Vince pulled up at a house Aurora didn’t recognize and she grit her teeth as Johnny carried her out of the car. Vince went first and opened the front door, heading down a long corridor. At the end, they turned into what looked like a surgery and a man she didn’t know was standing beside a hospital bed. Johnny sat her down and she dug her fingernails into his shoulders, pain shooting through her leg. As the stranger hovered over her, she asked where they were before launching into a fit of coughs.

‘You’re at my home in my private surgery. My name is Aiden, I’m the Hannam Family surgeon.’

She had expected Johnny to answer but instead he had stepped aside, letting Aiden take the lead. She hissed as he poured alcohol on her thigh, using wash cloths to clean the area while Vince hovered behind him, asking how bad her injuries were. Aiden picked up a syringe and spoke to her instead of her brothers.

‘You need stitches so I’m going to give you local anesthetic. It’s not as bad as I first thought but it’s going to scar. You’re going to feel pressure as I stitch the wound, let me know if I hurt you.’

Aiden gave her the injection then threaded his needle and started stitching. While he worked, Vince handed her a wet cloth so that she could wipe Marcus’s blood from her face and chest.

‘What the hell happened in there?’

Johnny was standing at the foot of the bed, waiting for an explanation.

‘Marcus was waiting for me in the bathrooms, I didn’t get the chance to grab my gun.’

Her voice was husky. Johnny wanted to know what Marcus had said. She didn’t want to get into a fight with him but she was covered in Marcus’s blood, had cuts down her back, and a surgeon was stitching up a carving in her thigh.

‘John, I’ll tell you everything you want to know but can we do it after Aiden finishes using me as a pincushion?’

Johnny wasn’t happy but he agreed to let Aiden finish. He continued stitching and she listened as her brothers discussed how Bo and Cross had gone to meet with Honor. They were interrupted when Aiden stopped mid-thread and called Johnny over. Johnny grabbed Vince so that they were both looking at her thigh from Aiden’s vantage point. She tried to get a better view but Vince flattened his hand on her stomach and stopped her. Just as she was about to ask what they were looking at, Johnny exploded and punched the wall. He stormed out of the room, Vince right behind him. After a few minutes, Vince walked back in, closed the door, and moved to stand beside her.

‘What did you see?’

‘Just wait until Aid is done.’

There was no point arguing, so instead she gave him the bloody wash cloth. Vince was about to give her another one when Aiden tied the end of the thread then cut it with surgical scissors. He then placed the needle into a metal bowl beside the syringe before taking off his plastic gloves.
