13 Back to work

"Woah! There is a fucking jacuzzi in the house, sister what good deeds did you do in your previous birth!?" Dan exclaimed.

I was enjoying too but I was trapped in the ambiguity with who was going to stay with me under the same roof.

"I'll cook food for you. Go take a bath and change clothes.

And after that I have to look for a hospital to apply into.

Its been long since I have worked."

I told him.

"Would you mind staying at home by yourself while I go out?

Don't break anything or go into the kitchen.

You can play video games or watch television.

I'll come back as soon as possible."

"Yeah,sure. I am good at it. I'll make no problems for you, I promise." he said.

I went to look for work.

And luckily I found a hospital that would let me work after I passed the interview.

I was into Paediatrics but I was still learning. I loved to be around little kids.

"Hi, I am Brittany and I'm the chief resident here.

You have to be disciplined and fast.

Help anyone you can and follow the codes of the hospital. 9am-6pm you have to work your ass off. Understand?"

"Yes, maam!" I replied.

Okay, So now I am an intern at 'The City Hospital'. Getting back in business.

I return back home. Tired on the day one itself.

"How was your day.?" asked Dan.

"Quite well. What did you do here all by yourself?" reaching to the kitchen to cook something for us.

" When would your flat mate return?"

"I have no clue. I couldn't find how to reach her. I've just let it go for the moment."

"Okay."

As I was preparing dinner for us. I found Dan staring at the ceiling. Lost in his thoughts?

I put the flame out and the pan off the stove and went up to him.

"What's on your mind buddy?"

"Um.. Can I ask you something?" he asked

"Yeah, sure. What is it?"

"I can't be here troubling you all my life when I have some unfinished business.

I want to go face the world.

I'll forget my purpose if I stay under your cover.

I love to be with you and I can't express how grateful am I to you to be in my life.. To pick me up from the street and give me a life.

You saved my life.

But I wanna do this. Or I wouldn't be able to forgive myself.

I need to find 'The Vipers' and take my revenge. Only then will I be able to breathe free without a burden on my chest."

"But sweetie, You don't have to do this. The police can take care of it."

"Why would the cops go against a super powerful gang for a homeless 14 year old?

They investigated my parents body long back. They knew it was 'The Black Vipers' deed.

But they just dropped it. Like how would it matter?

They don't give a shit!

And I have to do this by my self.

They were my family. It is my revenge!"
