Realistic or Modern South Side Rivalry

[decadent-rider]

He just nodded a little and lay back gently tugging on her to lay with him, “I love you.” He mumbled tiredly, passing out once she was sat next to him. ‘As long as he isn’t feeling nauseous or dizzy then we would like him to start walking a little once he wakes up.’ His nurse told her leaving them to privacy.

Carmen frowned some and said nothing else just holding onto him tighter until she heard the doorbell going meaning Ricky was there ready to take clay to the office. “Am I coming win you again today?”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Clayton nodded kissing her temple gently "Yeah unless you want Ricky to stay here with you." he murmured softly to her. He didn't let her out of his sight most of the time and if he did she was only ever with Ricky.

Lilith nodded softly and kissed his cheek gently "I love you too babe." she whispered and layed with him until he woke up a few hours later "How are you feeling?" she asked quietly

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded and went to get her things together to take with her, getting her shoes and jacket before leaving the house with him and letting him take her down to the car.

Pedro smiled over at her. “Just peachy. I’m ready to go home.” He told her quietly going to sit up to try and get out of there but frowned when she pushed him back. “Hey I’m find let’s get home.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Clayton got to the office and sighed heavily "Alright let me know if you need anything." He said quietly before he got down to business

Lilith frowned pushing him to sit back shaking her head some "No you are going to stay here and rest Pedro. You can't keep pushing yourself." She said seriously giving him a glare

 

[decadent-rider]

He grumbled a little but he knew better than to argue with her, pulling her in as close as he could. “You mean everything to me you know that?” He murmured softly to her, “you should go home and freshen up. Come back with a couple books or something?” He murmured reaching for the cigarette packet on the side and lighting one up.

Carmen frowned some watching him go away and just leaned back on the couch pulling a book out to pass the time, frowning at some of the noises she could hear coming from the other room but she knew better than to go take a look.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith nodded some and frowned taking the cigarettes from him "Nuh uh, you're hurting bad enough, you don't need this going in your lungs when you can barely breath." She said seriously to him before she went out to Ben so she could go home real quick

Clayton frowned some as he cleched his hand shaking away the pain before he punched the man again "Now Randy I like you, you're a good man but you owe me money and I'm gonna need you to pay it back." He growled

 

[decadent-rider]

Pedro frowned and cussed under his breath just watching her go just sighing heavily and rubbing a hand over his face. While she was gone he spent most of the time annoying his nurses that popped in and out of the ward, pissing one off enough that she gave him a fresh pack of cigarettes and a lighter just to shut him up but by the time max got back he had gotten out of bed and was wandering around trying to persuade each and every nurse he ran into to work it so he could leave and go home, insisting to all of them that he was absolutely fine and he didn’t need to be there anymore.

Carmen frowned listening to them some before moving out to one of the quieter offices to try and get some peace.

Randy glared at him, spitting out the blood all over the rug and said nothing for a minute. “You know I don’t have the money. I told you. I got robbed. They took your product off me I didn’t have any product to sell to pay you back with.” He muttered.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith came in and frowned seeing Pedro up and harrassing a nurse to let him out. She glared and made her way over to him "Pedro! Leave this poor woman alone and get back to your damn room!" She spat shooing him off and taking him to his room "You better be nice to these women Pedro, you aren't ready to come home yet." She said softly to him pushing some hair from his face "Stop harassing them okay?" She said sweetly "Maybe you'll get a treat if you're good."

Clayton frowned some shaking his head a bit "And who the fuck would be stupid enough to steal from me eh?" He spat glaring at the man ready to start hitting him again

 

[decadent-rider]

Randy frowned shaking his head. “I don’t know. Didn’t recognise them. Clayton I swear.” He muttered. “I’ve never done you wring and I’m not about to start now!” He spat at him. “Probably the same men who managed to take your wife and pass her around like a bottle.” He muttered frowning when he saw the expression change on Claus face.

