Ok… here I go…
I frown slightly, creating a thin long cut along the bruise, thin but deep. Instantly grabbing another towel
as blood begins seeping out.
I place the towel down and I use my fingers to push the skin apart, my eyes blazing as I try to find the
source that’s stopping him from healing. It doesn’t take long for me to see the little glittering pieces of
some kind of metal… and probably laced with poison.
I get to work removing them and soon I have forgotten about anything but the goal at the front of my
mind to get him fixed up. I adjust my position, tucking my knee and my leg under me as I focus on what
I’m doing.
After a while, I pause to wipe my sweaty forehead when my arm brushes his package, which has gone
down now, much to my disappointment.
Wow, he’s injured and you’re looking at his dick, way to go, girl.
I take a deep breath, feeling the familiar adrenaline rush that always takes hold of me when I’m
performing surgery.
Glancing up at him, his eyes are shut and I’m not sure if he’s even conscious. “Zade?” My heart skips a
beat when there is no response. “Come on my sexy Stallion… open your eyes…” I mutter but he’s
actually unconscious.
I look down again, focusing on what I’m doing, but I’m unable to pick out what’s left of the shattered
bullet or whatever was used on him. The pieces are far too deep. I need something small to pick those
out,
Fuck.
I need tweezers or something to use!
I’m going to have to go next door, even if it’s dangerous.
I’ll stay on alert.
Taking a deep breath, I place the towel over the incision I’ve made and grabbing a top of his I slowly
creep out of the room, I’m about to walk to the entrance when I hesitate. What if someone is waiting?
My stomach is filled with unease as I slowly walk towards the door. My hand is on the door handle
when I feel a powerful wave of unease. If he told me I shouldn’t…. I know I shouldn’t, but….
Glancing back to the bedroom door, I pick up Zade’s keys and
Out of his
apartment, my heart thumping. Come on Valerie, you are part of the Sublime. There is no human that
can hurt me.
Just get in, grab my emergency medical supplies and – Wait, aren’t they in my car?
My heart leaps with relief when I realise they are indeed in my car, and the best part is I have my keys
with me!
I leave the apartment, swiftly locking the door behind me. The bag of food still sits outside the door, and
I quietly make my way down the steps.
I’m halfway down when I realise I’m not alone, but without the chip… they won’t do anything, right?
I stay on edge as I make my way downstairs, but no one pops out and nothing happens.
Would alerting the police work? But my phone is dead.
What do I do?
Looking around, I realise it isn’t worth it. If they do a search, there’ll be things I would need to explain
and right now, I don’t want to. Zade isn’t well, and he is trying to keep a low profile. It wouldn’t be fair to
him.
Once outside, I make my way to the cars. Who knows, they might know which car is mine, or be
watching from the shadows.
Despite the unease that is growing within me, it’s a risk I’m going to take.
Unlocking the car, I grab the medical kit, shoving it into one of the bags I have in the trunk of my car
before I lock up and head back inside. I swiftly make my way upstairs. This time I don’t sense anyone
around the area.
Upon entering Zade’s apartment, I do a quick look around before locking the door and placing an
upturned basket in front of it and I place a few items on top of it too. If anyone tries entering, I’ll hear
them.
Hurrying to the bedroom, I get back to work, having to reopen the incision once again since it’s partially
healed, a sure sign that removing the poisonous
fragments has helped.
Thank the goddess!
Just a bit longer.
