Jemisha got back home with Jack and took her inside.
She set her down at the table and gave her some tea and snacks.
After a few minutes he brought over her gun.
"You should practice as much as you can, and it needs some cleaning."
'You took out the bullets right?'
"All the bullets are out of the clip and the one in the chamber is also out."
She took the gun and the cleaning kit.
While she was taking it apart piece by piece, Chris came in to the room.
"Oh did you get your first lesson about guns from Gunner?"
'Hmm'
'Do you dislike it he started to teach me?'
"No not at all, having knowledge about weapons means you won half the battle."
"And a skill like that is handy, why you may never fire one, knowing how they work is handy."
"Because if you get good at disassembling a gun means you can take the weapon of your opponents and disassemble it and throw the part away and give you time to flee."
'Do you know how to disassemble and reassemble a gun?'
"I do."
'Who taught you?'
"Gunner did…I can also fire one and aim to kill, but I don't carry one with me because I feel I don't need them, I have my cars and speed."
'So you were a student of Gunner.'
"You can say that."
Jemisha was finally done with cleaning and started to reassemble the gun when she was done she looked proud.
"Black Rose take your phone and start the stopwatch for me."
Jemisha did what he asked.
"Start."
He started to disassemble it at almost lighting speed.
When he was done she stopped the timer and she looked at it.
'What it only took you 18 seconds…'
"Again."
"Start."
Jemisha started the timer again and he started to reassemble the gun, when he was done he put it down and Jemisha looked at the timer again.
'No way… 15 seconds!!!!'
Jack came in to the room. "Mouse your time decreased by 2 seconds on both parts."
"Well I haven't been practicing for a while…"
"How long is a while?"
"2 years…"
"Well then the decrease isn't that bad." Jack smiled.
"By the way Black Rose what kind of gift do you want for you?"
Jemisha smiled, 'All I want is for everybody to be there… that's all I wish for.'
After dinner Jemisha was on her balcony with a cup of coffee, just as she wanted to pick up the cup it scattered.
Jemisha went to the balcony wall and crouched down so she wouldn't be in the line of sight of the sniper.
Due to all the noise from the city the gun shot sound was muffled so she couldn't hear what type of rifle it was.
Loki came to the balcony and saw her crouched down.
'Stop!'
Loki stopped.
'Tell Gunner there is a sniper on one of the roof buildings across from us.'
'I'll be fine for now.'
Then there was another shot and this was aimed at Loki but missed him.
Loki went to find Gunner.
"Where is Jack?"
"Jack went out why?"
"Black Rose is pinned down on the balcony because there is a sniper on the roof of one of the building across from us."
Chris pick up his phone "Jack, can I use your sniper rifle?"
"Why?"
"Because Black Rose is pinned down on the balcony…"
"Go ahead."
Chris hang up and told Loki to stay out of sight of the sniper but and keep her calm.
Loki nodded and went back to Jemisha
"Black Rose, how are you holding up?"
'Hmm… I'm alright for now.'
"Well you just have to sit tight for a little longer."
'Knifes?'
"What is it?"
'Are you still mad at me?'
"I'm not."
'Then why are you making me keep a distance from you?''
"I didn't mean to…I was manly mad at myself for yelling at you like that, and when you got home from the hospital the first thing you did was apologizing to me, when I should have been the one apologizing to you."
'So then everything is good between us?'
"Yeh…unless you're mad at me for making you feel you need to keep your distance from me."
'I'm not mad, I was just a little sad, that's all.'
'But since everything is good between us, I'm happy.'
Chris was on the rooftop with the sniper rifle and set up in mere seconds and started to search for the enemy.
He couldn't find him that easy so he made a call to Loki.
"Yoh Loki can you distract the sniper and make him fire?"
"What!!!"
"You want me to get shot?"
Jemisha heard Loki and got an idea 'Loki go to my bag and throw my pocked mirror to me.'
Loki did and slight it over to her.
Jemisha held it up and start to reflect and the sniper took his shot.
Mouse found the sniper and Jemisha took her chance and rushed to the door.
Mouse aimed and shot the enemy sniper down before he could take another shot at her.
