King of Hearts

Chapter 45 – The Two Most Dangerous Men In The Business.

Hash's POV, Chase Hospital.

Vexer stayed in the car. I told him to keep an eye out for anyone suspicious and to call me if they enter the hospital. Cause if I know Morgue he'll try to finish the job. Too bad he's going to have to beat me to her this time.

Approaching the front desk, I asked the young lady.

"Excuse me. My daughter was just rushed in from a car accident. Is she okay?" I kept my voice just in between the lines of what her real father would sound like. I would like to guess anyway that he gives two shits.

Checking her computer she replied.

"Oh I'm so sorry. Your daughter is currently going under surgery."

"What's wrong with her?" I asked in concern as she urged me to leave the public eye to talk further in private.

Taking me into the main hall she replied.

"Both her legs were broken. The femur in her left leg did the most damage. Doctors are trying their best to realign the bones."

"Will she walk?" I asked as she nodded.

"If everything goes well. But the state she is in now sir is very fragile. And there is a chance she might not get better."

"Can I see her?" I asked next in most importance as she quickly replied.

"I can take you to the ER, but your going to have to wait till their done."

Grabbing her hand and shaking it, I replied.

"Thank you so much."

Giving me a smile, I gently let her go as she led the way towards the emergency rooms.

Checking around to be sure I wasn't being followed at all, I continued on behind her till she stopped in front of a set of double doors.

"Take a seat for now. The doctor will be with you as soon as possible."

"Thank you again." I replied as she made her way back towards the front desk.

Now alone and only feet apart from the kill, I checked my Jericho 941 and began my wait. This doctor better be out soon. I have other things to do today.

Vexer's POV.

I can't believe Hash was really going to do this. Where does he find the guts to murder a little girl? Especially one with autism? Now I can see why he's the Underboss. Don Soul knows he's willing to do anything for him.

Keeping myself calm and focused on the front entrance leading inside. I watched closely as there were only a few people going in or out. Most being older women and security. So far, so good.

Hash's POV.

As minute after minute passed and I grew more impatient by the second of wasted time. I sat up to an older woman making her way towards me. I reached under my coat to take a grip of my gun just in case, as she rested her eyes on me with a smile.

"Well hello. I thought I was the only one in this city who cared enough to make sure young Jenny is safe. It's crazy how things like this happen so sudden."

Letting go of my gun as she approached, I stared at the woman as she soon offered me her hand.

Slowly taking it, she said.

"I'm Jenny's grandmother Ruth. I don't think I know you."

As we shook, I replied.

"I'm one of the teachers at her school. I was about to go on shift when I saw what had happened to her. I just had to be sure she was okay."

Gently letting me go, she shouted in joy.

"Well it's nice to know some people have a care for little old Jenny. Her mother dying and all to cancer and her worthless father leaving her at only two years old."

In my head I was glad I got here first. Otherwise the father plan wouldn't have gotten me this far.

Shaking my head in a sad way, I asked.

"Did they tell you anything?"

Waving her hand in front of me once swiftly, she replied.

"Oh I don't have to know sweetie. Jenny is a strong girl. Just like her mother. She's gotten through worse. It's a shame and a sin that whoever hit my little girl just drove off. I'm sure the police will track them down though. They always do."

The old woman then tried to sit. It was clear she was having trouble. Out of respect for her; I helped her down by taking her hand.

"Thank you. Such a gentlemen. We need more of you around these days."

Cracking a smile as I got down beside her, I refocused back on the door. Now left with an old woman made me feel stuck. I have no worries taking her down if I have too, but I would like to spare her that much. Plus Soul said to keep it clean.

Through more and more waiting, I was first to rise as the doctor came out.

"Is she okay?" I asked faking my concern as he shook his head.

"I'm afraid the damage is too severe to her legs. We did what we could and got the bones where they belong, but she won't be able to walk again."

Lowering my head as the old woman got up, I kept silent as she replied to the doctor.

"At least she's alive. Can I see her?"

Nodding, the doctor looked back at her to urge.

"Give us a minute to pack up here and move her to a room. For now she needs to stay on life support till we can get her body working properly again."

Nodding as he went back inside the room. I felt the old lady rest her hand on my shoulder to urge.

"Don't worry. Jenny will be fine. Legs or no legs. At least she's alive."

Giving her a smile as she went back to her seat, we waited till the doctors were done to begin following their path.

The second they brought her out it was clear she was out of it. Or in a coma. She looked dead, simple to say.

Guiding Ruth who was behind after her grandchild. We soon reached the room they had got her into. A few nurses got everything hooked up as we waited for the ok to head on in.

Soon enough we were given the all clear and I followed in behind Ruth, who was making her way slowly to her side.

With her back away from me, I shut the door almost all the way and eyed the plugs.

My plan was simple. Approach the girl, pull the plugs, knock out granny. That's it. Quick, clean, no one other then the brat gets killed.

Cautiously taking my first step towards the bed, I watched Ruth as she stared at her grandchild's resting face. I almost felt bad about doing this, but a job is a job.

Setting myself on the other side of the bed, I reached for the cords to hear the door reopen.

Quickly releasing the plugs, I looked back to find a face I have only ever seen a picture of before.

It was an instant, but with no remorse he pulled up a silenced five seven and unloaded two direct rounds into Ruth who was taken off guard and hit right in the head by both. Her body hit the wall and then the floor, as I went to reach for my weapon. However I was stopped as he aimed right at me.

"Don't even think about it Hash." He urged me with a low voice as I stopped my draw.

"Step aside." He ordered as I stared right into his red eyes.

With his gun still aimed towards my head, I growled and took a step forward.

Shax stood motionless as I got in front of his gun to place it on my forehead.

With no words said, he cocked his gun back getting me to flinch inside. Even unseen to him, I swore he knew I did.

This standoff was going to end one of two ways. I was ether going to get killed, or I was just going to have to let him finish the job. Ether way I knew nether one of us feared death, but seeing as he had me on the sharp end, I slowly brought myself to move by him and towards the door.

Giving me a slight look back with his eyes, I watched from the doorway as he approached the girl's bedside to pull the plugs.

The monitors began to go off as he turned to head back my way.

"Better run." He urged as he walked right by me to head for the opposite of the hospital.

In awe still that he didn't kill me, I broke out of my trance and made haste for the exit before anyone could figure out what had happened.

With Vexer still on standby with the getaway, I got in to order.

"Let's get out of here."

Starting us up, he asked.

"Did you kill her?"

I could only growl to that question now as he took a hint to ignore the answer and just get us back to the compound.

Soul was going to have my ass for this.

Leave a love and a hug and be ready for the next chapter.
