THE MAFIA HEIR - EPISODE 1

★★★★★

Milan, Italy**

Preston hospitals**

The whistling of the ambulance can he heard as it drove fast to the hospital, it stopped in front of it and three interns came out with a paramedic

The backdoor of the ambulance was opened in a flash and a stretcher was pulled out, on top of it is an unconscious man who looks lifeless

The stretcher was pushed hastily into the hospital and he was transported from the stretcher to the bed

“He fell from his bed and collapsed just this morning” the paramedic said

“Call doctor Mateo, fast!” A doctor said to one of the interns as he started giving shocks in joules to the unconscious patient

“Doctor Mateo is not in the hospital presently” the intern replied

” Then call another available doctor! ‘ the doctor replied in haste as he continued giving shocks to the patient and soon, his vitals came back

The doctor breathed heavily as the patient started breathing again

Minutes later, a room in the hospital**

Close to ten doctors are sitting while looking at the screenplay revealing the patient’s organs

“Scan shows that his internal organs and tissues has bulged through his weak muscle areas” a doctor said, pointing at the screen showing the man’s internal organs

“That’s hernia” a voice said, entering the room

“Doctor Brandon!” The analyzing doctor said as Brandon walked majestically into the room

“Can’t believe you guys are still here at a time like this, he’s dying, surgery should have started right now” he said

” Stop talking as if the rest of us never went to school” a doctor replied

” Well that’s how I talk, any problem with that?, Now who’s ready to perform surgery on the patient?” He asked, dipping his hands into his trousers pocket

Everyone went mute and not even a single word is heard in the room

“I’ll handle the surgery” another doctor said, entering the room

Brandon looked back and saw Mateo and Heather just entering the room

Heather is the hospital president’s daughter who’s also a doctor while Mateo is another doctor in the hospital, one of the best

“Oh, cool” Brandon smiled, facing them

Heather smiled at him but he never returned it

He walked past Mateo as he left the room and gave him one daring glare, Mateo stared at him hatefully too and Heather had to intervene before they stopped

“The surgery” she said and Mateo left the room immediately to prepare for surgery

“Why is it that the two of you are always at odds with each other?, You guys are the two best here, you should at least be in good terms” Heather said

” Never compare me with him, I’m Brandon and he’s Mateo” he replied before leaving

He went straight to his office and lightened a cigar which he puffed on for a long time

He blew out the smoke and walked round his office

“Mateo Klein, that bastard” he said to himself.

Theater**

A surgery section is going on with doctor Mateo as the lead surgeon and Heather as the assistant surgeon on the man with hernia

The surgery is going well at first and other doctors seemed to be impressed with their ongoing performance till the patient’s vitals started deteriorating

“His vitals” Heather said quickly

“Defibrillators” Mateo said and it was handed to him

“30 joules, charge” he said

“Set” an intern replied and he gave the shock

” 50 joules, charge”

“Set”

He gave the shock again but the vitals are still failing

“60 joules, charge”

“Set”

He shocked again but still no response

Hopes are already lost when he came back to life at 80 joules

“His vitals are back” Heather said, inhaling hard

Mateo dropped the defibrillators and exhaled

“Forceps” he said and it was handed to him

He’s about to start work again when haemorrhage started

Mateo stopped for a while and looked up at the doctors that are watching

President Remington is just getting there, and when their eyes met, he saw the look of disappointment on his face

“I don’t think you can do this Mateo, call for doctor Brandon” Heather said and a call was put through to him

In minutes, Brandon showed up and he was dressed up

He smiled at Mateo as he walked past him

“Don’t underestimate me, if you keep doing that, you’ll keep losing” Brandon said and Mateo left the theatre furiously

Brandon took over the surgery and Heather smiled

“Gauze” Brandon said and it was given to him, he stopped the haemorrhage and continued the surgery

Within twenty minutes, he’s done

“Close him up” he said and left the theatre

Heather followed him out and stopped him at the hallway

“You did well Brandon” she smiled

“I know, you can help me tell that to Mateo” he replied

“How cocky” Heather said, holding his hand

” We both know who’s cocky, I live in a free world and I don’t dream of a future so I’m just..free” he replied and removed his hand from her hold

” Let’s eat lunch together” she said

“No” he replied and left

Heather smiled and watched him till he’s out of sight.

