He watched her.
It was a quiet night, as she sat alone. Her light pink eyes focused on the grass, as her hands clutched to a bracelet. Her sister had been in the hospital for some time, and she had just passed away in the night. Tears stung her eyes as she looked away from the bracelet. They fell slowly as her quiet sobs became audible.
She was crying.
He felt his heart ache for her. As a mob boss he could have done nothing. He and his patrol had be gone, doing a job for another when he got word of the albino's passing sister. His heart pained him knowing that it was going to be hard for the girl to get over this one. She was not only a sister, but a twin. The girls were always together, laughing and poking fun at the boys like it was a daily game to play. But the brown twin fell ill, and now she was gone.
He approached the albino from behind and sat beside her. No words were spoken between the two. Just her soft sobs. He pulled her to him and wrapped an arm around her. He didn't know what else to do. He had threatened and killed so many with no remorse, but this was a new matter. This, he could not help but feel remorse for the albino girl and her loss.
Her sobs slowed and soon they stopped. He glanced at her. Eyes were closed as she leaned on him. So soft. So warm. As he watched the scenery, one of her arms came around him, making the once tough mob boss, blush. He looked back at the stars as a very clear embarrassing smile curled his lips. How in hell was he going to explain THIS to the boys?

Bleh. Short story is short. Something I just now thought up. I'll prolly change it later.
It's for Dr. Smartguy M.D.
