PART EIGHT Being cold like a monster

300 soldiers turned to dust...Nick was starting to get tired of the army, he wasn't a womanizer like the idiots they had there who bragged when he took the virginity of some stranger in the bar or in brothels. In fact, he was impressed that he was not addicted to this sort of thing and was more relaxed about sexual relations with strange women. but for god's sake he could be a cold demon taking lives but when he saw someone hitting a woman, he wanted to annihilate the bastard and make him swallow his organs just removed by Nick and let him die slowly. Nick had never forgotten that Russian assassin, he never thought he would see a woman as delicate as that one in a sea of blood... it was impressive that she didn't seem to have any kind of compassion for the victims either. something told him he would see her several times yet. But until then Nick quit the army to take a break to satisfy his boredom, he started hunting animals to distract himself, and buying a big room in an apartment in downtown Arizona.

So Nick ended up discovering that his friend Ellis was in Washington but precisely in Seattle, Ellis called him to spend some time there but Nick didn't think it was very interesting to go there to live but visiting them wouldn't be bad since according to Ellis they are having good company

- How long Nicholas! how are you brother?

- Say brat, it's really been a while...I'm great I'm living in Arizona

- Wow, did you finally get tired of the exercise? Did you at least get something?

- A service for the mafia here in Arizona I have an old relative, he said my services will be useful here.

- less bad, come visit us you have to meet the people here!

- Party every end of the month? annoying...

- Stop being an asshole come on you can take your girlfriends too!

- I don't have girlfriends Ellis.

- One day you find your better half or something

I hope so... thought Nick.

- I'll see what I can do.

- Nice see you in a week see you later

- goodbye cowboy.

Nick received a call reporting an explosion at a California heavy-lift factory.

OH SHITTT! Fuck! Rochelle narrowly missed being hit in the explosion the bastards made, she saw a truck coming that was going to crash into a getaway car to stop the fugitives, half of Rochelle's idiots were shot and died in agony...God that reminded her of his first war in Mordovia in eastern Russia

- If these fuckers think I'll die easily Я буду трахать их!

Rochelle opened fire on them and did damage that killed half and others died when a truck collided with a wave gauge, which sent Rochelle flying and causing her to hit her head. But trying to fight to stay awake she tried to get up when she saw that the shed was on fire, she jumped onto the bike to escape but one of the bastards made the bike lose control and Rochelle flipped and crashed into the ground so hard that her chest was without oxygen.

her vision was blurred she just heard a whistle and then more shots and felt something watching her, last thing she felt was someone carrying her out of the shed so she could try to breathe oxygen and not smoke. she tried to gather strength but she was so fragile that she fainted and what she heard last was

- Hold on tight by the way it will be my turn to save you.

-Nick arrived in time to see chaos sowing in that damn shed, but the worst thing was watching a car crash into the motorcycle that Russa was doing skidding and flipping with everything, but seeing that she even without breathing killed the bastard who would finish her God that woman did impossible things

He ran, finishing killing the rest, and stopped feeling his pulse was weak. He saw her struggling to get oxygen so he carried her out of there to try to soften up. Put her in a car and they went to the hospital

it looked like she was dead in that bed, she was pale since they arrived, Nick was in anguish he thought she'd better stay on oxygen longer but that nurse was pissing him off. He went out for a little smoke and calm down because otherwise he would yell at them.

- these motherfuckers are not competent.

Returning he received another message from Ellis giving him the date for him to go there to Seattle but he didn't give it the slightest chance. He had things to worry about...

When an hour had passed, he left again now to return with the suitcase that one of the bastards stole from one of the bosses to get some money to get her dinner.

Rochelle didn't even remember how she got there she was just glad she was finally breathing, she hated hospitals. even confused saw a nurse arrive more relieved

- Great, you're stable!

- How the hell did I get here?

- you don't remember your husband came carrying you here, you were unconscious he said you fell off the roof.

Holy shit I don't even have a husband.

- er...surely, it's not my husband...and I don't even have one.

- I'm sorry for the confusion was it a relative?

- as he was?

- Tall, wore a suit, dark hair and light eyes

Holy shit what the American was doing in the damn shed!

- oh he's a relative yes sorry.

Nurse withdrew and she stood there thinking when she got scared

- relative...interesting.

with a leap she saw the American with a bag that smelled like Italian food.

- are you following me now? what the fuck were you doing in that shed?

- Sorry ma'am but I saved your life, ok?

- you did not answer my question.

- c'mon I just got out of that boring army I'm doing services to a relative, in fact what you were doing there could have died.

- you think you're the only one who works for the mafia I had to execute them all anyway.

- by the way, the weapons I kept with me until you return to active

- Are you my babysitter by any chance?

ignoring her, he took the food put it on the table from her lap and took the soda can and opened it

Rochelle was about to pick up the silverware but both arms shook.

-fuck...all I need to say is that I broke my arms...

- probably the way you fell with the impact of the bike

- by the way, thanks for inventing the roof story...

- I just thought fast

Nick noticed her agony trying to move her arm but he saw it was so bad that if she tried harder, it would get worse.

He gently touched the arm to stop

- better not to force or your muscles will be torn apart

- fuck that I'm starving here...i just need one.

Nick then with the locket made her arms lock

He picked up the silverware and opened the plate, generously serving the food on the fork.

- Open the mouth.

- can't believe on this. Im not a baby Nicholas.

- it's that or you won't feed, I paralyzed your arms so you don't make them worse

tired of resisting, she leaned over and ate while he took Spoonfuls of food, while Nick laughed a little at the situation.

- Look at the next laugh I spit this risotto in your face.

- calm down sweetheart doesn't need unnecessary violence.

After the last bite, Rochelle felt such a sharp pang in her head that she instantly blacked out.

Desperate Nick removed the table and called the nurse who came running with the doctor who saw his blood pressure drop

Nick cared about someone for the first time after his mother.
