GOLDEN HEART 27

CONTINUED FROM THE OTHER DAY...

However and despite how every mafia wanted his services that some of them would offer him triple what his hospital gains in a year and a lot of other things that would make his great - grandchildren live like Kings, he never once budged. Having money was never that much of a great deal for him.

Just as Justine was about to start his punishment the door was slammed open, and a panting man came in. ‘They’ve found the Vipers’ Boss, they’re bringing him in.’ He told Justine, still panting a bit.

Justine nodded at him before turning to Müller. ‘Take care of him.’ She said motioning to Robert.

Müller’s phone vibrated in his pocket before he answered, he fished it out to see what was it then he looked up. ‘A.L’ he called out for Justine just before she exited the door.

‘Yes?’ She stopped and turned to look at him.

‘A pardon order was just issued.’ He informed.

‘To Whom?’ She asked.

‘Robert.’ He replied.

She looked at him for awhile before averting her gaze to the Doc, then finally settled it on one of the surveillance cameras that was in the far end on the right corner of the room. She spent sometime looking at it.

‘Untie him, and escort him to his room to refresh.’

She ordered the guards still looking at it, then she turned to Müller smirking.

She had a hunch the Doc was innocent but she knew even if he really was there’s nothing she could do to save him. He was guilty of conspiring to kill Papa, and the decisions to forgive were only issued by Papa himself, no other member of the mafia had the right to issue these kinds of orders, not even her. They were to find and terminate those whom found guilty only.

So she had to prove to herself first before all that Robert was innocent then prove it to Papa and to let him issue the order himself. She had to do it all at once so that no one doubts that she’s trying to save him, and the interrogation room was the best place she could think of to do just that. Her goal was to have Robert leave without a scratch on him, but she doubted it would work. She anticipated that he would at least have one of his fingers cut before Papa interferes.

Turns out Papa really cares about him after all.

Robert was not just Papa’s doctor to her, he was one of the few people that stood beside her in her times of need.

For her, saving him was a duty.

She watched until the guards escorted him out of the door to his room. Robert like all the other mafia’s key members, had a room for him inside the main house for when he would pull an all nighter, or when he’s needed for other purposes.

Justine looked at Müller.

‘Let’s get this over with!’
