The Sins of Anna-Chapter 73 See Only Me 28.2

****

Shocked eyes wide, I look at the officer who had tried to protect me outside of Golden Dragon Hotel. I can't help but smile as I leave Rens embrace and make my way to the officer "You're okay, ummm?"I try to search for his name but I realize I still don't know it. He Smiles back Brightly turns and pulls up part of his shirt.

"Officer Genero, Issac Genero. Didn't hit anything vital so made them do quick stitches in the ambulance then headed this way. Figured you would need back up.

Ren quirks his brow in amusement and interjects making me look at him "You thought you'd give use a hand." He almost laughs at the idea that the police where helping a Group such as ours. The officer scowls.

"A lot of these people of civilians I figured rather than front page saying Feng clan Responsible for a mass killing spree you'd like help with the cover up of what happened here seeing as this time you where attacked. Least that's how it looks to me."

I nod with the officers deductions. I mean he was there when I was attacked minding my own business. Speaking of which I still don't know why he was there.

"Thanks but I think we got it." Ren says turning away to head to Maliki who was just spectating near Rens Room entrance till now. Are you fucking kidding me he was refusing.

"Ren," I hiss at him. He glares back at me. "This is not a time for your god damn pride we have men, your men and probably some of mine that need medical treatment right away."

"There are ambulances with medical staff waiting to come in to assist." Gnero interjects. Rens face frowns more. I know pushing his buttons isn't smart and here just minutes ago I was so relieved he was alive and well. When David had stabbed him like a coward only thing I saw was red.

"You know what angel face." Ren Says Glaring down at me. "David is right about one thing Falling in love with you sure as hell has brought me nothing but trouble." My mouth wants to hit the floor. I look at my feet. I have no idea if he is serious or joking. Is he blaming all this on me.

I fight crying, I glare back at him his face unreadable. "Be pig headed if you want but don't let your family suffer because of it." I sigh "Officer Genero Please help where you can, also make sure someone looks at the idiot over there that's still bleeding and trying to hide it." I point at Ren I don't have to look at him to know what expression he's wearing because Officer Generos reaction tells me everything as he looks at Ren from my words. I reach into my leather jacket pocket glad to find my phone still there. I flip it open hitting Number 3 and put it to my ear. Jack answers in muffled tones. I turn to look at the officer. "Can you tell your men to stand down I saw sweetly trying to persuade him. He chuckles and reaches into his jacket pulls out a walkie mumbles something. I can here on the other end of my line officers saying it's all clear to get the EMT's in here.

"Christ Anna whats happening." Jack asks confused.

"Don't worry it's all fine. Give me a status update. I whisper back wanting to keep the conversation private. Last thing I need is Ren getting more pissed and stubborn.

A sigh can be heard on the other end. "Few casualties on our side my lady though it seems the main target was the Feng clan members. Seems they weren't expecting us." Hearing that my heart races a little.

"Hows Mike?" I ask holding my breath, he had been injured again because of me so that I could get to Ren.

"Stubborn as a mule and a creepy as hell." I almost want to laugh. Imagining what Mike did to creep out Jack.

"My lady are..."

"I'm fine." I reply quickly before he can finish asking. I look at myself covered in blood splatter. I knew I'd meet resistance getting to Ren. I had tried so hard to just avoid them, or knock them out. The Candy has become even more a threat than before. I feel my body shiver. My skin suddenly feeling sticky from the blood that covers it. I had no choice if I hadn't raised my blades I would never have made it. Their blood, the smell of metallic perforated through my senses. The look in there eyes as I sliced each down that got in my way.

"Anna, ANNA! The shouting on the other end refocused my thoughts.

"Sorry Jack." I looked around the corridor littered with injured and dead bodies, windows broken, there's no way Feng clan could stay here to night the manors security had been compromised. "Jack has our new living arrangement been made. I hadn't received the text before this."

He clears his throat. "Yes of coarse my lady."

"Good text me that address we will be housing Feng Clan tonight."

"What!" I hear him bark over the phone.

"Do it now!" I shout and hang up. I wasn't going to explain at this moment and I defiantly didn't need to. If he couldn't figure out why, maybe he was dumber then I thought. I turn noticing Ren, Maliki, and The officer staring at me. I want to groan and Roll my eyes but my phone pings and I look down turning my attention to. Sending a quick text back saying Got it Thanks. He didn't replay and I should feel bad I'm sure I hurt his feelings talking to him like that, but after everything I had just been through I wasn't up for arguing with him on this matter. Feng was my family and if I could help then god damn it I was going to help. I forward the message. Suddenly I hear Ren and Maliki's phones ping as well. Maliki takes out his phone and looks it up and holds it to Ren. He turns his face looking confused as if searching for the answer if it's written on my face.

"It's where I'm staying come if you want, or you can continue to be stubborn and reject my hospitality." I say matter of factly like. Turning away from his prying eyes.

"Why do you care? You tried to reject and run away from our hospitality just a few hours ago." Ren reply's smugly.

I turn back Glaring at him "That's because someone got it in there damn head to have everyone thinking I'm some kind of whore. When all I've ever done is worry about them. Every move I make has been for a god damn idiot who can't see past his own problems." I'm now shouting. I take a deep breath turning to walk away. I won't cry here that's for sure. I glance back Rens eyes still piercing at my back. "Feng Clan is my family, least in my heart it is. Even if you say I'm serpent scum I was and am Feng first and formost." I look away. "It's not safe here, even if you can handle it. I wanted to help." I walk off knowing I am fighting the tear.

"Said it before, you got one hell of a woman there. Guess they need to be thick skin to deal with this shit." Officer Genero breaks the silence pulling my attention away from the retreating Anna.

"I never wanted her this thick skinned." I say begrudgingly My angel has vanished before my eyes. She was a tiger who has tasted blood and feels nothing about doing so now.

"Oh trust me she isn't. That little girl left just now to hide the fact that it finally hit her and it was going to hit her even harder when she was finally alone. I can promise you that Ren Feng. If you don't want to loose her don't let her suffer through her anguish alone tonight. When she drew first blood earlier when our lives where in danger. The pain of her screams I feared she might kill herself right then and there. It was the thought of you and her family in danger that pulled her through. However tell me Lord Feng take that away from her and what does she have to ground her." I listen and contemplated officer Generos words. "Last piece of advise from an old man I don't know what happened between you two, but tonight suck it up be the bigger man. Make sure your there for her because shes sitting on the edge of a bridge right now not sure what she will do."

I watch as he leave me and Maliki there in silence. Fuck I feel like I'm the bad guy here. I see the glistening of Anna's blades on the floor where they had dropped from when I grabbed her again holding her back from David. All I wanted was to hide her away keep her to myself forever Her position or who where were she came from no where in my mind. Fear flooded me that she really would chase after him and I loose her forever. I walk over gently pick them up. Admiring them remembering how she looked.

"Maliki." I turn to him his face neutral but his body tense. "I trust your opinion, what should I do?"
