"Why don't you just fill me in on this new case and then we can figure out what to do from there. If I spend to much tme with him Koga always whines, he thinks I can be worse then getting shot some times, or at least thats what he told me when he threw me out." she jokes.
Alicia speaks, “Yeah it is a pretty simple case I guess. But it should help you keep busy if that is what you are looking for.”
Back at the Malibu Regional Hospital
“Yes mom, I am fine,” Koga replies. He listens some more before rubbing his head pacing about the room, “Dad was here with Sakura, and they both saw that I was alright. It was a little scary, but I am fine. By the way, did you tell dad yet about not joining the DA’s office?”
Koga pauses before sighing loudly, “Well, yes I have thought about it, and I just don’t want to do that. It was never my idea, you know that; besides I got the call back, they want me to start on Monday, the money is good and it is really, what I want to do. Alright?”
Koga smiles, “I knew you would understand, bye mom.” He tossed the cell phone onto the bed and walked to the window.
A second figure in the room, a slim Asian woman, the one known as Mai stood up, “Your mother must be a pleasant person.”
“She is the only person in my immediate family that understands me, people seem to think twins are close. Not Sakura and I, night and day; she has always been daddy’s girl. She has wanted to be a cop since we were kids. Not me, that isn’t my thing, but I tagged along anyways, I guess to not feel left out.”
Mai smiles, “Well I do like Sakura, she is a very strong woman.”
“She does not swing your way Mai,” Koga replies over his shoulder. His eyes darting down to the minute scar where the bullet had pierced his flesh. He grins, “Nice work by the way, I am always amazed at just how powerful your talents are.”
“We need you healthy,” Mai replies, “things are going to get worse before they get better.”
“The Horde?” Koga sighs as he places a hand on the window.
“They are making a push into some of our territories. They hit Chen and his boys yesterday, they left one alive the rest, were a bloody mess. Word is some of the Horde is trying to push into our more lucrative markets,” the young woman answers.
“Great, just what we didn’t need. I should be out of here by tomorrow afternoon, I am not staying another day longer in this place. Just in time for some payback,” Koga replies with a narrow of his eyes.
