The nurse gave him some mischiveous grin and then sat down opposite of him.<br/><br/><span style="color: #80FF00">"She is some sex craving cutie, huh? But be careful, Viking, she may be in love with you but she wouldn't stop to sell you to the authorities, if she believes that you are some criminal mind. And while we all know that you are some good guy and you are doing it all for the greater good, you are still some criminal. Don't forget it, you know that we still need you around. It would be a pity if this all goes to hell. You did such a great job in building everything up..."</span><br/><br/>Peter gave her a weak, reassuring smile and put his hand on her arm, squeezing it lightly. <br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"Don't worry, Maria, I know that Alice is dangerous. But she isn't as relentless as you all believe. She comes from a family of miners and lost her brother to drugs. She has some heart, believe me. It may just be buried deep inside and covered by layers of ice, but she won't tell about the hospitals and I hope that I bring her to accept the rest too. But I won't tell her everything, especially not my darker periods in life. I like her a lot and I am probably falling as hard for her as she is falling for me. But like she would sell me out, I won't give her the whole picture too. Or tell her those things her dossiers don't show. She still thinks that the MP know all about me..."</span><br/><br/>Peter laughed heartily about this crazy idea. He had done a lot of things and while some of the crimes in Alice's files were probably accused on him wrongly, as she wasn't the only bad mastermind out here, a lot of crimes were never associated with him. Peter had always tried to spread his enterprise widely and often the connections to him could only be found after long investigations.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"I guess I better return to those two, before Alice rips the scrubs from Serge to fulfill her desires. I guess that is my job from now on..."</span></div>
