Helping Mr. Gang Leader The other side of him
Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 43: the other side of Sal . “It’s not me,” Sal said finally. “It’s my sister. There’s something wrong with her, even if her doctor doesn’t think so.”Next to Sal, Ezekiel lowered his bowl slowly, wiped at his mouth, and asked, “Hana?”Even Dante looked startled. “Why didn’t you say anything?”Sal ignored them, staring straight at Gianna. “My sister is ten. She should be out running around and playing with her friends. But all she does is lay around and sleep. She says she’s tired all the time. She can barely stay awake at school.”Gianna’s eyes narrowed in interest. “You said a doctor already cleared her?”“Some asshole at the local hospital did,” Sal said with fierce anger. “He acted like she was just lazy, but I know she isn’t. She used to be loud and energetic.”“How recent has this happened?”Sal looked to be guessing as he said, “A couple weeks. Maybe a month.”Gianna could see the tension and unease radiating from Sal, and the tapping of his

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 43: not infinite, not Mariposa but Doctors . “What about your heart?”Hana, who was cute as a button, gave an almost invisible nod. “It beats really fast sometimes.”“And slow at other times? Slower than you usually feel?”.“No,” She denied, and Gianna felt sweet relief whip through her. A quick heartbeat, rather than a heartbeat that alternated between quick and slow, was easier to deal with. And it indicated something much better than the other scenarios that were playing through Gianna’s head.“No?” She asked to be sure.“No,” she confirmed. “It just gets fast sometimes, like when I stand up really fast, or for too long.”“Do you know what’s wrong with her?” Sal cut in sharply.Gianna turned to Sal and pressed a finger to her lips. Sal was worse than some of the parents that accompanied their children. It was obviously only because he loved her, though.“What about your appetite?” Gianna inquired. “How are you eating?” She finished inflating th

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 44: the secret behind Rio . “So,” Sal tried as they sped towards the clinic, mere minutes away with how the Mariposa member was driving. “Is it always this exciting at your clinic? I mean, gunshot wounds, gangsters lurking around, fistfights between the doctors.”Gianna gave him a look from the corner of her eye, clinging to the door handle. Instead of a proper response, she said, “I didn’t honestly think it was possible for me to feel more scared than when Rio is driving. And I’m certain he has a death wish.”Sal gave a deep kind of laugh. “He’s just an adrenaline junkie.”“He’s crazy,” Gianna corrected. “And not just because he drives a motorcycle.”They were well into Infinite territory then, and Gianna wanted to put a hat over Sal’s head or slip sunglasses over his eyes.“Rio just likes to feel.”The comment caught Gianna off guard. “Feel?”There was clear hesitancy on Sal’s face, then he said almost delicately, “Most of us in Mariposa, even if

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 45: what seems to be the problem? . “Sal,” Gianna offered gently. “You don’t have to…”Sal looked weary as he said, “I don’t know the details. This is one thing Rio doesn’t talk about. I just know that Rio’s boy’s home finally started putting up a fight. The workers there refused to let their boys get devoured up by Shinhwa, especially as the gang was starting to have major issues at the time and were in danger of staring some kind of civil war. So, when the workers said no one more time, Shinhwa set the place on fire. Rio made it out, and so did a couple other kids, but lots of people died. Gianna, Shinhwa barred the doors. They locked those people in before they set the place on fire. Just to prove a point.”Gianna felt her heart seize up into her chest, and for one moment, there was a stutter. But it was just heartache, she realized a moment after that. It was just sadness.“Rio lost everything,” Sal said, “time and time again. He kept cheating

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 46: This Traitor is betraying us!. Gianna pushed open the door and tried not to ask too frantically, “What is going on here?”.Angelo and Enzo were on opposite sides of the room, with Victoria between them like a mediator of sorts. She certainly had a small can of pepper spray in one hand, and a crackling taser in the other. She looked incredibly intimidating.Enzo, with some swelling to his forehead like he’d taken a knock to his head, turned to Gianna, pointed at Angelo and said, “This bastard is betraying us!”.Angelo shouted back immediately, “Don’t you dare call me a bastard!”.Gianna looked between them, gob smacked. “You’re doctors,” She told them, incredibly disappointed. “You are doctors and you’re supposed to be symbols of something better than this. How can you behave like this? How can you call each other names, fight with each other, and scare our patients?”“It’s because of him!” Enzo shouted in a heated way. “Angelo is a traitor and

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 47: what about your father? .Simply, Gianna said, “You’re leaving.”Angelo didn’t say anything. He didn’t have to.“So now we’re down a doctor!” Enzo said, a furious look on his face. “We’re down a doctor as our patient numbers keep rising. And it’s not because he’s having an emergency of some kind, or because the situation is out of his control, no, we’re down a doctor because he’s leaving us for something better.”The disappointment was welling up so much in Gianna’s chest it was nearly overwhelming. “This clinic needs you.”“I know,” Angelo said, looking truly sorry. “I know it does, and I’m sorry to go. But this is my dream, Gianna This has always been my dream, and I thought you understood that if I ever got a shot at my dream, I would have to go for it. I’m not doing this to screw the clinic over. I’m doing it because this is what I’ve dreamed about at night since I declared my focus to be in ortho.”Enzo accused, “And we’re not supposed to t

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 48: We do what it takes.“Speaking of,” Enzo reminded, “what can we do about your dad? Gianna? We have to block him from trying to kill our funding because he’s pissed about your brother.”Gianna swore, “I’m working on it. I won’t let him take our funding, no matter what he threatens. He doesn’t represent the whole of the Sangrid government, no matter who he knows. I won’t let him get away with this.”“But what if he does?” Enzo posed.“Then we go into funding overdrive,” Victoria proposed. “We get anyone and everyone to sponsor us. We have fundraisers, we appeal for research grants, take private donations, and whatever else we have to. We do what it takes to keep this place open.”“Got it,” Enzo said. “And that’s something we have to get the other nurses and receptionists in on. This has to be a group effort.”Angelo asked, “What about trying to get some of the neighborhood businesses to kick in a little? Everyone is strapped for money here, but if

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 49: He always deserved better.. The middle of October meant that it was not only gloomy and overcast outside, but also cold and windy. For Gianna, who had a defective heart thatl rarely pumped blood effectively enough to fight off a constant feeling of coldness, the winter months were her least favorite.But stepping into the flower shop, the heat and humidity hitting her in the face all at once, Gianna could breathe deeply and enjoy clinging to a little artificial summer.“Hi,” the girl at the front registered called out when she saw her, bowing and welcoming her to the shop.“Are you serious?” Rio snorted from behind Gianna. “I can’t believe I’m spending my Saturday at a flower shop.”Gianna ignored him and made her way directly to the girl’s side, taking in the explosion of color around her and the fragrant smells. Gianna was especially fond of flower shops. And she certainly visited them enough over the years.“You have a very beautiful shop,”