“His personality is so unpredictable” she smiled, looking at her hand she held him with

Brandon got a call from his dad immediately he got back to the office, he picked and waited for him to speak

“Tonight, 9pm, Firdaus port, they’re from Indonesia and they might try to play smart, if that happens, waste them, I’ll send Reagan with you” Zelda’s voice said and hung up straight

Brandon dropped his phone and lightened another cigarette

“Save and kill, funny life huh? ” He smirked

Bliss college**

” That’ll be all for today, see you guys in the next class” professor Jayden said after concluding his class

“Yes sir” the students replied as he left the class

Nirvana yawned slightly and adjusted her glasses

“I’m so hungry, grandma was telling me to eat before leaving the house in the morning but I declined, now I’m facing the consequence” she complained

” You ate two plates of chicken marsala at the cafeteria this morning” Farrell replied from her right

” That’s nowhere near my normal breakfast” Nirvana replied, adjusting her glasses again

” Are you an eating machine?, Two plates of chicken marsala is nowhere near your normal breakfast?, You mean to tell me that your normal breakfast would have been five plates” Jamison said from her left side

They’re her two best and only friends in the department though Jamison is a guy

She looked at Jamison then at Farrell

“I’m Nirvana, I’m born to eat and glow” she said, flaunting her hair as they walked out of the class

“I’ll get tired of your heavy eating one day, you’re a full package” Farrell replied and someone suddenly bumped into Nirvana, making her glasses fall

It turned out to be Shawn, the arrogant dude, the most brilliant in their department

“Oh, sorry” he said and made to go but Farrell pulled him back

“What?, Why the hell will you pull my shirt” he said

Farrell moved closer to him and smiled like a warning sound

“Pick up her glasses” she said

“It’s not intentional, not like I pushed her, I bumped into her” Shawn replied and made to go again but Jamison blocked him this time

“Pick…the … glasses” he said

Students are already gathering to watch

“Are you guys serious now?,out of my way” Shawn replied arrogantly

“Guys it’s fine” Nirvana said, staying on her spot cos without the glasses, her vision is blurry

“You guys are just jealous cos I’m the best in the department, freaking jealous” Shawn said, laughing loudly

” Who gets jealous of a guy with stinking mouth” Farrell said and everyone gasped

” What did you just say” Shawn replied

Farrell picked the glasses and put it on for Nirvana before facing Shawn again

“Your mouth smells, it reeks, it stinks, get a toothbrush and stop attempting murder with the stench oozing out of it” she said to his face

Though it’s not true but badmouthing arrogant students is Farrell’s speciality

The students around laughed at the drama

Shawn stood there dumbfounded and Farrell smiled. “Ass.hole” she mouthed

“Let’s go guys” she said and left with Nirvana and Jamison

They settled down at the cafeteria and Jamison stuck hands with Farrell

“Your bad-mouth is top notch” Jamison said

“I know right?, Shawn deserves it for being an ass.hole” Farrell replied

” Thanks for standing by me guys” Nirvana said

” It’s ok, so what should we have?” Jamison said

” I want two plates of spaghetti and meatballs” Nirvana replied

” What!” Farrell and Jamison screamed

” Tell me is there a barrel in your stomach?” Jamison said

*And the most surprising thing is that no matter how much you eat, you’ll always remain as small as a mosquito” Farrell replied

” Whatever” Nirvana replied

The waiter came and they ordered what they want, while he’s away to get em, Jamison and Farrell chatted while Nirvana stared at her phone, looking at the pictures of her crush while smiling though most of it is not clear, they are pictures she took while stalking him

Farrell suddenly grabbed the phone from her and she jumped up

“Oh, your crush again?, Gosh you’re still stalking this doctor” Jamison said

” I can’t help it, he’s hot” she replied

” He must be around twenty two or so, Nirvana you’re nineteen” Jamison said

” Who says age matters” Nirvana replied, smiling broadly

” Look Nirvana, I know you have a premature brain but shouldn’t you use it efficiently?, How can you be in love with someone like him?, A professional doctor to you, an history student in her first year” Farrell replied and Jamison hit her shoulder

