At the city's hospital, Julius was seating on a chair inside a patient room. The patient being Demetrius. The one that had been tortured by Claude. The results were, about three broken ribs and slight trauma to the head.
After Claude went to the parking lot to try and fight Julius, he had knocked Demetrius unconscious, that was when he got the trauma to the head.
Julius was just about to leave the parking lot on that day when he remembered Demetrius was supposed to erase the traces from their connection's computer, as well as the security camera videos. When Julius found Demetrius, the latter was sleeping, and when he woke up, pain was all over his face.
Julius still remembers the cries of pain that Demetrius let out until they got to the hospital on that flashy golden-orange car. Julius would swear that he never had met someone so soft in his life, Julius himself had broken all of his right side ribs once, he didn't cry then.
When Demetrius heard this story, he looked at Julius dumbfoundedly, not knowing if he was being trolled or Julius was just mental.
Right now, Demetrius laid on the bed, covered by the hospital's bedsheets as he looked around, although hardly, as half of his body was in pain and immobilized by some medical equipment to avoid the rupture of stitches after the surgery or his broken ribs to move.
After Julius brought Demetrius to the hospital, the doctors required surgery because there were several broken ribs, plus one was underneath the shoulder blade, creating some complications to recover the movement.
The same doctors were beyond shocked as Demetrius spent so much time to arrive at the hospital and was still alive then, after such injuries.
Seeing Julius opposite his bed, seating with one leg crossed while using his phone, Demetrius marveled at the character.
Julius most of the time was serious, he had this aura about him, like a leader under pressure, it's like he is always thinking something. Though exteriorly, Julius wore casual clothes, if you take the times when he is working, then you would be thinking of him as a university student. He usually wore these types of clothes, like right now, he wears a light blue jacket, red shirt underneath and jeans pants, also a pair of basketball shoes.
They were both black, and coming difficult places in the hood, Demetrius still felt that Julius hadn't this type of life, he just knows how to be himself, Demetrius wouldn't know really, most kids where he grew up rather do drugs and be like the rest of the family, be part of the gangs and such.
That's why when Demetrius went to the army he had a hard time, trying to be like the other kids in his neighborhood, he was caught stealing, the judge said six-months in the army or a year in jail. His mama made him go to the army, trying to put something inside his brain, maybe if he could find a new passion there, he could get out of that life. The instructors tore his as$ apart keeping him disciplined, and not being so willful, he obeyed.
After the six-months, Demetrius was out and changed. Well, slightly changed.
He still had a weak mind, that's why when he got back to the neighborhood to meet his family, the local gang found him. They were like a branch of the Bad Angels, so seeing what was up with Demetrius, he was told to do some business if not, his family was on the scope.
Growing faster than his associates, he climbed into the tree, becoming a Bad Angel. Again, he rapidly climbed and that's when he met Julius.
Although he is weak-minded, his training in the army was useful, training with discipline made him a goodish soldier at following orders, so he completed most of his tasks successfully.
Demetrius had found himself in these years, all he managed to do was survive, not knowing what to become.
At this moment, Julius noticed Demetrius looking at him. He looked at the man laying on the bed and smirked.
"Damn, bruh. Finally awake, it's been like two days since you slept." Julius said.
Demetrius seemed to think for a few moments and answered.
"Did you wait for me this whole time?" Demetrius spoke, as he doubted his family would do the same, they cut ties a while after Demetrius became a Bad Angel.
"Hell, no. I just arrived here. I came to say that your services are no longer need. I talked to Bad Angel, our contract is over. I told them that my objective has been completed, which won't take long to actually be. So you don't have to meet me anymore." Julius replied with a calm face, simply telling Demetrius.
Demetrius had a bad feeling inside. He knows that Julius' contract is quite big, his responsibility was to keep him until the end, if he could form a new one, that was a bonus. The problem is that Demetrius somehow will be responsible for it ending earlier.
But he frowned again.
"Did you come here just to tell me this? Why not let the gang do it?" Demetrius asked, his expression solemn.
"No, I came to ask a question, actually. Did you noticed anything weird on the guy that interrogated you?" Julius asked with the same relaxed face.
Meanwhile, the turmoil inside Demetrius' mind was still running. He thought about the many things he did in life. One more time he has been discarded, or better yet, he put himself in that position again. No one cares about him, that much he admitted now, because that he already knew.
Not hearing his answer, Julius frowned slightly.
"You all right, dude?" Julius asked.
"Yeah, I'm cool." Demetrius looked absentminded at nowhere in particular.
"I didn't notice anything serious. Although he threw me on the wall with one punch and also broke my ribs with a fin..." Demetrius' voice trailed off as he had realized the absurdness of his situation.
"What the hell happened there?" Demetrius asked Julius, his voice loud, his look confused and he was starting to feel fear again.
"Calm down, don't shout. You didn't know about magicals? I thought you did..." Julius said, his voice trailed off as he was slightly surprised, he really thought Demetrius knew.
"No. What the fuuck is a magical?" He asked, this time he lowered his volume a little.
"Like the name, they have magic or are capable of it. The one that did this to you was a Vampire." Julius said pointing to Demetrius' ribs.
The latter had a blank look on his face.
