.She’ll be fine here.If we were going to be jumped, it would have already happened.I set the revolver that I hid in her duffel bag on the coffee table.She looks stressed, with pained lines creased on her forehead.I wish she didn’t see what I had to do to protect her.With that lingering thought on my mind, I turn away and move toward the front window.I slide my finger between the slats to see if anyone is watching.The coast looks clear, nothing but a bunch of punks running around with a soccer ball.With one last wistful glance over my shoulder to Cassie, I wrench open my front door and head out to the curb, where my bike is parked.The sunlight glints off the chrome as I throw my leg over the beast.The engine turns over without hesitation and I pull away from the sidewalk, twisting the throttle so hard I’m sure to leave a skid mark on the beaten and worn asphalt.The sooner I see Surge, the faster I can get back to Cassie.Word that Rattlesnake is dead will spread like wildfire, and if I don’t do damage control, it’ll consume us until we’re nothing but ash and dust.The parking lot at the hospital is packed, but I’ve always made my own space.After securing my bike, I dash into the lobby.I don’t even bother taking off my cut to hide my affiliation with the crew.The receptionist eyes me, with a strange look in her eye.Not a disgusted look, but a curious one.It’s almost funny, because two weeks ago, I might have coaxed her out of her scrubs and into a nearby empty room for a quick fuck, but right now, all I can think about is getting back to Cassie.I almost want to question what’s wrong with me, but I push the thought away.When I approach, she looks a little threatened until I ask what room Surge is staying in.She reminds me, and I disappear down the hall.I don’t see anything but gleaming tile and the occasional nurse or doctor.The air is stale and tastes like dust.In Surge’s room, I find him sitting up and drinking a glass of water.I step inside and close the door to the hallway.“What the hell?” he exclaims, looking over his shoulder at me.He’s only wearing a blue patient gown, and his back is bare and facing me.His face starts to contort into angered surprise, but relaxes when he recognizes me.“Oh, Logan.You scared the shit outta me, scrambling in here like a god damn wasp is after you.”Now that I’m here, I feel tongue-tied.I can’t just blurt out what happened with the Skeletons, with Cassie, and what I’ve done.I don’t know why.There’s something about the way he’s looking at me.Like, he’s going to punish me.I can’t have that holding me back right now.“We need to talk,” is all I can manage.He turns and leans back in his bed, without slipping under the covers.He crosses his arms.His face looks worn and beaten, with dark rims circling his eyes.His gown moves a bit as he settles in, and I notice a long scar hiding underneath.“What is it?”I point at him, and change the subject despite my resolve.“What happened?”He seems surprised, as if he forgot, then he looks down and sighs heavily.When he looks up at me again, his eyes are a bit brighter.“They found a tumor, and cut it outta me.It wasn’t bad, benign or something they called it.They just ran some tests this morning and I’m clean as a whistle now.” He smiles.“They’ll be discharging me soon.”Emotion tightens my chest and I wheeze out a breath of relief.“Jesus Christ,” is all I say before I have to sit down.“You’re going to be okay.” A strange feeling overwhelms me, but I choke it back without much effort.I’m not like that.He coughs and sits up and leans forward over his knees, his tone suddenly sardonic.“Nice for someone to come fuckin’ visit me after leaving me here.You know they make you pee into bed pans here? It’s like the god damn middle ages.”I laugh and buckle over.When I recover and look at him again he’s smiling.The sunlight through the blinds strikes his face and he suddenly looks a lot younger, like the tumor was something weighing him down all these years.Who knows how long he had it? I don’t want to talk about it anymore.I have shit I gotta take care of.Cassie is still at home, wondering God knows what.I shouldn’t have left her before she woke up.I swallow spit and breathe deep.“Surge, I got bad news.”He frowns.“What? I hope it’s not about the drug drop [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
