"Eric!" Natalie hollered in excitement as soon as she caught a glimpse of her husband. She ran straight to him and leaped into his arms and he caught her, twirling her around as she squealed.
It has been days since the both of them laid eyes on each other. Eric has been busy covering and cleaning up the mess the feud between Richardo and Marcel created. Though the war didn't escalate as many had thought, it didn't mean the street was peaceful.
Allegiances were switched, misplaced, innocent bystanders caught in the tug of war between both sides, eyewitnesses to shut up, associates murdered as messages to respective gangs, and authorities to bribe and divert attention. He could barely catch his breath the past few days.
As for Natalie, she has been quite busy with lots of patients to treat, especially her son-in-law-to-be, Marcel. This was a special case and she took charge of it. Although she did make his pocket bleed - how dare he make her daughter worry?
