Chapter 304 - You Came to My Rescue - mdtres
Kevin
"Later you can scold me."
With a knife, she freed my feet and my right hand. While she had her back to the goons, she started to free my left hand.
"They cut off your finger!"
Two things happened at once. My wife grabbed the finger and stashed it away as I grabbed the gun left on the table. With the skill we have, I fired two shots at the goon who had stood up aiming at my wife, then shot the one still on the floor.
"What the hell are you doing here? Did you tell Arnold? Rhino?" She shook her head. "You came alone!"
She nodded. I pulled her close. What did this woman just do? "Show you how important you are to her," a little voice in my mind answered. The boss isn't the only one with an impulsive woman, now I get it.
"Let me put something on your finger."
"I need to make a tourniquet for my leg." Her hands trembled. "Luna."
Since I made love to her in the gardens of this mansion under the moonlight, the light creating a contrast on her bare skin, I was enchanted. That moment seemed ephemeral.
"Luna."
It was what slipped from my lips. Her white skin with those scars I know so well, if I ever find the bastard who did this to her, I won't leave a piece of his skin uncut.
"They say wolves only obey their moon."
She was on top of me. While I smiled, experiencing the strangest yet most sublime sensation of my life. A noise brought me back from that beautiful memory. Instinctively, I put her behind me. The third goon entered the cell, and a bullet hit his head. I didn't have time for anything else. I had to find that bastard Yuri.
"We need to go," she said, her hands trembling.
"I have some unfinished business."
"We need to go!" she almost shouted. "You're hurt, please."
"Wait for me here if you want, or come with me." She lowered her gaze.
"I need ice, I have to put your finger in a lot of ice."
"It's already lost."
"They can reattach it, I saw it on a show. You'll lose mobility, but it will be your finger. It's worth a try. And I need to put something on it so you don't bleed out."
"Let's go." I limped, breathing heavily. The rib must be causing some damage. "Carlina, I have a bullet in my right thigh, one of my ribs is broken and probably puncturing something inside, it's hard to breathe, I'm covered in bruises, and I'm missing a finger." I paused to take a deep breath.
"Why are you telling me all this?"
"I could pass out at any moment. We're going to the kitchen, take what you need. I need sugar for the wounds, we don't have anything else until we get to Rhino."
She didn't say anything else. We walked to the kitchen. On the way, I killed two guards. With Nikolay gone, the staff was reduced. Concentrating, I watched my wife, yes, because she earned it by showing me her loyalty, take a sealed container and fill it with ice, placing my finger inside.
I didn't say anything, but she needs to get used to the idea that she can help me with this. Then she tore my pants and cleaned the wound. The bullet was still inside, which is why it hurt so much. She poured sugar on it, tied the wound with clean kitchen rags, and then did the same with my left hand.
"Would you like to study nursing or medicine?"
"I like healing more than operating. Nursing would be fine." I smiled at her. "You're getting pale."
"No one listens to me!"
It was Yuri's voice. The guy entered the kitchen, and I put Carlina behind me. She held the container with my finger close to her body as if it were the most precious thing. Can a human fall in love with someone so quickly? I’ve known her for over a year, and we've been together for a few months. I'm a seasoned man who has never felt this warmth I feel having her by my side.
"Well..."
I smiled. The first shot hit his shoulder right in the joint. The second bullet hit the other side, now taking away his ability to pull a trigger. His scream must have alerted the guards, I didn't have much time, or maybe no one heard. I wouldn't take that risk. Limping, I dragged him to one of the island chairs.
"I told you I'd kill you. I don't have time to give you a beating, but I'll fill your ass with bullets. Carlina, get me a knife and there's paper and a pencil next to the fridge."
She brought me what I asked for. I took Yuri's hand, his arms bleeding, and looking him in the eyes without any remorse, I cut off his pinky finger. He screamed again.
"We're even."
I elbowed him and broke his nose, then dragged him onto the island, which hurt my ribs even more. The guy screamed, he never imagined I could turn into this, now I am Wolf. I placed the revolver where I had told him and shot him three times, then once in the head.
