“When is she coming back?” Alex asks.

“Julius said the doc said they should be here by eleven. He wants Jessie to have her lunch waiting. You know she asked to fucking go back.”

Alex shrinks back in shock. “Back? To those fucking losers!”

I nod sharply.

We are doing our rounds. We walk the entire building, including the service areas and perimeter, every day. If it isn’t us, someone else on security duty does it.

“What are you going do?” Alex shrugs his shoulders. “She’s brainwashed.”

I seethe at Alex’s words. I don’t agree. I think she has no out so she stays. I see it in her eyes. She doesn’t have the same vacant look as the others. The Anointed Heavens have a flock of blank-eyed followers.

“What did your father say? Did he shit a brick when he found out we took her to the family floor?”

“No, surprisingly. He listened to her story, what happened, and told me to do whatever I have to.”

“Huh.” Alex pulls on a door, making sure it is locked. “Your father isn’t an asshole. He would understand why we did it.” Alex has a conscience and I trust him with my life. Others in this business have no scruples at all, no morals, and don’t give a shit about anyone but themselves.

“We could have taken her to a hospital,” I remind him, wondering why I didn’t. Why did I scoop her into my arms?

He shakes his head. “It was your call to take her to the doc and that is what we did. I don’t see anything wrong with it. I thought she was dead.”

I shudder. “So did I.”

“You did the right thing, Carlo, never doubt it.” Alex’s eyes level with mine and the unspoken bond between us resonates. His support is important to me.

The kitchen staff is running around and Jessie is screaming at everyone as we step inside the area. I don’t know how they stand it.

“Carlo!” She turns her steam on me and stomps toward me. “What the fuck happened to that girl the doc brought through here?”

“Somebody fucked her up.” My gaze shifts to Alex. What I was thinking goes unsaid between us. He knows I didn’t want to get into who I suspected did it or where she is from because with Jessie’s temper she’d be running outside with a butcher knife carving up people wearing blue, not just someone in a blue robe named Priest. She lets it go—unhappily.

“Alex!” Jessie then shouts, stabbing a piece of cake with a fork. “Taste this.” Jessie is still pissed at me from the other morning so I take her directly talking to Alex as a dismissal. That chick can hold a grudge. “Come here,” she calls to him. He steps closer to her. The fork is raised, ready and waiting for him. “I don’t let assholes taste my shit. But you, you’re nice to me.” Alex swipes the bite of some amazing-looking chocolate cake with his lips off the fork she offers. He nods and chews, his face registering that is it pure heaven.
