Distracted dreams faded, by the shock hit Thomas and woke him up. he had heard a loud noise, a bullet ? he tried to stand up but realized he is bound to his bed in the hospital. he cant move as the pain dominates his veins and spreads the whole body... he tried to reach his Revolver which was under his bed, but it wasn't there. now he knew whats going on. a paid nurse should have taken it, and now he must have guests!

he waited, and the room's door began to open...

three men entered, gently, two of them waited by the door and the third one was slowly getting close. Thomas couldn't see his face properly due to his injuries, but after a few seconds, he saw the face... he was Accardo. the Italian gangster whom was their contact on buying the Pioneer Square building. " remember me Mr.Shelby? " Accardo asked with a wide smile on his face. "i have heard you can't walk MR.shelby... i bought you a walking-stick, haha, ill lean it near that door, for the moment you could walk and grab it." then he took out a cigarette case, grabbed a cigar and put in in Thomas mouth, "you smoke? hmm?" then he lit his cigar with his lighter, then threw the lighter on the table near the bed. Thomas kept looking at him.

"as you see, Mr.Shelby, things had changed, look around. but we still have our agreement right? i just gave the keys to your brother last night" he breathout the smoke, then came closer "we are watching you..." he walked around the bed slowly, took a bottle of gin from his comrade and put in on the table, "the plan was killing you, as you see, Mr.shelby, it's easy... but we saw that we can use you. we liked the plan B instead"

then he began to walk to the door, he stoped there and turned face once more " don't let us down" after that he pointed at Lighter and the bottle "help your self !" then left the room... Thomas took out the cigarette away from his lips, tried to sit, and it was at that moment he heard a woman's scream. she must have seen his dead bodyguard...

Lisa arrived in Seattle from Las Vegas, as she walk towards Pioneer Square hospital to pay for a visit. Lisa heard sudden loud noise 20 meter away from her sight in front of the hospital, BANG! Followed by a few woman screaming and old folks running away from the area for safety. From afar one man calmly enter the car followed by two other man furiously with smoking gun on their hand. The car with an unknown people in it approach Lisa and pass by her, heading out from the hospital area. "They looks like the italian".... Lisa rushes to the man who was shot and wounded.

Lisa scan around to make sure the area is well secure from other people who dress like a mafia, she knew this is all about mafian matter.. while her eye notice that the hospital front door where near the wounded bodyguard is widely open. The smell of cigar, whiskey and smoking gun is very strong coming from inside. Lisa grab the bodyguard full loaded gun and step in into the quiet section of the hospital and call out, perhaps looking for other victim that she can help.

While pointing the gun forward, Lisa shout "Hello! Mister! Ma'am! Anyone in there?..The nurse with her panic face replies "Its upstairs, they come from upstairs". Lisa say to the nurse, "There is injured man outside, he was gunned down, go help him" .. Slowly Lisa step to the second floor and check the empty hall way, it is a dangerous move that she attempt to do but her intention is to help the victim. She can start to hear crowd noise outside surrounding the dead bodyguard.   

A few minutes later, the scene inside the hospital calm down. One nurse after another slowly come out. Lisa stop by the room where the smell of the cigar and whiskey that she recognize from outside. There is a man lying on the bed and sweating, from his face looks panic. Lisa ask "What happen mister? You need medical attention? i can call nurse for you." 

Thomas was trying to stand up, by any means necessary. He couldn't make a stable position for his body to remain vertical. We was strugling and suddenly a girl's voice fill the room:

"What happen mister? You need medical attention? i can call nurse for you..."

he turned his face so fast, like he was waiting for something, remained silent for few seconds... " are you a cop? "...Thomas saw the wonder in Lisa's face. He guessed she must be one of the nurses that might finished her shift. He could recognize the gun in her hands though, it was his bodyguard's. " you must help me get out... gimme that Walking-stick over there, and leave..."

He tried to move a bit more on the bed... and was trying to put his coat on which was right there on the table, to get out as fast as possible

Lisa remain still with her gun aiming at the hall way outside the room, when he saw Thomas trying to get on his two feet and reach for the Walking-stick but he couldn't. 

"Are you a cop?" Thomas ask.
"No" Lisa replied short. 
"you must help me get out... gimme that Walking-stick over there, and leave..." said Thomas. 
"Ok, here your coat. Where are we heading?" Lisa ask.
"Just walk a little bit to the back entrance of the hospital and i'll show you"

Lisa hide the gun in her pouch, and supporting Thomas arm while he walking and heading towards the back entrance..

they walked the hallways, as fast as they could. Thomas wasn't in a good condition to walk or leave the hospital but it was essential to leave the place. he was trying with the walking-stick and the help of Lisa.

as they opened the door of back entrance, they found themselves in the hospital's back alley. the homeless lads didn't event asked for a coin as they saw Thomas and Lisa's condition. despite the hurry they were in, Lisa tossed a coin for them while they were walking toward the street.

the moment they reached the sidewalk, Arthur arrived and stopped the car right in front of them, " i saw an italian group at the front door... come on" ... he helped Thomas to get in.and then, Thomas turned face to Lisa, handed her 10 Pound, "this is for your trouble, and you didn't see a thing"

they left the area, and Lisa watched them fading away...
