Best moments of Heart of Mafia story

Karin x David´s friendship:
(chapter 1)
Karin: “Finally! Where have you been?”
David: “I like to see you too, honey.”
(chapter 11)
Karin: “Late as usually.”
David: “I like to see you too.”

Assassins need hobbies too:
David: “You know that people usually make cut marks on their barrels for every person they killed not for every person they got laid?”
Karin: “I don´t have enough space on my gun for either of those. It´s easier to count only cops.”

Forbidden fruit:
(Keeth and Jack): Crimelord leaned forward and kissed his lover. Jack returned him the kiss, tilting his head backwards to make the contact easier. Soft moan escaping his lips made the crimelord pull Jack up into his embrace, forcing him to stop playing. Silence filled the dark room, but none of them minded. After all, both of them lived in the underworld. Darkness suited them both.

There are also religious people in Mafia:
Karin: “Hey, bro. Guess what I did tonight?”
David: “Prayed that there won´t be war between Drug Lords? Good idea.”

When things go wrong:
King of Assassins blinked and tried to inhale trough blood running out of his mouth and nose. He couched out more blood and struggled to breathe while David pressed his palm against the wound.

King of smugglers:
Dietrich (about David): “You´ve came to accuse me of a murder and yet you are the one covered in blood. Can´s you see? I sell goods. It´s you who sells death.”

How to ventilate some stress:
Karin: “Where did you go after shooting? You made me wait here pretty long.”
David: “I went to Dietrich. You know, to ventilate some stress by yelling at him. Him being the pacifist means that you can yell at him as much as you want and he won´t kill you.”

When silent guy speaks:
Richter (one who never speaks): “We are highest ranked among assassins,” said Richter suddenly and all heads turned to him in absolute surprise.
Seeing him talking was like seeing a tornado. Most of people can experience it only once in their life.
David tried not to stare at his ally, but he failed. He couldn´t remember when he heard Richter talking for the last time. It became almost tradition to tease the silent assassin in hope that that he would say something. Karin even leaned forward to look at Richter around David who was standing between them. Crimelord raised his eyebrows but he just shook his head, apparently deciding not to react on sudden change of events.

When crimelord is pissed off:
Three top ranked assassins, with their guns ready at their reach, had to fight the urge to take a step back, when unarmed man in front of them stood up from his chair.

King of smugglers being polite:
Dietrich (when meeting with David): “So you decided to waste my time twice a day? I´m honoured by such an interest.”
Despite being alone (and considering his habits, probably unarmed) in the lonely, dark park with experienced assassin, Dietrich acted like they were having a dinner in noble restaurant.
David: “How is Jack?” he asked sharply, ignoring the polite ways of the boss of smugglers. Dietrich smiled and pointed to the seat next to him. Sighing, David obeyed.
Dietrich: “As per my information, Jack´s state is stabilized,” Dietrich said calmly like he was referring a weather forecast. “Which means that doctors aren´t sure yet if he lives or not.”

Nothing is for free:
David: “If anyone else asks about Jack´s condition, could you tell that it´s worse?”
Dietrich (nodding): “I´ll send you the bill.”
David: “Could you let me know when it´s anything new with Jack?”
Dietrich (grinning): “I´ll send you the bill for that too.”

Max being a bad cop:
Max: “Nice to see you, honey. You left me wait pretty long.”
Karin: “You know, annual Mafia´s party took longer than usually,” she joked. “I have another offer for you. I need a file of one cop. Nothing too serious.”
Max: “Why should I help you? I´m not working for the underworld, if you remember.”
Karin: “Sweetheart, if that blond guy in hospital dies, I´ll be the Queen of Assassins. You should do as I wish.”
Max: “I´m not like other cops you know, chick. You can be as dangerous as you want but don´t mess with me. I´m not a good cop.”

Jack being bored after leaving the hospital:
David: “My boss,” he said quietly, before kneeling on one knee.
Jack: “I hope that you don´t expect me to praise you for killing one of my men.”
David: “You are my boss, I just did my duty.”
Jack: “I know. It´s good to know that at least one of my people is loyal.”

