We were still laughing when we were wheeled into the room with Andrei. Everyone turned to look at us. Misha’s wide smile across this face. “Ivan, you’re the only one I know that would be laughing after coming out of that long of a surgery.”
He sat up farther and the nurse adjusted the bed to support him. “It’s not me. It’s her. She’s evil in the best way possible.”
Adrik looked at me sternly, his hands on his hips. “Persephone, what have you done now.” He cracked a smile, opening his arms for me. I hopped off the bed and went to him, laughing.
“I did nothing except save their lives. They should be thanking me.
Ivan laughed. “She’s not kidding there. I traumatized that one doctor, I’m sure of it. But then she showed up and started cracking jokes. Those two nurses in the recovery room didn’t know what to think.”
“It’s a gift,” I said, shrugging my shoulders. I walked to Andrei, who didn’t look too bad considering he was shot earlier. I leaned down and kissed his cheek. “How you doin’, Bubba?”
“I’ve had worse. This wasn’t so bad. They just had to dig the bullet out,” he said.
I made a motion like I was going to vomit. “It sounds so pleasant when you say it like that.”

He chuckled. “Don’t pu ke on the guy that got shot trying to run to save you.” He laughed, then added, “although it turns out I didn’t need to. You took care of it like a boss, spider monkey.”
“I took care of it like the go ddamn princess,” I said, laughing.
Everyone laughed and for a moment, we had all forgotten what had happened that day. I knew it was going to hit us all later, but for now, we were alive, we were together, and I was grateful for each one of them.
The doctor came in later to check on the patients. He told them both he saw no reason why they couldn’t go home the next morning. He wanted to monitor both of them through the night, but as long as everything went well overnight, then they could go home in the morning. He asked to speak to me in the hallway once he was satisfied with both Ivan and Andrei.
Adrik looked concerned and got up to come with me, but I motioned for him to stay, I said, “I’ll be okay,” quietly as I followed the doctor into the hallway.
“Young lady, I don’t know what kind of special powers you have over that man, but it’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen. I’ve never had a patient that resistant to heavy sedatives before. We gave him enough to sedate a horse and it barely touched him. But you walked in, whispered something to him and he

“Oh, he would’ve killed all of you,” I said, sincerely.
I believe you.” He offered me his hand. “Thank you. For helping me save his life today and for saving mine and those of my

He looked surprised at my words, the gravity of the situation fully hitting him. Without thinking, I hugged him. He needed it.
“What’s your name?” I asked him, as I stepped back from him.
“Charlie. Charlie Williams.”
“If we’re ever in this situation again, and there’s a solid chance we will be, Dr. Williams, can I have them call you in to take care of him? It’ll help him to know who’s working on him.”