” That premature brain is exactly what you have, not her” he said

Farrell shot him a dangerous glare before facing Nirvana again

“Listen Nirvana, stop this before I report you to your strict grandma” she said

” No, not till he notices me, you don’t dare report me to grandma” she replied

” I don’t even want to talk about it anymore cos I know you’ll never listen, give me your brother’s number” Farrell smiled

” Now you see what I’m talking about, my brother is twenty one, you’re nineteen yet you’re crushing on him, well I’m not giving it to you, walk up to him and ask for it yourself” Nirvana replied and started eating when the ordered items came

“Nirvana” Farrell pouted and Jamison giggled

Past 8pm, a silent road**

Brandon is in his car, smoking as usual and it seems like he’s waiting for someone

He checked his phone and dropped it. “Almost time, why is Reagan not here yet?” He said

Someone knocked his car window and he looked up and saw Reagan

He opened the door at the other side and she came in

“Keeping to time is out of your league” he said

“Maybe, just like how living like a normal human is out of your F*cking league” Reagan smiled

“I’m not a normal human, you can say that again” he replied and started the car

“you’re… something else” Reagan replied

Reagan is the only lady among his dad’s workers and she’s the smartest.. maybe after Brandon so they’re close cos they do most of the jobs together

They got to Firdaus port and Brandon used his mask which covered all his face except his eyes

“Is that really necessary?, You should reveal your bloody face one day” Reagan said, getting out of the car with him after they kept their guns in their belt straps

“My life is different from my dad’s life, my life in the hospital and at home is mine, but during my missions, my life belongs to dad, I hate living two lives with same face” he replied

Reagan stared at him for so long before smiling

Even in the mask, she can feel the I don’t care look on his face

“They’re here” Brandon said as up to seven men came out of the ferry in the river

“Seven?, Something smells fishy” Reagan said

“They’d definitely try something, but I’m bad” Brandon smiled under his mask

No speech must be uttered between the two parties during the transaction so Reagan gave them the briefcase containing the goods while they handed the briefcase containing the money to her

Brandon watched like an hawk and noticed one of them dipping his hand into his pocket stealthily

He kept staring at him unnoticed till he pulled out a gun suddenly

He shot first but Brandon gave it back, bringing him down with just a bullet

The remaining six continued striking and bullets started raining

Obviously they’re trying to take the money too even after getting the goods

Reagan jumped over the car and landed on the other side then started shooting too

Brandon stood his ground gallantly, dodging bullets like stones, somersaulting, jumping, bending, rolling where necessary

Gunshots filled the whole area and soon, five were brought down out of six

The remaining one tried to run away to the ferry but Brandon followed him to the ferry

He pointed his gun directly on his forehead

“You think my boss will spare you and your dad?, If you kill me, you’ll die!” The guy ranted

Probably blabbing in place of pleading

“Really?” Brandon asked, enjoying the talk

“Yes, and you, only cowards don’t show their face, you’re a coward!” He blurted

Brandon bent beside him and pulled off his mask, revealing his face, the guy gasped in shock

“I cover my face for the safety of people like you, but now that you’ve seen my face, I won’t spare you” Brandon said and shot him in the forehead immediately

“Bloody ass.hole” he said and came out of the ferry

“Planted a bullet in his balls?” Reagan asked

“Somewhere better” Brandon replied, feeling much heat, he took off his shirt without warning and that revealed his s*xy abs and the gorgeousness of his arm tattoos

Reagan swallowed hard and quickly looked away

*Must you be a d*ckhead all the time?” She said

Brandon held her face and turned her to himself, making her look straight into his eyes, Reagan had to hold her breath that moment

“Are you tryna make me blush?, Too bad it didn’t work” she said and Brandon smiled dangerously

“I know I’m hot, don’t trip” he said and winked before entering the car

His job is done, he dislikes going to his dad’s house, they only talk on phone and unless it’s a very pressing issue, they never meet so it’s Reagan who delivers to Zelda

He drove off and Reagan smiled. “Ass.wipe” she said as another car came for her

She got in and it drove off.
