"Shaundi," the boss said. "I like you, I really do but I can't have a serious relationship with one of my crew members."

Shaundi's facial expression turned to disappointment. She stood up properly and took a few steps back, away from the boss.

"I just don't know what to say," she said as she put her hand on her forehead.

"I'm sorry Shaundi," the boss said.

"No," said Shaundi. "Just forget it."

Shaundi walked out of the boss's bedroom with a few tears rolling down her cheeks. She walked down the steps and Pierce and Johnny looked at her.

"How'd it go with the boss?" Pierce laughed.

Shaundi shot an intimidating glare at Pierce. Johnny analyse Shaundi's face and noticed that she was crying. He punched Pierce in the arm to stop him from laughing.

"Shaundi are you ok?" Johnny asked.

Pierce wondered what Johnny was talking about until he looked towards Shaundi and saw for himself that she was crying.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry Shaundi," Pierce apologised.

Shaundi sniffed and shook her head.

"It's fine Pierce," she said as she wiped her tears.

"What happened?" Johnny asked.

Shaundi make her way over to the boys and sat on the couch opposite them.

"I knew if I reveal my feelings for the boss I'd get hurt," she said.

Johnny stood up and looked towards the boss's room.

"I'm gonna go talk to him," Johnny said. "Pierce, comfort Shaundi."

Pierce moved over to Shaundi and tapped her on the back, making sure she was ok while Johnny walked up the stairs and opened the boss's bedroom door.

"Boss?" he said.

The boss was still sat on the end of his bed with his his head in his hands. Johnny made his way towards the bed and sat down next to him.

"You ok?" he asked.

"I like her Gat," the boss answered. "I always have."

"You know, she really heartbroken. I think she liked you for a long time," Johnny told him.

The boss looked up at Johnny from his hands.

"A long time?" he asked.

Johnny nodded and put his hand on the boss's shoulder.

"What happened? If you like her and she likes you, why are you both emotionally hurt?" he asks.

The boss shook his head slowly and then leaned back into his hands.

"I can't be with Shaundi, she's a saint and part of this family. If I feel for her more than I already do, I won't be able to cope if something bad happens to her," the boss explained.

Johnny nodded as a reply telling the boss that he understood his situation.

"I didn't know what else to say to her," he said. "I didn't want to hurt her."

"Wow," Johnny said, making the boss look back up to him from his hands. "You really like her don't you?"

The boss sighed and lied down on the bed.

"You should get some rest," Johnny told him.

The boss didn't say anything. Johnny stood up, taking the hint that the boss wanted to be left alone.

Johnny made his way out of the room and down the stairs to Pierce and Shaundi.

Shaundi seemed like she was enjoying her time playing chess with Pierce.

"Seriously Pierce?" Johnny asked. "Chess?"

"Chess is the best game in the whole of history," Pierce told him.

Johnny rolled his eyes and sat on the couch, watching Shaundi and Pierce play the game.

"The boss is taking this pretty hard," Johnny informed them.

Shaundi stopped playing and looked at Johnny.

"He is?" she asked.

Johnny nodded.

"He was sat on the end of his bed with his head in his hands when I first walked in and when I left, he lied down on the bed and ignored me," he told them.

At that moment when Johnny finished speaking, the boss came out of the room as slammed the door shut. He slammed the door that hard that the chess board messed up.

"Really?" Pierce said with an annoyed tone.

Johnny laughed and Pierce mimicked him. The boss walked down the stairs and made his way into the kitchen, not making eye contact with any of the saints. Everyone watched him in silence as he walked.

"Told you he was taking this hard," Johnny whispered to Shaundi and Pierce.

Just then the boss, Shaundi, Pierce and Johnny all heard a scream for help. The boss walked into the room and made his way towards Johnny.

"Who have you got and what did you do?" he asked firmly.

"How did you know I took the girl? It could have been Pierce for all you know," Johnny said.

"Your predictable," the boss said.

Johnny stared at him for a minute before speaking again.

"We have one of the morning stars as hostage," Johnny told him.

"I'm the boss, you do not suggest or make plans that we keeps any of those piece of shits in this penthouse, understand?" the boss made himself clear.

Johnny was shocked that the boss was acting like this towards him.

"Gheez boss, what's gotten into you?" Pierce asked.

The boss shot a sharp glare at Pierce and Johnny stood up in the way of the boss's view.

"I'll take you to her," he said quickly.

Johnny led the way to the morning star he had as hostage. The boss walked into the room and saw the woman tied to the chair.