Preparation before battle:
Karin: “Do you know what´s going on?”
David: “No.”
Karin: “Nice.”

Moments before wiping three Black Panther squads away:
David (to Karin): “Let me know if you shoot Max too. I´ll give you cash to buy a wreath.”

Max in the middle of gunfire:
Hopefully, criminals already moved away. Only they didn´t. His hope was shot by a man who appeared in front of one building. Max shot him without moment of hesitation and kept walking. It wasn´t good time to feel sympathy for Mafiosi. It was time to die.

Unexpected visitor:
Reiner: “I´d like to talk to you. May I come in?”
Max: “Sure,” Max let him pass before locking the door again. He followed the colleague into the living room. Reiner, to his surprise, immediately sat on the sofa and watched Max with strange expression. Owner of the flat decided to ignore it and just shrug. “Yeah, sit down. Why no.”

Even in the presence of someone else, you can be lonely:
Jack (thinking about his relationship with Keeth): Even with mind clouded by lust, I know many things. I know that no matter how many gifts you give me, no matter how many nights we spend together and no matter how many times you kiss me… you´ll never tell me ´I love you´. I know that and you have to know too. And yet, here we are, lost in the presence of each other.

Some things are worthy to be fought for:
Max shifted on his bed and rolled to his side. At least he tried but warm weight prevented him from doing so. Reiner was basically laying on him, using Max´s chest like a pillow. The other man would rather bite his tongue off that to complain.
Grinning like mad, Max ran his fingers through Reiner´s black hair. After their first night, there weren´t many other but he used every change he got to pick up his colleague. It probably wasn´t very professional but Max did it 99% of time anyways.

Drug War:
No years, no armies, just one night and soldiers without any uniforms. It´s hard to tell who is on whose side, who´s enemy and who´s ally. Night falls on the Silversign city, soaking it with both rain and blood. Never before were wars in the underworld like this. Never before…

Crimelord is dead:
Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. The pattern makes him calm and panic in the same time. This isn´t time to freak out. He can be scared later. He can drown in bitter regret later. Not now. Not now. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale…

Running away from a crime scene:
Ignoring his own car (which was stolen, recolored, registered on non-existent name and wearing false numbers) David pulled Jack towards Porsche waiting down the driveway. Even if it was registered on false name, it could attract attention if left on the place of murder.

Girls don´t like sharing their toys:
Karin: “Deals with cops. That´s good, at least we won´t need Max´s help anymore.”
David: “What happened with him?”
Karin: “Dunno. Conscience or something like that. It seems that close encounter with death made him realize that he´s gay and he found his soul mate in his captain Reiner Kraft. ” Last worlds, she spitted out like a curse. “Could you believe it? He decided to be gay. That sucks.”
David: “Poor you… You´d have dumped him anyway.”

Right reason to risk:
Dietrich: “You´re the crimelord now. You can´t afford having weaknesses.”
David: “You´re not my weakness,” was an automatic response and it turned to be the wrong one when Dietrich jumped out of the bed and started dressing up hastily. “Wait!” David stood too, pulled trousers on and grabbed Dietrich shoulder. “It´s just-“
Dietrich: “Don´t.” One look from Dietrich was enough to silence him. “You saw what happened to Keeth and Jack. If you really want to risk fate like that you should at least risk it for someone whom you love.”

Weaknesses:
David knew what it ends like if you have weaknesses while living in the underworld. And yet, he pulled so many strings to protect that stubborn young cop who used to be his prisoner.
And even if he had a weakness, (a cute, blue eyed weakness), it was worth the risk.

Peace after war:
To care about somebody is dangerous. Is makes people vulnerable. But is also gives them strength and David wasn´t going to back off this time. He was risking for the right reason. For the right person. The person, who appeared to be sitting on his couch, eating his chips and watching his TV.
David: “Shall we go?” It still felt strange to date a cop but it was his cop. His sweet, stubborn, beautiful, manipulative, clever, bad, very bad cop. “Come on.”
Rene: Rene laughed and stood up, allowing the older man to help him into his jacket.
David: “Come,” David continued, “I´ve never been on date with a cop. I wanna have some fun.”
