Double update??? Omg??? Yass???
----------------

You fixed yourself, grabbing up some clothes and slipping them on before combing through your hair with a yawn.

"Yeah I'll make a note to get more sleep today..."

You rub your eyes and stare at yourself in the mirror a bit, noticing the darkish circles around your eyes.

"This isn't a good look for me."

You splashed some cold water on your face, blinking a few times before grabbing up your bag and card walking from the room.

You made your way to the elevator, nearly bumping into a group of men walking towards you.

"Excuse me.."

They all stared at you silently, causing an uneasiness to rise inside of you as the elevator doors closed.

You rubbed your arm, looking around the empty elevator as it slowed and stopped at the lobby.

You walked out, looking around before spotting Tsuru and making your way over to her.

"Tsuru?"

"Hm?"

She turned around, a smile making it's way to her face as she held up a cup of coffee and a bag of muffins.

"Good morning dear, I brought you something. I know how tired you looked when I went up a few hours ago, so I got you a little caffeine."

She chuckled, handing you the warm cup that you gratefully accepted.

"Thank you.."

You took a few drinks, smiling slightly as the warm liquid eased in your throat.

"Now about the two of them?"

"Oh yes don't think I forgot."

She made her way to the stairs, gesturing you to follow as she made her way up.

You followed up after her, watching her open a door and go in as you did the same.

She closed it behind her and turned on a few lights, lighting up the room.

"I kept all the papers on their antics..and pictures.."

She sat down in a chair by the table next to the door, you sitting down and looking over the room.

"Can you tell me some things maybe?"

"Mhm, of course."

She stood up and grabbed  some pictures before she sat back down.

"This is one of the two of them when they were younger, around the ages of ten and eleven. They were little rascals around that time, especially the Donquixote. He'd do anything to get on little Crocodile's nerves."

She smiled and looked at you.

"They both had a temperament about them, always expected something and if it wasn't up to par something wasn't going to go well..that's when people from the neighborhoods started to go missing...those who threw aside their titles and thought of them as nothing more than brats.."

"Everyone eventually started catching on, when the two of them were seen together it was always a sign someone wasn't going to wake up the next morning..Doflamingo even took up on being an arsonist for a few years..even smoking out Crocodile."

She glanced at the familiar news article you'd seen prior to today. The same smoked out building next to the article.

"The two of them fought like cats and dogs when they got older...and they probably still do now."

"Yeah..you have no idea."

You chuckled shaking your head slightly as you scribbled down more of her words.

"Now that they're older now, going on fifty that Crocodile is, I'd hope they started acting mature...I know how the both of them are but, I see good in them sometimes..or maybe its just because I still see them as babies.."

She shrugs.

"Don't know what it is but they drive me crazy..."

"I bet they would seeing all the trouble they caused you, but hey its what kids do no?"

"True, little heathens.."

She grinned, checking the clock.

"Well, I'll need to get back to work, if you need help with anything else you're free to come by anytime."

"Thank you for talking to me Ms. Tsuru."

"No dear, thank you for letting me talk."

You stepped out of the room, watching her lock the door back before walking to the lobby.

"And its Tsuru, not Ms."

---

You sat in your room, turning to the news as you flicked the lamp beside the bed on.

"Lets see.."

You flipped through your notes from earlier, transmitting them to the file on the computer as you listened in to the television.

"Must have been a drug cartel somewhere in the city of Manhattan-"
"Three men were spotted near the scene, suspects of the trade-"

"Looks like D crew is going to be working hard today.."

You hummed, your phone suddenly ringing a unfamiliar tone.

You looked at the number and blinked, picking it up and declining before sitting it down beside you on the bed.

When you heard the strange tune again you picked up, pressing the phone to your ear.

"Hello..."

"Jesus..how long does it take for you to answer your goddamn phone..."

You sighed at the voice, rolling your eyes as you positioned your shoulder to hold it as you continued the transfer.

"Crocodile I didn't know it was you.."

"I know I'm calling from a booth a few minutes away from the bar, I saw some guys walk in asking for you. I'm just trying to warn you about this shit, you're in it now and there isn't a way out.."

"Crocodile what the hell are you talking about?"

You sat up in bed and listened to him take in a deep breath.

"The news, did you listen to it?"

"Yes I'm watching it right now.."

"Good, then you've heard of that drug cartel thing haven't you?"

"Yeah.."

"Those weren't just men those were Doflamingo's henchmen...those drug packages are laced with explosive ammunition..."

"Wait wait wait...how do you know?"

"I have lackeys for a reason.."

You got up from the bed and made your way to the window, opening up the blinds.

"Where did they put the packages?"

"Beside my bar, I had to get everyone out, but the police came before anything was set off."

"You're okay then?"

"No, I'm telling this to you as I lay on my death bed...yes I'm okay imbecile.."

You frowned and rolled your eyes.

"Okay, so are we still meeting up tonight?"

"Yes, but we'll have to move locations..."

"Where to?"

"Your place."
