light hearted planning

Heavy and dark

As cane regained consciousness, he couldn't help but notice the two weights that were holding him restrained to the bed

At first, he was extremely confused but as he remembered the previous hour's events he realized what was going on. After he had finished washing off Alice and Jasmin, he had been extremely tired thanks to a combination of physical fatigue and heavy painkillers

As he had carried Jasmin back to his hospital room/ward, which he had thankfully reserved for himself and himself alone, leaving a multitude of empty beds and space, he had attempted to simply drop her down on the bed parallel to the one he had already placed Alice in previously only for the girl to drag him with her

Apparently, she had somehow "fallen asleep" in the short time from him walking from the door to the bed which was less than ten meters away, and even though he could still feel her fingers digging into his hospital gown, could actively see the red hot blush on her face and the visible hot breaths exiting her mouth that only increased in volume the closer he got to the bed he had simply been too tired to bother fighting her. So, he had just collapsed with her onto the passed out, likely leaving her disappointed

But that was not his problem… at the moment

And as he woke up to the now dark room and felt the two weights clinging to him, he sighed and lifted the blanket, they were both awake and staring at him, Jasmin had curled herself around his arm, her breasts sandwiching his upper arm and her thighs holding his hand captive as her leg curled around him and pushed into Alice

It appeared that a small silent battle had undergone while he slept, one that Alice had lost as she was curled up around his waist, holding tightly around him as to not be kicked off by her new nemesis, her hair ruffled and one of Jasmin's feet placed firmly on her shoulder

Sighing and shaking his head as he saw the picture before him, he tried to get up but was only met with two pairs of hands taking his shoulders, holding him firmly in place as their owners crouched above him

"Do not move" Alice ordered, her voice unusually firm and eyes a cobalt blue "you're injured as is, we had to redo your bandages while you slept"

Jasmin nodded in agreement, which left Cane shook

Noticing his clear shock Jasmin gestured between Alice and herself "I have decided to allow the bitch to live until you are fully healed" she spoke imperiously as if leaving no room for argument "while I would love to rip her apart molecule by molecule, a fight between us could cause you damage… besides I need her for something"

"What?" Cane asked tilting his head, genuinely confused at the fact that she was willing to work with Alice

Surprisingly it was Alice who answered his question, her voice taking a tone that sent shivers down his spine "HUnTinG!"

Nodding Jasmin continued for her "We are going to find the person who did this to you" she answered matter o factly as if it were a complete guarantee "Could you please tell us what happened?" despite her gentle tone Cane could feel that he had no choice in the matter

And so he began to recount the events of the night, how he had gone to the bar with Leandro, which he could tell the girls didn't give a rats ass about, come back to his apartment while having a discussion with the overseer about the new schedule he would be taking, as to keep the girls "happy" and finally how he had come to his apartment, immediately collapsed onto the bed only to immediately hear gunfire and make his escape, taking a few hits along the way

It was at this point where Jasmin and Alice had gotten EXTREMELY pissed off, it had taken nearly an hour before Alice had stopped tearing the furniture and appliances apart WITH HER TEETH, and nearly as long before Jasmin stopped smiling and staring off into space, a smile that made gunfire seem friendly

Once they had calmed down, they went over specifics, what building had the shooter been on, what kind of gun, how long until he stopped shooting, and what the police had found on their own, which was jack of course

Even heroes had no interest in saving the mafia

Over the course of the night, thanks to mainly Jasmin they had a complete timeline of the events and Cane discovered that the girls had found out about his background a few days ago

When he asked how all they would say was "y-you said you had family problems, so I wanted to find out who to ki- I mean help" (Alice) and "does it matter?" (Jasmin) before returning to their works smiling all the while

Eventually, Cane, still under the effects of the painkillers had passed out again and didn't wake up until the next day, but instead of two girls all he found was two plushies, one a wolf and the other his blood-covered Wendigo alongside a note

MY Dearest Cane

The Cannibal freak and I have left for our "business" and will likely not see you until you return to work, so you better heal fast!... the catacombs count on it

Wish you good health

P.S

For some reason, after we redressed your wounds all the bloody bandages disappeared, wonder what could have happened

Sincerely Alice

Cane couldn't help but smile reading the note, now he nearly felt sorry for the bastard who shot him…

Just kidding!

He hoped it was slow and painful
