~Nobody's POV (in the mafia)
It was the next day and Natsu was looking on the screen of his laptop like the last past few hours.
He never went to sleep, he just couldn't. He had yet to get the information from Jellal. It was around 9:00 pm on a Sunday, normally he would still be sleeping.
He was furiously typing on his laptop, still doing his normal work but once a fifteen minutes he would stop and look for information about Raven Tail.
Soon Erza came in and handed him a cup of coffee. She had a neutral look on her face, even though she knew he never slept.
Erza and Natsu were having a brother-sister relationship by now. Erza helped him in times he needed support, of course others, like Lucy did too, but Erza had that wise look. She fought alongside with him on missions and even gave him advice.
"Thanks," Natsu spoke but never took a glance at her. Erza stood behind the desk and saw that he was trying to hack something.
He couldn't.
He became so frustated he smacked his keyboard, breaking the unpeaceful silence. He breathed loudly, closing his eyes in frustration. He can't lose a single second.
Erza placed a hand on his shoulder, from behind. "Slow down, breath," she whispered. "Oxygen is important to keep the mind sane," she repeated what he had always told everyone.
Natsu gritted his teeth but did what she told him to. He looked at his laptop again and thought of something.
He smacked his face, groaning for not thinking of it. He dialed a number and soon Levy's voice came over.
"Hello?" Her voice was sleepy. Natsu probably woke her up.
Natsu didn't spare a single second. "Levy, I need you to come to the mafia immediately."
Levy tsked. "You suspended me, didn't you? I still didn't fix the 'stupid' mistake."
Natsu rolled his eyes but he knew she was right. Now he was just contradicting himself.
"First of all, it was a stupid mistake. But that's not important. Do you know what happened?" Natsu asked carefully.
"Uhh yeah, duh. I made a mistake and three files have been spread." The way she spoke to him... Natsu hated it. He's not talking to her as a friend, he's talking to her as her leader who deserves respect.
"Did Gajeel tell you anything yesterday?"
There was a small breathing though the phone, but Natsu interrupted her before she could even answer. "Doesn't matter if he did or didn't. Nash is kidnapped and I need you to hack into the police's system."
Levy yelled through the phone when she heard the news. Natsu groaned and distanced the phone on his ear.
"Why didn't you tell me in the first place?!! Stupid bastard, I'm coming," there could be heard rushing from Levy. Natsu gulped down all the coffee.
She ended the call before Natsu could respond. Natsu looked at the phone, narrowing his eyes slightly. "Stupid bastard? Well damn."
Natsu stood up and walked to the door. He looked back at where Erza was. She was already behind Natsu's laptop. Focusing and typing fastly.
Natsu knew what she was doing, "Thank you, Erza."
Then he left and went to the room Lucy slept in. Much to his surprise Lucy was already awake and sitting on the bed.
Her eyes went to his when he stepped into the room. Natsu leaned against the wall and sighed, "Sorry for yelling at you, you didn't need that in this situation," Natsu said.
Lucy shook her head, her eyes still red. "I understand."
Natsu's eyes widened a tiny little bit, "You do? But you can be mad at me, I derserve it for being so harsh. I shouldn't have said that you shouldn't cry, it's normal. You can punish me if you want."
Lucy stood up and walked to him. Her aura was calm, but it hid a storm.
"I do understand. But you could have said it differently, especially in that sort of situation. And you're saying you aren't normal? Because you didn't cry."
Natsu had a stingy feeling inside his chest. He know he doesn't cry as often as other people, but he still cries. The only different is that you can't hear his...
She stood in front of Natsu and raised her hand. She slapped him on the cheek. Natsu let her do it and his face whipped to the side a little bit.
Then she smacked his chest and then again the cheek.
He opened his mouth and made moves with it, feeling the sting. He moved his hand to his jaw. "Okay, I deserve it. Done?"
Lucy nodded whipped her hand in the air, "That felt nice, you should let me slap you more often."
Natsu chuckled a little bit. "If you want to." It didn't hurt at all. It was hard, but it only left a tiny sting that would go away in an instant.
Lucy hugged him tightly. "Did you already find some information?"
Natsu sighed, knowing Lucy would ask it. "Sort of, I'm working on it." He kissed her hair and then looked her in the eye.
A wave of sincery flashed through his eyes. He was making a promise, a promise through the eyes.
