The Doctor Wife: A Bratva possession
There’s a trail leading around the back, thick and dark, already drying at the edges.
I follow it, heart pounding harder the closer I get.
A man's there, half-slumped beside the rear tire. He's a big guy. Long legs, broad chest, tattoos crawling up his neck and vanishing beneath a shirt soaked through with blood. One arm is limp, the other twitching slightly like he’s dreaming of a fight he isn’t finished with.
My brain clicks into ER mode before I can even think.
Femoral artery, probably. That kind of blood loss? He’s got minutes, if that.
