"Hey loser."
I was the first one to see Gabe since I'm the boss. I opened the doors and his face pained me a little. His skin had a dull to it and he looked laggy and sleepy.
Gabe gives me a smile as I lightly dab him up and sit in the chair next to his bed.
"What did I miss? Did we win?"
I nod. "We won, no casualties. But you missed a lot. We'll get caught up on work later, how are you?"
He looks up at the ceiling, contemplating what to say.
"Shit man, I'm on so much medication I can't feel shit", he laughs and so do I as I stand up and give him a bro hug.
"I missed you man, I can't get any work without you."
He frowns. "Aw, you saying you need me baby?"
I make a face of disgust. "You have cooties."
"Seriously though. Any update on the mission?"
I didn't want to tell him, but I have to.
"Yeah. Zio Sergio was the one who caused both crashes that night. He withheld information and plotted to murder my parents along with Kiiara's. We got the documents and letters to prove it. "
His eyes widen. "Damn, man. You serious?"
I shake my head. "It's so fucked up I don't even know how to go by this. I'm leaving for Italy today."
"Today? When?"
"In 3 hours. I'll be gone for about a week. I don't want you to work or worry about this mission. It's boss's orders that you rest and sleep. "
"Nile-"
"No." My voice was stern. "You are going to rest and heal. If I can call you sometime and catch you up I will but this week you aren't working, got it?"
He looked like he wanted to say no, but he knew better and agreed.
"I would stay but I have two women standing out there waiting for their turn."
I stand up and look at my best friend. I hold my hand up and he connects his with mine.
"Heal. I need my best friend, in more ways than one."
He nods and I say goodbye and leave the room.

I waited till Kiiara was done meeting Gabe. I said goodbye to Nina and told her one of my guards will pick her up when she's done talking to Gabe.
"I have to pack."
She looks up at me. "Don't you have people for that?"
"I do, but I don't like people touching my drawers and shit."
She nods. "Fair."
