Chapter 4
He turned around. Caroline was standing at his bed, in a white doctor's overall.
'Nice to see you, Tony', she sat down at the end of his bed. Tony got scared. She had had the order to kill him the last time they have met. Her order was retreated and she had had another chance shortly before NCIS had arrived at Scorpia's old headquarters. On the other side he remembered the joy in her eyes when she had held her knife at his neck.
'Do you want to kill me? Do it. I am defenseless now', he said and leaned back.
She smiled at him. 'Why should I kill a defenseless victim?', she asked.
'I was defenseless when we had our 'date' and you wanted to kill me then, too', he reminded her.
'I gave you all the chances I could. You should have known before never to trust a woman who first wants sex and then dinner.'
He just smiled ironically. She had been so sexy. And somehow she still was. He felt a bit like Kate toward Ari. He tried to figure out what she wanted to do here. Why had she come to see him and how had she found out that he was there?
'How have you found me?', he asked.
'Although it's quite a mess here, you have been registered as patient. And I know how to hack a computer', she said.
Her eyes made her looking so cute. Those dark brown eyes were smiling at him. Or was he just imagining it?
'What do you want here?', he asked once more.
'How do you feel?', she asked back.
'It told you, great.'
'Pain?'
'Yeah, my belly has been cut open.'
'I know, I read the record', she said silently.
'Have you something to do with the attacks?' He just had to ask.
She was a killer and she had been a dangerous member of the criminal organization Scorpia. She still was dangerous.
Caroline sighed. 'Yes', she said shortly.
Tony couldn't believe his ears. He sat up again. 'For whom are you working now, Caroline?', he asked excited.
She laughed shortly. 'An Italian organization.'
'Which one? The Mafia?'
She had such a cute laugh. So gentle. 'No, they pay bad. They were shattered after a hit of the Italian police. They had searched new members.'
'So you, your boss Dr. Medici and your sister joined?'
'You're so smart. However, we needed a little time to plan it but at least not ten years as Al Qaeda did. The new boss, he wanted to do something big. Something that keeps in the mind of the people. Al Qaeda didn't use the power they had after it.'
'But you will. You and your criminal fellows.'
'You say it so negatively.'
'It is negative. It is wrong.'
'Do I look like someone who cares?'
He kept silence. He needed to think. 'What's the organization you joined called?'
'Well, they didn't have a name so they're now Scorpia. A new Scorpia.'
'It brings bad luck to use this name.'
'That's what I told them, too.'
'So you and your sister are in the head now?'
She nodded.
'Dr. Medici, too?'
She nodded again.
'And the boss of you all.'
She nodded again.
'How many other members?'
'Three other head members. About three hundred men with the same aims in whole Italy. A quite small organization…by now.'
Tony raised an eyebrow.
'He wants to expand', she explained.
'And you support their destiny?'
'I don't actually have the personal aim to destroy America or harm their people. But I'm a bad girl, Tony.'
'And you're dragging your little sister into it.'
She laughed. 'Come on, Tony. We moved out very early.'
'She had been sixteen.'
'Good record. She finished school and I studied and worked. Then she started studying and working, too.'
'She had no choice. You were the older sister. She depended on you.'
She laughed again. So softly. 'Oh no, Tony. We both found out that we were…different. We felt like we could do bad without regretting. It was fun to cross the lines. We didn't feel anything, at first. Of course, I do have feelings. We had different attitudes than our parents. We moved out. We pursued what we liked. We did bad things, then I killed for the first time. I am not an emotionless monster, Tony. But I didn't care. My sister killed, too. I actually didn't want her to. She was only sixteen. But it was fun to her. Not that psychopathic fun. One year later, just after she had turned seventeen, we killed our parents. She killed our father and I killed my mum. That was when I found out how much I actually hated them. Hated them all the time and trying to bear and to hide it. It felt good to let out all the anger.'
'I won't try.'
'I wouldn't advise you to. Killing is bad.'
'You kill.'
'Not without reason anymore.'
'You kill for other people.'
'And that's bad. I know. I have the blood of thousands of people on my hands now, Tony.' She said this with a very soft voice, far too soft for such an evil woman.
If Tony hasn't known it better, he wouldn't believe her.
'What do you want here?', he asked slowly.
He tried to calm down himself. He knew in what danger he actually was. She was a killer, nothing more, nothing less. It was not important if she was a pretty, sexy, hot woman or not. She was dangerous to him. She could kill him anytime and nobody would notice it.
She came nearer to him. 'Are you able to stand up?', she asked looking at the bandages around his belly.
'What?', he asked in disbelief. He didn't understand.
'Tony, you are now going to sit and stand up very slowly. We are both going to walk out of here. You are not going to escape or to attract any attention. Either you are going to do anything I would like to shoot you for, okay? And if you even try to do anything, just remember that I am faster with the gun in my left interior jacket pocket than you with your feet.' Tony looked into her eyes.
They were…kind.
He just nodded. 'You're the boss', he murmured and put his legs off the bed.
He made a face that obviously showed his pain. 'Are you alright?', she asked and put an arm under him to help him standing up. He stood up and turned to her. He was taller than her. He wanted to ask her why she was so kind to him but he decided not to say anything but do as she said. He followed her outside. She had been right. It was a complete mess here.
Injured people lay on the floor, they had to step over them to pass. Medicines and doctors were running through the corridors, people shouted, in pain, for help or to coordinate the chaos. Tony actually couldn't imagine Caroline being responsible for something like that.
He followed her outside a back door of the hospital. She put off the doctor's overall and threw it away. Tony looked around. He hadn't recognized this hospital and he had been unconscious on the drive here. He hasn't had time to ask yet. But now he saw, that it was the Washington General. It was in downtown and he could still see a light column of smoke far away in the background.
'Come on, Tony', Caroline said and helped him to walk. The sky was more or less blue, despite all the dust. They walked to the overcrowded parking lot to a dark red, very old car.
'You seem not to be paid well', he joked.
'The boss didn't want you to bleed down the back seat', she sat when she opened the back door. Tony stepped in first.
'Lie down', Caroline said and he did as he was told. He looked at the driver's seat.
The driver turned around. It was a woman, she seemed like a younger version of Caroline, tall, muscular, dark brown, a little bit curled hair exactly like her sister and with lighter strands in the hair, her face was the same and she had the same dark brown eyes you could only get lost in.
'Hey, Tony. I'm Katarina', she said smilingly.
'Her sister. That's obvious', Tony moaned in pain when he lay down. 'I try to drive carefully', she said softly and turned around. The same cute voice like her sister, Tony thought.
If they were the same age, they would have been identical twins, he also had in mind.
Caroline closed the door and went to the passenger's seat. Katarina started to drive. Tony tried to keep the window in look.
'Tony, try to relax and to lie down. It is too exhausting for you to try to figure out where we're driving. You are still not fit', Caroline said looking at Tony through the back mirror.
Tony lay his head down.
These two women were just so hot.
Poor Tony...he seems to feel exactly like Kate toward Ari...or is it different this time? And if he had to decide, would he be able to harm them to save one's life? Let's hope for Tony that he never has to answer this question...but we'll see...