"Please let me go," she begged.

The boss approached the woman.

"I'll tell you everything if you just let me go," she promised them.

"And how will we know your not lying?" Johnny asked.

"Because I'm not," she told him.

She looked up to the boss with a painful look in her eyes.

"You know," the boss said. "Just having you in my presence makes me sick."

The woman gulped as she could tell the boss wasn't in the best of moods.

"You tell me what I need to know, and I'll think about letting you go," the boss told her.

She nodded and was prepared to answer the questions.

"Ok," the boss said as he paced back and forth in front of her. "Back at the hospital, you wanted to get needed information from me."

"Yes," she said.

"Who was you getting the information for? Why did you need it? And what information was it?" The boss threw questions at her.

"Well um..." she didn't answer any of them.

The next thing she knows, the boss pulled out his gun and stuck it to her head.

"Answer my motherfucking questions," the boss made himself clear for the second time today.

"Ok I'll talk," she said. "My leader sent me, he said he needed it so he knew what you were plotting so he knew what not to do or plot himself and he needed basic information."

"Example?" he asked.

"Like where you live," she answered.

"Good girl," Johnny said. "Your easy to interrogate you know."

The woman looked down in disappointment.

"Who are you?" the boss asked.

The woman looked up to them and opened her mouth to speak.

"My name is Aisha," she told them.

"Aisha eh?" the boss asked.

Aisha nodded.

"Will you let me go now?" she asked.

The boss thought about it for a moment and then came to an answer.

"No," he said.

"What?! I answered all of your questions honestly and..." Aisha was cut off by the boss lifting his gun to her head once again.

"I said no," he told her firmly.

"What are you going to do with me?" she asked.

"You are not a morning star anymore," the boss told her.

"Wait what?" she asked confused.

Johnny looked at the boss with a confused look too.

"You are now a saint," the boss said.

"A saint?!" she said.

"How, what and why?!" Johnny asked. "We're never going to be able to make a saint out of her!"

"We did with Viola right?" the boss said making a point.

"Well yeah but that's only because killbane killed her twin," Johnny told him.

"Because of your kind of attitude Johnny, your going to be looking after her," the boss told him as he walked off.

When the boss entered the room where Shaundi ad Pierce were sitting, he informed them on the new saint.

"What?!" Pierce asked. "Are you fucking crazy?!"

The boss gave Pierce a pugnacious glance and then spoke.

"She's a saint, Johnny is looking after her and we're all going to work together," the boss told them.

As the boss went to walk off, Shaundi stepped in his way.

"I have a few questions," Shaundi said.

"What is it Shaundi?" he asked.

"One, why did you invite or should I say, force her into becoming a saint? Two, why are you pissed off? And three, tell me the reason why you can't be with me," Shaundi threw difficult questions at him.

"I forced her into the saints because I know she is capable of achieving goals that will help the saints," the boss answered her first question.

"What goals?" she asked.

"You'll see," the boss said as he was about to walk off past her.

Shaundi put her hand out on his chest and pushed him back in front of her.

"You still have two more questions to answer," Shaundi told him.

"I'm pissed off because I just am," he said and was about to walk off again.

Shaundi pushed him back in front of her again.

"I believe that," Pierce said. "He's always pissed off."

Shaundi rolled her eyes and then looked at the boss.

"I'm waiting for the next answer," she said.

The boss took a minute before answering.

"I don't know what I'd do if you get hurt," the boss told her. "I already feel for you and I know that if we get together, I'll fall in love with you and you will be my weakness. People will use you and hold it against because there's no doubt that our enemies won't find out how to physical and emotionally hurt me."

Pierce listened and was surprised by the boss's honesty and feelings towards Shaundi.

Shaundi stared at the boss with tears in her eyes.

"I understand your point," Shaundi said as she put her hand softly on his cheek. "But you need to understand my point."

The boss listened.

"I like you, I always have and I've never had the guts to tell you because I knew that if I revealed my feelings for you, I would end up being hurt one way or another. But I like you that much that I don't care about what will happen in the future, I care about what's happening now," she explained.

Pierce sniffed and wiped a tear.

The boss stared into Shaundi's watery eyes and slowly placed his lips onto hers. They shared a long, sweet kiss and then parted.

They looked into each other's eyes and the boss smiled at her. Shaundi smiled back and gave him a huge hug.

Pierce blowed his nose and let out a loud cry. The boss and Shaundi looked towards him as he was sitting on the couch sniffing and wiping his tears away.

"Love is so beautiful," he said crying again.
