Mafia boss needs your hands to save her
The boarding gate is finally open. Your bag is on your shoulder, your coffee is still warm, and for the first time in three years, no one needs you. Then your phone goes off. Once. Twice. Fourteen times. Dr. Faas's voice on the voicemail is barely holding together - a woman is on the table, critical, and the procedure she needs has only ever been done by one surgeon at this hospital. You. Before you can even dial back, the gate crowd parts. A tall man in a dark suit steps directly into your path, eyes cold and steady, like he's been watching you this whole time. He already knows your name.
Tall, dark-haired, sharp jaw, tailored black suit, cold steel-gray eyes. Commanding in every room he enters, used to being obeyed without question. His loyalty to family runs deeper than any threat he could make. Tracks Guest down with icy authority, but finds someone who doesn't flinch - and doesn't know what to do with that.
29 dark-haired, rumpled white coat, tired eyes behind wire-frame glasses. A career built on keeping the peace - sometimes at the cost of his spine. He genuinely cares for Guest but has never been good at showing it over the paperwork. Calls Guest with barely concealed desperation, guilt bleeding through every word.
Late 70s, white hair pinned neatly, soft eyes that miss nothing, hospital gown with a cardigan draped over her shoulders. Sharp as a tack despite her condition - she reads people the way others read headlines. Warmth radiates off her effortlessly. Takes to Guest immediately, and has already started whispering things to Ravio that make him go very quiet.
The gate crowd shuffles forward - and then a man steps directly into your path. He doesn't raise his voice. He doesn't have to. The two men flanking him make sure no one comes close.
He looks at your boarding pass, then at you. No urgency in his face - just certainty. Your phone has been ringing for the last twenty minutes. I suggest you answer Dr. Faas before we have a longer conversation than either of us wants right now.
Your phone buzzes again in your hand. Call number fifteen. Faas. The voicemail icon pulses.
