"I know you don't exactly like me, but damn. I think that's a little unnecessary."

"He's just a little...unstable at the minute" Leon told her, while reaching to pull the gun from Beck's hands. For a second or two, the blonde boy refused too let go, but slowly unfolded his fist to allow his partner to take it. It was clear he was shaking. Leon quickly unloaded the weapon before tucking it into his pocket. Out of sight? Out of mind? "Hey...Are you alright?" He asked softly, putting a comforting hand on Bex's back. He stood maybe a little too close to her.

"Maybe I'll bleed out, you'd like that wouldn't you?"

Millie gritted her teeth, already finding this woman utterly exhausting. "Do you have to be so dramatic? Would I be here to sow you up if I did? No. I knew what the likely situation was. I could have just stayed at home, but I didn't." Her eyes narrowed darkly and she shot a glance over in Beck's direction. "Maybe you should be more appreciative of my work." She advised her, reminding Elisa of his now almost fully healed stomach wound. It was rather likely that the gang leaded would have died with out her help.

"Yooo, Elisa. I know you're kind of fucked up and I respect your depressing sentiment, but I think Jess has seen enough for one day? But I mean, if you're chill with that, I don't judge."

"Where is Jess! Is she alright? Oh my god what happened. Did he hurt her? Does he even know about her?" Beck's heart began to race as he dashed along the hallway, dipping his head in and out of each room in search for the small girl. "Elisa...what happened?" He said turning back towards his girlfriend before Millie stopped her filling him in. "She can talk when she doesn't have blood gushing from her throat okay?" She demanded, kneeling beside the bed and starting to work on her neck. Beck held her hand as the redhead began to fix her up, but he still had to turn away.

"You're all twisted, but before you sit around and wallow in said twistiness, I suggest we dip. Ice Queen or Nanny McPhee could be back at any minute."

"I'm almost done....Just a little while longer." The crimson haired woman explained. "Who are you again? Elisa's friend?" The girl questioned, of course she knew who she was, but still was curious about her response regarding her relationship with Leon. Still Millie never took her eyes off Elisa's wound, and was clearly rather talented and focused on sewing, even for a gang nurse.

"Should we head back to the flats?" Leon suggested, earning a small nod from Millie. "Does Jess have someone to care for her?" Beck asked, concerned about the little redheads safety.

"I'm done." Annouced Millie, stepping back from the bed and allowing Elisa to get up. "Please don't do anything that might open it back up."

"We could just leave. Skip town. Get out of here."

"Elisa..." Beck sighed softly, and even though it appeared like he was seriously considering it, he followed up with, "I don't think I can just leave my g-" He paused, realising that Bex was unaware of the situation; he fixed his false start. "...everyone. Where would we get the money? What about Jess? What about my Dad? It's not that simple."
