Capítulo 22: Counselling session
TIME : 9:43AM
LOCATION : UNKNOWN ( ????? )
Dan awakens with a throbbing headache, putting his right palm on his temple and rubbing it trying to get some comfort.
"You're awake."
Ilara remarks with a smile on her face, she sits not too far from his bedside.
"How are you feeling??"
Dan looks at her and replies rather reluctantly.
"I feel better, thanks."
He tries to get up from the bed but is unable to as he staggers to stay up, Ilara rushes to his side and helps him back into bed.
"You should stay in bed, you need your rest… whatever that crazy doctor did to you would take some time to wear off."
She remarks has she proceeds to pick up a glass of water and hand it to Dan, who takes it with a suspicion.
"Why are you helping me like this??..... I mean you hardly even know me, why go through such trouble because of me??"
Dan asks, Ilara smiles at his question and goes back to take her seat.
"I know you might feel a bit weird because you might feel that I don't know you and thus I shouldn't be helping you but you should realize that I have strong enough reasons."
Ilara replies as she crosses her legs to put herself in a corporate position.
"Please do enlighten me on these reasons that you might have."
Dan says has he straightens himself in bed.
"No no, you won't have your way so easily like you did the last time, when you talk then I'll talk."
Ilara adjusts herself ready for Dan to speak.
"Is that so??.... OK then, what do you wanna know, at least you deserve that much for helping me though to be honest I was satisfied with staying in the penitentiary if I hadn't found out that Cheng wanted to brainwash me into working for his men."
Dan seems to have put on a serious expression has he looked on at Ilara.
"Let's with the basics, what's your name and I mean your full name, don't lie to me."
Ilara questions.
"Daniel Ruso."
Dan replies calmly.
"Which means that you are related to De'sant and Mikam Ruso."
Ilara pulls a notepad out of the chair she is seating on.
"Yes, they are my parents, well they were before their deaths….by the look of things you already know this so why are you asking me??"
Dan asks putting up an eyebrow.
"Just had to be sure."
Ilara replies with a smirk.
"Anyways, I thought all members of the Ruso family were killed, how come you survived??"
Dan contemplates answering the question.
"This doesn't help with your case, why don't you try to stay on track and not ask questions that don't concern you."
Ilara rolls her eyes and sighs.
"Of course".
"is he still alive??"
Sai asks as he watches Rani examine Jace.
"well yeah but he is unconscious cause of the condition you guys left him in two days ago, I mean you guys are really harsh."
Rani replies with a chuckle.
"well we didn't really foresee getting arrested so it's technically not our fault."
Sai remarks with a chuckle while also placing his palm on his head, Rani looks up at Sai and gives him a big smile.
"Well he'll be fine, he just needs some glucose in his system, I think I can get those at a pharmacy."
Sai nods his head.
"Alright then, there's a pharmacy close by, you could go there and get what you need."
Rani gets up and attempts to walk but accidentally trips and falls into Sai.
"Oh sorry bout that."
Sai says has he tries to step back but is unable to as Rani holds on to him and rests on his chest.
"This is nice."
Rani comments has she snuggles up closer to Sai, Sai begins to feel uncomfortable and frees himself from her hold.
"I have a girlfriend and we have work to do, let's get going."
Sai remarks has he begins to walk out of the room.
"Fine."
Rani sighs has she follows suit.
"What else do you want to know??.... I am an open book at this point."
Dan says with a weary smile.
"You don't have to lie to me, I know how much this session is upsetting you, but you'll just have to answer my questions as payment for saving your life….. Anyways back to our session, how did you get into jail??"
Ilara pries further.
Dan becomes uncomfortable and shifts his face.
"they killed them, they took away my second family just as they did the first."
Ilara puts up an eyebrow.
"What exactly are you talking about here??"
Dan looks back at her with a mixture of sadness and anger in his eyes.
"Karan and Armstrong, Cheng's top dogs killed the family I was staying with at the outskirts of the city because they felt I was a threat…. They took everything from me a second time."
Ilara can't help but feel bad for him.
"That's why you've been so sad and depressed lately, because you blame yourself for their deaths…. I'm really sorry you had to go through all that."
Ilara stands up from her chair and sits beside the bed.
"I should have saved them, but they made me so helpless…. I watched them die and I couldn't do anything to save them."
Dan says has tears begin to roll down his eyes, Ilara takes hold of his hand and he looks up at her…
"How is he??"
Sai asks Ilara has she comes out of Dan's room.
"He's broken both emotionally and physically….he is gonna take some time to recover completely."
Ilara replies with a tone of pity.
"You don't sound so happy, did he not cooperate with your questions??"
Sai collects the notepad Ilara carried with her and went through it.
"Actually he did and it went smoothly for the most part, I just feel really bad for him."
Ilara says as she and Sai begin to walk down the hall into another room.
"Why do you feel bad for him??"
Sai questions with curiosity.
"He's been through a lot Sai, I mean I can clearly understand now why he is the way that he is…. And it's all thanks to Cheng and his loser cronies, we have to bring him down Sai, we just have to."
Ilara takes a seat and places her face between her palms.
Sai takes a cue from that and pulls her closer to himself after dropping the notepad he was carrying.
"We'll bring him down, don't worry about it…. So many crimes committed by one man and yet he still stays in a seat of power, this makes me question the very structure of our society."
Sai remarks has he continues to hold Ilara.
Ilara puts her head up for a bit to gaze at Sai who gives her a smile, she kisses him and then proceeds to pull herself from his hold.
"Where is your hot nurse??.... I don't see her around."
Ilara teases has she walks towards the fridge and grabs some biscuits.
"She's not my nurse and she ain't that hot, anyways she is out getting some stuff to use and resuscitate Jace."
Sai chuckles at the thought of the fact that Ilara was actually jealous of Rani.
"Well she does certainly think you are and she is not scared to show it."
Ilara walks back to the couch and takes a seat before resting her head on Sai's laps.
"You know I can understand you being jealous but at least be jealous over someone that is worth it, I mean Rani, no way."
Sai says has he chuckles some more and proceeds to take a biscuit from Ilara but she slaps his hand away.
" Nuh-uh, go get your own."
Ilara remarks with her tongue out.
"Brutal, babe."
Sai comments has he begins to laugh also causing Ilara to join in the laughter.
"I think I'll have to go over to our place to get a few things."
Sai remarks has he gets dressed.
"Alright then, I'll stay here and keep watch over Dan as well as wait for Rani to get back…. You be careful now, I'm pretty sure someone would be looking for us."
Ilara walks up to him and helps him button his shirt.
"I'll be heading out now, see you soon."
Sai bends low and pecks Ilara.
"You have fun."
Ilara says with a smile after which Sai steps out of the building they were in and into the streets...….
