Gangsters paradise part 8

Phil and Sam walked hand in hand up the stairs and into the hospital, Phil was worried about seeing Steve, he wasn't sure what to expect, he knew that Steve would be a state, but he couldn't just stand by and watch his little brother get hurt again after he'd seen him.

Sam was just as worried as Phil, of course she was worried about Steve and how much pain he must be in, but not half as worried about him as she was for Phil. It was the way Phil would react at the sight of Steve, whether he would just decide not to get involved and listen to her, or whether he would turn nasty and want revenge. Either way she had to protect Phil, and not let him change back to his old ways.

Phil stood in silence, so Sam spoke first after realising that Phil wouldn't.

'where here to see Steve hunter' Sam asked the receptionist.

'right well, he's just through the doors and then to your right, but he's just getting ready to leave, he wont listen to any of our doctors, so maybe you could help?'

'right thanks, we will try our best anyway' Sam smiled and followed Phil who semt to storm off to his brother.

Phil opened the door and gulped as he saw the sight of Steve, Sam slowly followed him in and was shocked to see Steve, he was gathering his belongings.

'Steve mate, you ok, what do you think you are doing?' Phil said in a worried tone.

Sam looked at Phil, who seamed genuinely concerned for his brother, Steve looked so different though, he had muscles, he was so thin before but now he was built more like Phil and his dad. He was wearing a black tank top and had three tattoos, two on one arm and one on the other. He was covered in bruises, and had blood all over the clothes he was wearing.

'I'm going too dads, I've got to get out of here, I can't just sit here, I've got work to do' Steve was really angry and worried at the same time.

'what do you mean work, I'm not just going to stand here and watch you ruin your life, just because of what dads done.'

'what like you did you mean, dads told me what you were like, about all the people you used to know and be mates with, and the sort of things you use to do to people, so you carry on Phil, now that you have got the perfect life, I take it you have the gorgeous Sam on your arm now, and that you love her very much.' Steve was still packing his things, while Sam looked at Phil, she couldn't believe he had kept this from her, they had to talk, but she would get the truth out of him later, she still loved him and wanted to be there for him.

'Shut it Steve you know that was in the past, I was only fifteen, and anyway, it was mum that finally stopped me before I did anything that could get me put in prison for life.' Phil smiled at Sam, he didn't want her to be put off by what Steve was saying. Sam smiled back and held his hand.

'get lost Phil I don't need you here, when have you ever been bothered over me anyway, at least I've got dad now, someone likes me.'

'you're my brother Steve, you do my head in, and you are an annoying little git, but your still my brother that's not going to change.' with that Phil grinned at him, Steve smiled a little, and remembered a time when they actually were friends.

'ok, will you do me a favour then, actually I think a better talk to you alone?' Phil looked at Sam and she smiled worriedly.

'ok, I will be outside the hospital Phil, I need some fresh air anyway.' with that she left the room and shut the door behind her.

'what then, if its anything dodgy I'm not doing it?'

'well it is but you're the only person I can think of that would do it.'

'what do you mean I'm a changed man, I don't want to be involved, anyway I promised Sam that I wouldn't'

'Phil, when do you ever do what a woman says, and I wont tell her if you wont.'

'well she's different, I love her, and she would ask questions as well, I'm not lying to her, she means to much to me.'

Just then Steve bent down and picked up a large bag, he opened the bag, and showed Phil what was inside. Phil looked at him in disgust.

'and what do you expect me to do with this then?'

'I need you to hide it, make sure Sam doesn't find it and make sure the gang doesn't find it either.'

'she will go mental, how do you expect me to hide a million quid and a gun?'

'I don't know, there's also some drugs in there and the blood stained clothes of the guy I killed.'

'this just gets better, what hell are you playing at, killing people, selling drugs and stealing the gangsters money, you must be on drugs Steve, either that or your brain has flown away.'

'please Phil, I need you to do this for me, I don't want to be involved in this, but I am, and I cant get out, dads stolen more money than I have, dad made me do it, he wants the money so that he can move abroad and get back to his other family again, that's why these guys are after me not dad, he's the real bad guy here not me, he's a gangster too, he just wont admit it, he got his mates to beat me up coz I wouldn't kill this guy, so in the end I had no choice, and I killed him, please Phil, cant you get in touch with your old mates and get them beaten up?'

'no chance, I cant, I wont, I will turn back to my old ways if I do, I know I will, anyway what dad has told me is totally different to what you have said.'

'dads one of the biggest gang members in there, he's best mates with the leader, but please Phil, I'm your brother I need your help.'

'I swear when I see dad he's gonna get it….listen I may be able to help, but not all the dodgy stuff, but try not to mention this to anyone, not even Sam, give me the bag, you can stay in my flat tonight.' Phil reluctantly took the bag off Steve angrily, and Steve picked up his other bag of clothes, Phil stormed out of the room, with Steve closely following behind him…….