Jemisha pounced at Loki and hugged him, he patted her head and she was relaxed again.
Loki helped her up and noticed she was bleeding.
"Black Rose…did you get hit by a bullet?"
'No.'
Loki pulled a knife from his pocked and tore her shirt.
'What the hell!?'
"What you want me to strip you naked?"
'No… but you better buy a new shirt.'
Loki laughed "Sure, I'll buy as many as you want."
Mouse came back in to the room and saw the stained on her shirt and the knife cut.
"Loki?"
"Hmm"
"Did you stabbed our Black Rose?"
Loki turned around and Jemisha started to laugh.
"What…I thought it would be less invading to her if I did it this way."
"Next time I just strip her then…"
Jemisha started to laugh even more but it turned into a cough.
"Let's go to the hospital and let the doctor have a look at it."
'Do I have to… I don't want to get scolded at.'
'And besides we can't go outside now…there is still a sniper out there.'
"Don't worry he has been neutralized, so it's safe to go." Mouse said to her.
'You can even snipe?'
"Yeh…Like you said earlier, I'm a student of Gunner."
'Wow…'
Loki threw a set of keys to Mouse, "You drive."
Loki picked up Jemisha and they went out of the apartment and left for the hospital.
On the way Loki texted Jack, and the others, that the sniper was neutralized and took Jemisha to the hospital because she was bleeding and coughing.
While Jemisha was with the doctor he examined her wound and saw it reopened due to sudden movements.
He started to lecture her but Chris and Loki defended her, and told him there was someone aiming for and the reason it opened was because she had to hid from it.
Jemisha was coughing again.
"How long do you have this cough?"
'It started today.'
The doctor took her temperature and some blood.
"You're not allowed to leave until your blood-work comes back."
'No, I'm going home, it's just a little cough.'
Jemisha stood up but got dizzy and nearly fell over.
"Black Rose, it's better you stay here until the results are out."
"We will stay with you, so you won't be alone."
Jemisha reluctant agreed and the doctor brought her to a room.
Jemisha was grabbed a pillow and was releasing her anger.
'I will not stay here, I refuse to stay here!'
"Black Rose…"
'I don't want to celebrate my birthday in a hospital…'
Tears started to fall down form her eyes while hitting the pillow.
Loki and Chris hugged her, "Don't worry that will not happen."
"Loki is right, we will kidnap you and take you out of here."
Jemisha smiled and nodded.
After a few hours the doctor came back.
"Jemisha…"
'Ah sh*t…here we go again…'
"You are cleaning your wounds and changed you bandage daily right?"
'I do, twice a day.'
'If you don't believe me you can call Jack or ask Chris, they always help me.'
"That's correct, every morning, and before she goes to bed."
"Well you have a mild fever, and you seem to have a bacterial infection."
'Don't look at me, I only got out of the house 4 times this week so… and every time I change my bandage, we all wash our hands and disinfect them with alcohol…'
"Well it probably because you lost so much blood your immune system also weakened quite a lot."
"I'll give you an antibiotic and you can go home, but I recommend you eat more vitamin D to help you boost and recover your immune system."
'Really!'
"Hmm." The doctor patted her head.
"I see you in 4 days, and in advance happy birthday Jemisha."
'Thank you doc.'
Jemisha left the hospital and was very happy she didn't had to stay.
When they got home it was already 12 AM and Jemisha was sleeping on the back seat leaning against Loki.
Blake was down to meet them and carefully took Jemisha out of the car.
"Were is Jack?"
"Hunting."
They went up and Blake put her on the bed.
"Does she need to change her bandage?"
"No the doctor changed them all."
"Alright…"
He covered her up and the three of them left the room.
"So… what did the doctor say."
"Well one of her deeper wounds reopened because she had made and unexpected movements, and on top of that she has a mild fever and bacterial infection."
"He gave her some antibiotics and she could go home."
"The doctor also told her that she needed to eat vitamin D rich foods for a while, he said due to the blood loss her immune system got weakened a lot."
"Well one thing is for certain…Our Black Rose didn't piss of anybody from the underworld."
"They are provoking her… but to as why, I don't know."
"And for what I could find on Jemisha's former life as Jenifer… it was half a lie."
