The Boogie Man: A Mafia tale

This Can't Be Real

After I finished up with my last morning patient, I literally ran to Kendrick’s side.

Looking for him, I came in contact with the skank.

“Why were you calling me patients? “

Fear in her eyes, she stuttered.

“Ladies, can we take this to my office.”

We followed Kendrick to his office, as soon as the door closed, I snapped.

“Why in the f**k would you all try to take my patients. Are you really that low down and dark. “

“Well, we didn't know..”

“I am not talking to you Christina! So, stay the f**k out of it.”

Kendrick know my wrath, it is rarely seen, but when it appears stay clear.

Kendrick nods for her to leave, and she storms out. The door is still knocking against the wall from her force.

Kendrick looks at me, clearly choosing his words wisely.

“Well, we was not sure that you your health would allow you to return. My name and reputation are on this clinic, and I could not risk your absence causing us bad business “

“Your name huh? Last time I checked, I brought in the patients when we first opened from working in the ER! But now all of it is just yours? You are a selfish, egotistical piece of s**t ‘Ken'”, using my best impression of his slutbucket.

“Look, it did not happen, so what is the big fuss about. You have more pressing issues to worry about like your little play toy.”

“What I do is none of your business!”

“I was not going to say anything, but we are no longer together so I can tell you the truth. Do you remember when I was mugged a few years back. “

“Yes, I was up for days with the kids because they had the flu. And I got the call to go to the ER. You were on the bed crying like a lil girl because they beat the dog shi….”

“Yes, that time. I did not tell you that I was leaving a girl’s house.” He pauses for my dramatics or break down, but I am not surprised. Honestly could.care.less.

“Anyway, one of the guys told me that if I was at home with family, then I would not be lying there toggling death. That guy looks like your boyfriend Beth!”

“You said they wore masks. Were you lying about that? “

“No, it is his f*****g eyes, I remember them because he made sure to look me in mine when he told me that maybe he should go give my wife that back rub. You begged me for one before I left. I am telling you, I do not want that creep around my kids.”

“Your kids! Last time I checked I took care of them while you were ‘working ‘. I am a grown ass woman, we are bit together, and you do not dictate my household.”

Kendrick took menacing steps towards me; my face has felt his anger before. But I always refuse to cower.

He is getting ready to grab my neck and I open for him.

“If you touch her, I swear you will never use that f*****g hand again. “

Nate is standing in the doorway with an expensive grey suit that pulled taut on his flexed biceps, his broad expanse of his shoulders, down to his narrow waist. His hands were in his pockets, legs shoulder width apart. If his jaw was not tight, you would think he was calm.

My mouth watered at the sight. Kendrick….yep he looks like a dear caught in headlights, he probably pissed on himself a little.

“Why are you in my building, this is none your business.”

Nate steps in the room and stands in front of Kendrick. “If she is involved, then it is my business. You do not have any say in her life, therefore you can basically consider your kids mine. Now Keandre, I have given you more than one warning about her; you do not get anymore. Elizabeth, we have lunch reservations, let’s go…Please”

Walking out I can still feel the anger rolling off him, he is silent on the drive there. He pulls over to get some gas, and I wait in the car trying to figure out how to break the ice. I am pulled out of my thoughts by a knock on my window; it is a young man.

“Hey ma’am, my friends and I were just wondering what kind of car this is.” The little punk behind him says, “f**k that man I am trying to see what kind of underwear she is sporting under that pencil skirt.” It must be the car that has given them courage to approach me. Now do not get me wrong, I am a bomb shell with my brown waist length hair, plump lips, hips, ass, and thighs. I just do not go the extra mile with the make up and getting my hair done.

Ignoring the boy’s ignorance, “I do not know, if you wait a moment the owner will be out in a second to answer your questions.” Before I can lock the door, he snatches my door open and pulls me out the car.

“Now, that is better. How can we talk with something between us?”

“You should not be doing this, if my friends comes back..”

He pulls out a blade and puts it to my neck, “Do you think we are concerned about your friend?” He moves the blade down my neck, to the top button of my shirt and pops it off. I knee him in the balls and take off running, his friend tries to grab me and elbow him in the chin. This gives one of the other two a chance to grab my waist, I take my heel and ram it into his shoe, but then I take a punch to my right jaw.

“You stupid Bitch.” I start laughing.

“You hit like a girl.” They kick me in the ribs, and I hear a crack. I thought it was my ribs breaking, until I see one of the guys laying next to me eyes wide and his neck in an odd angle. I look up and Nate, is beating the s**t out of the guys one.by.fucking.one. He has taken the blade from slasher, cut him in both of his arms before slicing his throat. He has gutted one and choked the last one to death.

I stare at him with fear, amazement, and arousal all at the same time. “I think I am going to be sick.” He is walking towards me, “Nope, do not f*****g take one step! I need a minute.”

Three vans pull up, ten men in white cover all suits jump out. “Hey boss, you need to go, we got this.” The man looks at me, “Hey Boss Lady, nice to meet you. Wish it was under better circumstances, but we got you.” He smiles, winks, and damn near skips away.

“Baby, we really need to go. I swear I will explain everything.” Nate is kneeling next to me, with his hand stretched to me. I must be in shock, because I take it and let him lead me to the car. I am so lost numb, and dumb struck, I honestly do not know what in the living John Wick just happened.
