Between Guns and Roses

Longing

Pablo was visibly upset in his room, occasionally he was seen banging on tables and rampaging uncontrollably. He felt angry, sad, and angry. His emotions mixed into disrepute when he heard his mainstay men killed in the mission.

"Baaajiiiingaaaaaaaannnn!!!" Shouted Pablo as he threw a chair at the wall until it was destroyed.

"How dare Pedro and Fernando's son bother me! Aaaaaaarrrggghhhh!!!" He cursed and shouted incoherently.

While his men watched from afar, they dared not approach for fear of being targeted by Pablo the boss.

"You!" Pablo pointed at one of his men.

"And all of you!"

"Gather members! I have a job for you!" Pablo said firmly.

They all immediately disbanded and contacted the other members to gather at the gathering place.

Meanwhile...

Anna was still lying on the bed of one of the association's clinic rooms. Besides a lot of very sophisticated medical equipment, even exceeding the sophistication of government equipment. This is because the members of the association are required to recover faster considering the number of missions they have to complete.

Another case with Antonio, even though he is fresh fit still he must come to rest. Because he could not carry out the mission without his partner who now still has not seen any signs of consciousness.

Antonio is still faithful to keep Anna in the patient room, although occasionally he also has to go out just to relieve boredom and look for fresh air.

"How's Doc doing?" Antonio asked a doctor who had just examined Anna.

"Hmm," the doctor sighed.

"His condition has improved, maybe in a few days he will wake up" he replied.

"We have provided special equipment, hopefully it will have a positive impact" added the doctor.

"Thank you doc" said Antonio.

The doctor nodded and left the two of them.

"Anna, I'm sorry!" antonio said as he clasped Anna's palm.

The beautiful face of Anna, the face that always adorns her days, the face that is always cheerful when together, also a face that can be scary when facing the enemy.

"Conscious! I beg you," Antonio said softly, then kissed Anna's right hand and pressed it against her cheek.

He did not understand why his feelings became so comfortable and serene when he was with the woman. His work has made him not understand what comfort, peace, tranquility, and happiness are. All he knew was pain, sacrifice, fear, and all that referred to cruelty.

Suddenly his phone vibrated at the sign of an incoming call, he grabbed it and headed to the corner of the room to receive the call.

"Hello Pedro!" said it.

"Hi Antonio!" pedro said across the phone.

"How's Anna doing?" Pedro asked.

"So, he hasn't kissed yet. The doctor said maybe in a few days he will be conscious" replied Antonio.

"Hmm, like that?" Pedro mutters.

"All right, I'll be right there. There's something I want to talk about," he added.

"okay!" Antonio replied briefly.

He then turned off his call and returned to the seat beside Anna. Antonio looked back at the woman's face fixedly, slowly moving his hand gently rubbing Anna's short hair.

"Wake up! Missed you!" he said softly with trembling lips, then he kissed the woman's forehead slowly. After that he got up and went out to the lobby to wait for Pedro's arrival.

The atmosphere in the clinic was not as crowded as hospitals or clinics in general, the clinic owned by the association seemed quiet. Because in addition to only devoted to members, inside also there are no patients treated other than Anna.

No doctor or nurse came back and forth carrying equipment or just walking, because they all had other activities outside the association. But at the moment when something was an emergency, they quickly gathered together and dealt with it. In the clinic there is only a guard doctor who is always standby in his office.

Before long a car walked into the clinic area and stopped in the parking lot. Pedro got out of the car and walked towards Antonio, who was sitting in the lobby seat.

"Hmm" Antonio muttered, not answering Pedro's words.

"Hahaha, you're worried about that woman. Women are strange, can make people cruel to you become indifferent," said Pedro while laughing mockingly.

"Just arrived looking for trouble, huh?" Antonio stared hard.

"Hahahahaha," Pedro just laughed hearing that.

"A lion remains even though he is sad" he said, sitting near Antonio.

"Did you bring your formula?" slowly tanyanya.

"Yes," Antonio answered briefly.

"Have you given him your formula?" search Pedro.

"I know your father's formula can quickly regenerate damaged cells" Pedro explained.

"You know that?" Antonio asked curiously.

"Yes, your father tried it when I was injured and treated at the clinic" Pedro told me.

"I almost died on a mission with your father in Mexico, but when I was treated at the clinic he injected me with the formula. And without my guessing, I'm healing faster" he explained.

"Hmm," Antonio sighed.

"For Anna was simply drained of blood, no vital organs were damaged. Maybe the healing was faster than I had before" Pedro added.

"So he was lying down for two days, but there was no sign of awakening. The doctor just said a few more days, I don't know. Hmm," Antonio said softly as he lowered his head and rubbed his face.

"Maybe it's good to follow your advice" he said flatly.

"Be careful! Don't let them know you're using that formula. Because they all want that, including the medics here" Pedro reminded.

"If they find out, you might be their target" he said with great emphasis.

"Alright, we try now" said Antonio enthusiastically.

He felt he got a breath of fresh air after receiving advice from Pedro, feeling impatient to try it immediately. He wanted to see the woman who had stirred his heart healthy again. He misses everything about Anna.

Antonio and Pedro headed to Anna's room. Antonio prepares all the necessary materials, while Pedro just sits guarding Anna.

"I'll take care of Anna, do it in the toilet so no one knows" Pedro said.

Antonio complied, he rushed into the bathroom. There he did his job, dissolving the formula he had previously packed and put it into a syringe.

It did not take long for him, for a moment he had come out with an injection filled with red liquid.

"All right, I'll try it" said Antonio as he walked towards Anna.

"Injection through this hose," Pedro said while pointing at the infusion hose attached to Anna's hand.

Antonio directly punched the needle into the hose that Pedro pointed and injected the contents until it ran out. After it was completely finished he plucked and threw away the syringe.

Not long before Anna's body was seen convulsing, her heart rate recording device moved quickly sign of her heartbeat tightening.

"What's going on?" Antonio's restless.

"Hey! What's up with you? You're not what you used to be. Be calm! It was just the effect of the formula" said Pedro, who was surprised by Antonio's attitude which was different from usual.

Antonio did not answer, he just stared at Anna's body with a feeling of anxiety and anxiety. But his anxiety began to disappear when he saw the woman's body returned to normal like a person who was asleep.

But again he was shocked when he saw a small movement of Anna's fingers. The smile began to slowly expand from Antonio's lips.