"I'm sorry about this."
It was the only thing I said to Carlina, who was still pale and clutching the container. I wrote on the paper.
"I don't regret killing your husband, but he messed with me. See you soon, Kevin."
My legs gave out, and Carlina rushed to support me with her slender body.
"Love, hold on."
"You must see me as a monster."
"Never, he wasn't a good person. Since I saw him enter Nikanor's room, I didn't like him. Besides, the boy always got nervous around him. That's why I didn't leave before they took the boy away."
"Did that bastard abuse him?"
"We'd have to ask him, he never confessed it to me, he just thanked me for sleeping with him."
"Bring me the paper." She did, and I wrote.
"P.S.: I shot him in the ass for abusing your son Nikanor. And if you allowed it, I'll fill your ass with bullets too."
"I'm not afraid of you."
When I looked at her, she smiled at me as if I were her hero and not the son of a bitch I am. Everything started spinning.
"Kevin, hold on, please hang on until we get to the airport. Please."
"Call Rino..."
......
Aníbal
I see the most beautiful woman on earth sleeping in that huge bed. I'm not that good at talking, in fact, she complains about it, says I make her blush with my big mouth, so I decided to write her a letter, well, two. One for her and the other for my friends.
In it, I ask her to keep it for years and years until she dies and to hand it over to the boss. I asked Erminda—that's the name of our housekeeper—to give it to her once I left in three days for that mission.
"Take my picture."
"Sweetheart, I have many pictures of you naked, and those are the ones I look at when I jerk off."
She covered her face with the pillow, not without turning red first. I knelt, turned her around, and caressed her flat belly. I always find it exciting to see my black hand on her white skin, I love that. I covered her belly with thousands of kisses.
"How do you imagine our child?"
"Like you."
"I didn't marry a beauty queen to have a little monkey, sweetheart." She removed the pillow, laughing.
"You're the most handsome dark-skinned man on earth."
"Tell that to the mirror, what I do know is that I look cool." She pulled my ear.
"I imagine him dark-skinned, with your beautiful smile, with that sparkle in his eyes that knocks out any woman, that he can have that great body. With your physique and my overwhelming personality, our child will be beautiful. I'm so happy to be pregnant."
"I love you, my wife." My cell phone rang, and when I looked, it was Rata.
"Boss."
"We'll pick you up in ten minutes. They captured Wolf, the idiot Arnold is in Germany, although I'm not sure if that was the best move right now. Everything got pushed forward."
"Yes, sir." My wife's look made me feel guilty. "Everything got pushed forward, love."
"Aníbal... Promise me you'll come back."
"Shirly, I've already told you, I can't promise you that, but I can tell you that I want to always be by your side and I'll do everything in my power to always be with you. Even dead, I'll stay by your side."
"Don't talk like that."
"Good thing I already showered."
I put on jeans, a t-shirt, stored my weapons in the usual places, grabbed my bag that's always ready. I approached her, kissed her on the forehead, nose, and mouth.
"Wait for me." I kissed her belly. "While I'm gone, you're the man of the house."
"It could be a girl."
"It will be a boy, I want him to continue my legacy, and then we can have a girl."
"Take care, God bless you."
"Sleep. Don't call me, I'll call you."
"Understood, my captain."
I kissed her again. I went down the stairs of the ranch. Martín was at the door, this kid wakes up early.
"Hi, uncle."
"Nephew, I'm leaving, you're the man of the house and you must protect your siblings."
"Yes, sir."
I ruffled his hair, the two SUVs stopped. I put my bag in the back and got into Cereza's car, Rata was next to me.
"Good morning, what do I need to know?"
They handed me a monitor. I saw them taking the life of one of the girls who helped the kids in Russia.
"Rino must be on a shift at the clinic, he hasn't answered yet. For now, we're heading to Russia to rescue Wolf. After talking to Rino, we'll decide whether to change course or not."