Pedro grunted and leaned on her a little for support. “I’m fine I’m fine.” He promised as she pushed him back onto the bed, reaching for the cigarettes and lighting one, lifting his arm up to be out of her reach. “Woman you take one more goddamn thing off me and I’m gonna lose my fuckin temper.” He snapped this time. Part of the reason he hadn’t gotten help in the first place was he hated being forced to rest. He wasn’t a layabout person.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Clay's face fell into a deadly stare watching him "Do not fucking bring my wife into this." He spat starting in on him but he was soon pulled off by Ricky 'Clay stop! We need him man, he business is good.' He heard him say as he was pulled away. He took a deep breath and nodded some kicking Randy's face to wake him up "You find out who stole my shit and bring it to me...and you EVER bring my wife up again I will make sure they never find your body."

Lilith glared at him a bit and shook her head some "Fine you don't want our help the. don't take it." She spat going to the door "If you need me then call Ben, I'll be at the office." She said before leaving the room wanting to get away from him before they got into a fight

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen frowned when she felt someone shaking her awake and jumped a little seeing Claus face by hers, pulling him to sit with her. “Hey, I fall asleep?” She mumbled and smiled but it fell when she saw his knuckles all torn and bleeding. “Let me clean those up.@ she murmured gently. “Everything okay?”

He frowned and sighed heavily, shaking his head and watching her go, too damn stubborn to apologise.

Ben frowned as she cane straight back out and he took her to the office as requested, knowing better than to give his two cents. “I’m gonna have Oscar with him. Keep him safe...” he trailed off when he heard a child screaming and crying, walking into the main office to find three of the men standing there with a small baby in Danny’s arms. “What the hell is fhis? Why is there a child here?!”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith went wide eyed seeing the child in their arms and quickly took it from them bouncing it lightly "Shhh shhh its okay." She whispered looking at Ben confused about all of this "Ben who's baby is this?" She asked softly looking back at Danny

Clayton frowned and nodded softly letting her clean him up when he gave her the stuff "Someone stole from us....I need to find out who." He muttered

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded slowly and wrapped them up gently not saying much for now just letting him think until she was done and she pulled him in close as she could. “Mmm ... why don’t we go get some dinner tonight? ... get your mind off things.” She suggested gently rubbing his chest in soothing circles.

Ben frowned as they all looked at the ground sheepishly. “Well?” His head snapped up when he heard Danny answer first. ‘Michelle’s.... we know Pedro wanted to take her out himself but.. it was an accident, she stepped out in front of the car... baby was okay but she didn’t make it.’ Ben just nodded and sighed heavily. “Alright. Better take the kid down to the orphanage then.” He muttered going to take him out of Liliths arms, frowning when she stepped away from him.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Clayton gave a nod and gave her a tired smile "Yeah I like the sound of that." He murmured kissing her cheek gently before he stood up and took her hand to leave

Lilith frowned more when she heard who's it was and stared down at the now sleeping child in her arms feeling her heart swell. She looked at Ben in shock and stepped away from him when he mentioned an orphanage shaking her head some "No, I'll take care of him." She said softly

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen smiled and held onto him tightly “you’ve been working too much and I’ve been too busy locking myself away to pay attention to my husband... that ends tonight.” She murmured to him and kissed him softly with a smile as they got out to his car, moving around to the other side to get in when they heard screeching tires and a series of loud bangs along with shattering glass before the unmarked car took off again. Carmen frowned leaning heavily on the vehicle before leaving a trail of red as she slid down to sit on the ground. “Clay...” she grunted a little and watched a little panicked as the red sticky liquid began to pool around her.

Ben sucked in a breath and just chewed on his lip shaking his head. “I’m not telling him. You can tell him that you want to keep it.... it’s his ex wife’s kid... I doubt that’s the kind of kid he wants.” He muttered to her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Clayton went wide eyed as he felt the crash happen quickly getting out since his side wasnt hit and rushed to Carmen. He frowned and quickly took off his jacket pressing it to her wound "Someone call 911! Get an ambulance!!" He yelled looking at her with scared eyes "Don't you dare close those beautiful eyes Carmen...don't do it."

Lilith frowned glaring at Ben a bit "I will handle it." She muttered before she went off to sit down keeping the boy close to her smiling softly. She knew Pedro would be pissed off but she figured she would be able to sway him

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen whimpered at him a little and tried to grip at his shirt as much as she could but there wasn’t any strength in it. “Clay.” She groaned a little moving her hand away from the second wound where she had clearly been shot just swallowing a little and starting to pass out. “Mmm... love you.” She mumbled frowning as she felt him slapping her face gently. “I wanna.. go home.” She mumbled just glancing up at him again. “Oh.. oh look... I’m bleeding.” She mumbled and looked back up at him.