Lucy looked away and a light blush covered her cheeks. She knew what he was promising her.
"I'll do everything I can. I will sacrifice everything I have to save him."
Lucy's eyes went to him in an instant. "Didn't you know it? They want the power that Fairy Tail holds."
Natsu's eyes turned into splits. "I won't hand it over, in fact, I won't hand anything over that has to do with my family."
Lucy put her head against his chest, "Not even to save Nash?" she wanted to know the answer. The difficult answer of the question.
In Natsu's eyes flashed a little bit of pain. "No, not even for Nash."
Lucy wanted to pull back. Nash and Natsu mean everything to her, she would if that was the only choice.
Natsu pulled her head up by lifting her chin with his hand. "If the enemy were to have the power we hold, the money, the connections, everything, then it isn't going to end well for anyone. I won't be selfish with them. Not after everything they helped me conquer. I owe them at least my loyalty."
Lucy slowly nodded in understanding. Of course. Their mafia is a mafia that won't just threaten and kill everyone, only the bad guys who are stopping their business. Other mafias are merciless.
Natsu's eyes were suddenly very threatening. "However, I won't hold back my power to destroy Raven Tail."
Before Lucy could respond the door flew open. Levy came in with fear in her eyes. "Levy-chan? What has happened?" Lucy asked curious.
Natsu didn't waste a single second and immediately went to Levy with Lucy by his side.
They followed Levy till his office. She went behind the laptop. Natsu gritted his teeth when he saw what was on it.
Natsu's crew, Gray, Gajeel, Jellal, Laxus, Erza, Mira, Juvia, Levy and Lucy were on the wanted list. The police have found the list of the members. They couldn't crack all of it, only the important ones.
"Shit," Lucy said with her eyes wide. Natsu pulled out his phone. An app was there where he could see the area of his house. "The police are at my house. I have to warn the rest and Zeref and Wendy."
He immediately called everyone amd told it.
He went on the laptop and saw another thing. That the police must capture them at all cost. It is an important mission, but only a few cops know it.
"Levy, is there any chance you could remove this and everything that has anything to do with this?"
Natsu wouldn't want a no answer. And if she couldn't, then she better finds a way.
"I'll see what I can do. It will take some hours but I know I can do it."
Natsu clicked his tongue irritated, not at her, but at the police for sticking their nose into their business. He knows it is their job, but still.
"You better."
Levy felt the anger radiating from him. Levy slowly shook her thought away. "By the way. I have found nothing interesting yet."
Natsu glared at her, "Then don't fucking say shit."
Lucy rubbed slow circles on his back, trying to calm him a little bit.
Natsu dialed his men who were working in the police.
"Have you seen it?" he asked when they answered the call.
"Yeah. I belong to one of the cops who know about it," someone said through the phone.
Natsu smirked. Knew that choosing them working undercover was a good choice. His men were good enough for them to be considered trustworthy for such an important mission.
"You know what to do? We have someone trying to work on it too, but we don't have time to put all our focus on that." Everyone in the room listened to Natsu and his conversation with his men. "Keep Jellal updated about your activities like always."
"Of course, sir. I heard the news about your son. Beware of Raven Tail, they have dirty tricks up their sleeves."
Natsu narrowed his eyes. "And so do we," he said as he ended the call.
He walked away along with Lucy.
They went to the hallway and Natsu leaned against the wall. His eyes were giving nothing away. "You okay?" Lucy asked worried.
"To be honest, no, I am not. Nash is kidnapped and I can't do anything right now. Do you know how helpless I feel right now?"
Lucy nodded sadly, "I do, I really do. But we have to wait for information, patiently. We have to believe it will be alright." Her words were trying to make him relax a tiny little bit, however, it got the opposite effect.
Natsu pushed himself off from the wall, "I can't fucking wait. Why won't you understand that? This isn't a movie where everything will fall into place at the end. We have to work for that to happen. I can't sit around and do nothing. Nash is my responsibility. I was the one who brought you two into this life, I will fight back," Natsu said fast and frustated.
He walked off into the other direction. His hands in his pockets and he was very furious. About himself.
Lucy stared at his retreating figure. She clenched her hands and her eyes were already moist.
"Nash is also my responsibility! Don't think that just because you pulled us into it you will do it alone! Because you won't. I will fight by your side and get Nash back, even if it is the last thing I do."
"I know, Lucy. I know."
