Okay so to make it up for the not update made this chapter as soon as possible :)
~Lucy's POV
I smiled in satisfaction when I got Natsu to sleep. I never thought I could. I don't know which of us was more stubborn, but we both for sure are it.
I went to the main hall in search for Gajeel. When I found him I tapped on his shoulder. "Did Jessica say something?"
He looked grumpy... oh wait, he always does. Never mind then.
"Something about Mr. Han. I am looking for information about him."
I raised my eyebrow, letting my disbelief take over. I gestured for what was in front of him.
"You are... eating something that looks like iron. How is that 'looking for?' Because it isn't."
He glared at me. Everybody has been tensed about Nash's kidnapping.
Well, the people who knew Nash personally. They are more aware and on guard than ever before. The members were also trying to improve their security and everything.
Or for some it didn't affect them at all. But they were helping.
I looked back at Gajeel and he was still giving me that dead look. "Listen here, bunny girl—"
"Lucy, my name is Lucy," I said irritated. He always calls me bunny girl. At least say a nice nickname.
"We are trying the best we can. And with the best I mean the best we can do without compromising ourselves. We also need to sleep, to eat."
I nodded, agreeing with him. I was constantly stressed about this situation. Sometime I managed to chuckle but the fear in my heart remains.
"You're right. But could you make it as fast as possible?" I asked sweetly.
"No," he deadpanned.
This time I glared at him and smacked him on his arm. "Yes," I said through gritted teeth, "You will."
We had a stare battle or whatever. I know Gajeel will never go physical with me.
Is this the way Natsu commands them?
With a cold shoulder or authoritative voice?
If so, am I doing this right?
I don't know. I never ordered Natsu to go to sleep and I would take over for a while. I always helped him or when he let me he helped me. I was alone now. I can't depend on him for such a simple thing. Simple.. for him.. not for me.
Gajeel looked away and scowled, "Why the fuck has Natsu taught you that stare?" he mumbled.
I smirked and flipped my hair behind me, "So I can command people."
I knew he got the message and walked away.
I went to Natsu's office and went on his laptop. I saw the new video I already watched. Nash is smart, I already knew that.
Levy taught me how to use their security system and all. She hacked into the police's system so I could supervise what everyone was doing.
There were cameras everywhere.
I saw the same police officer I talked to when I had to take Natsu out. She was talking to her partner I guess.
"What is happening for Pete's sake? We have to arrest the Dragneel guy. Why can't nobody see he is dangerous?" the girl groaned out in frustation.
How much are the odds that exactly when I watch they will talk about Natsu?
One.
And it happened.
The guy embraced her and tried to calm her down. "We will, just have patience."
"I can't! Who knows what he is doing now. The thought of a billionaire being part of the mafia kills me. He's fucking clever to use his status as a reason he could be seen in public. They only think of their group and theirselves. Everyone who stands in their way will be murdered."
I chuckled. "That's why you shouldn't mess with our plans or try at all."
"Listen, we have picked up a video. Look."
He let her see a video on his laptop. The screen was directed the way of the camera so I could see it. My eyes went wide when I saw the video. It was the same new video about Nash.
Shit!
"Isn't that Dragneel's son?"
The guy cop nodded.
I immediately clicked on record. This was important.
Chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets!
I dialed the crew's number. With one call I could contact everyone in our crew, the benefits of technology.
"Office now," I spoke and ended it. No explanation over the phone.
"Natsu Dragneel, if you ever want your son back I suggest you give your power to us," the man in the video said.
"See! Prove! Evidence! Why don't we go arresting that criminal? We have enough fucking prove over all those years," the girl cop said and continued, "They are holding his son captive to threaten him. That must mean something bad!"
I raised my eyebrow. Doesn't that say something more about the kidnappers than about Natsu?
The man seemed to think about it. "But he didn't kill just innocent people, did he?"
The woman shook her head. "He killed other murderers and people who had hurt him or were doing something bad."
"So he didn't kill just random people. I think there is more to the story than that," the man said slowly, rubbing his non-existent beard.
"Well, what do you think there is behind?" the girl said annoyed, partially mocking him.
"I think family is important to him and will kill everyone who hurt them. He said that earlier, didn't he?"
"So? He could be lying."
"But his actions spoke the truth," the guy said. He played the video again. Then finally he stood up.
A hard face took over his earlier gentle features. "I say we arrest him when we know he found the kid."
"What? Why? Every second here wasted can be the death of someone."
Shut the fuck up, bitch.
The male cop grabbed his partner by the shoulders, looking sternly at her.
"Don't let your fury be the one that controls your mind. You think he would kill other people rather than saving his son? Only real fathers are giving the title of a dad. The kid's face was full of admiration in every interview. I believe Dragneel wants to save him."
Finally someone of them with common knowledge, or logic.
The female cop crossed her arms, an angry frown plastered on her face.
"If you were in a mafia and you had a son who is kidnapped, would you rather try to save him or kill 'random' people?"
"Fine," she snapped.
Then I stopped the recorder and clicked away their conversation. I knew where thay would lead to.
Make out session.
Funny, how they supposedly have found evidence from years ago and still didn't do anything to stop him.
How tough the woman tries to be I saw through her. She wants to stop killing and actually has a soft heart. She just has this tough exterior but inside she is so frightened to go against Natsu.
Yay, more worries. Now we have to worry about the police intruding this.
Finally the crew entered and found me behind Natsu's desk.
"What's going on?" Mira asked concerned.
I showed them the recorded video of the cops' conversation.
"They are following us and getting pretty close," Jellal said, no hint of fear in his voice though.
Suddenly I laughed like a maniac.
"What?" Laxus asked, confused. His arms were crossed and he was giving an intimidating look. He always does.
"I find it so funny how people think they could capture us and mess with us," I told them, calming down.
Suddenly my eyes were narrowed and I had a serious look.
"They can't."
Everyone nodded, agreeing with me.
I turned to Gray. "Can you make sure Natsu's men in the police will delete that video?"
He nodded, quickly taking his phone out and making a call.
"Information about that Han guy," I said to Gajeel.
"He isn't good at hiding his info. I found him in Poop Tail's database."
Poop Tail? Bruh.
Everyone didn't look surprised by how he named Raven Tail though.
"He's an assassin and was hired to kidnap Nash with a big cash amount as reward," Gajeel told me.
Zeref's eyes went dark. "Well then, let's pay Mr. Han a visit."