Ben sighed heavily but nodded and went to go organise the men for now until he went back to Lilith. “You need me to go get anything for him?” He asked her quietly.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith gave a small nod "Yeah baby wipes, diapers, a bottle and formula." She said softly not able to take her eyes off the little boy in her arms "Did you know his name?" She asked softly

Clayton saw the second wound and took off his shirt pressing it to her some "Carmen? No baby look at me." He said slapping her gently and then putting pressure back to her wounds "Someone fucking help!" He screamed before he heard the ambulance sirens coming towards them

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen frowned a little,, trying to reaxh up to him but it hurt too much just watching as his shirt was soaked through after just a minute. “I wanna go home.... clay it’s cold, I’m freezing.” She whimpered and just started blacking out again frowning when she heard more voices and still heard clay sounding panicked, managing to open her eyes again and reached over grabbing at his hand, staring him dead in the eye for what felt like hours but was really only several seconds before she let out one more shaky breath and went limp, her eyes glaring over.

Ben shook his head and sighed heavily watching her. “Let me go with you to tell him... he won’t appreciate you knowing about Michelle before him.” He muttered.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Clayton stayed with her the entire time shaking his head as he saw the paramedics "Save her!" He said panicked before he looked at Carmen feeling her go limp in his eyes "Hurry damn it!!"

Lilith gave a small nod giving a small sigh "Were you planning on taking her out? Even when you knew she had a child?" She asked calmly looking over at him

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned and looked at her. “I follow pedros orders. That’s my job. Yes. Pedro had a hit out on her but he wanted her brought in alive so he could do it himself. Only you didn’t hear that from me.” He muttered

They looked between them but after a quick assessment it was clear that there was nothing they could do. “Sir, shes gone... she’s lost too much blood and she has no pulse... she would never make it to the hospital... there’s nothing we can do. The gunshot wound went through an artery.” One explained to Clayton before they stood to the side and let him be with her for another minute or so.

Ricky was the first one out after sorting Randy out and frowned seeing the commotion by Claus car, getting over there and staring at the scene in front of him in shock. “Shit. Clay what happened?” He asked but it was clear clay wasn’t paying him any attention.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Lilith gave a heavy sigh but nodded softly "Of course." She whispered following him out to the hospital. As she walked into Pedro's room she bit her lip hard "Hey...." she said softly

Clayton frowned shaking his head some "No! No you save her!" He yelled looking down at Carmen and let a few tears fall as he looked down at her keeping her close to him "Carmen....baby please don't leave me...I can't do this without you..." he whispered not even noticing Ricky had come out

 

[decadent-rider]

Ricky frowned getting over to him and swallowed frowning at the scene in front of him. “Clay you gotta let her down come on. Let’s get you inside.” He muttered frowning even more when clay was like putty in his hands and wasn’t even putting up a fight, lifting his best friend up and guiding him back towards the building while the medics sorted out transporting her. “Let’s get you a drink buddy.” He muttered needing to go make the calls so he left Clay sitting in his office while Ricky called her parents first and then most of their own people, leaving it up to her parents to tell Pedro.

He was sat up in bed frowning at her and putting out a cigarette. “Come sit down.... where’d you get a baby from?” He asked her. “Your parents have just been on the phone to me... Lilith come sit down love.” He murmured being extra gentle this time and pat the space next to him.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Clay let go of her as Ricky pulled him away not even fighting it at all. He sat inside with Ricky staring straight ahead not saying a word feeling completely broken right now.

Lilith frowned some and went to sit with him placing the baby between her legs and cuddling him some "I'll tell you in a minute, what did my parents need?" She asked softly confused as to why they would call him

 

[decadent-rider]

Once he finished he pulled a couple glasses out and poured whiskey. “What happened?” He asked him, passing him a glass.

Pedro frowned and shook his head. “There was an incident.... a drive by over at Clays office.... your sister was hit and shot... she didn’t make it. It’s just happened like an hour ago.” He told her slowly and gently.
