Fallen souls [Eustass X Reader]

Chapter 31: Phone calls

*Kid's Pov*

"This - This can't be right! How do- how do they know?" Kenzie's face was taken over by fear as she slowly handed the paper to Victor with shaky hands. He yanked the sheet and looked over it intensely.

"I see this might be more personal then I thought." Before either me or Killer had a chance to ask he held the paper over the flame as the page caught fire.

"HEY! What the hell was on that?" I tired reaching for the page but instead he took a step back with the paper in hand while it burned. He held it till just the cornor remined then dropped it out the window.

"Its a secret that only ______ gets to tell, apparently someone on your ship knows more about her then I had originally thought. But thats no surprise, most of your crew is from the south blue correct?" I thought about the question for a bit before turning to Killer to see if he knew.

"I dont even know the answer to that one." Killer shrugged his arms.

"Anyone from the North blue can be considered a suspect as of now so I'd suggest finding out. Now Kenzie i think its about time you call your Captain."

"What about this issue?" He still seemed hesitant to call her.

"We'll have to put it on hold, besides you made him leave most of his crew on board I don't see them being an issue right now." I was getting impatient with them both, sitting here doing nothing just pissed me off.

Finally he opened a drawer on the desk and pulled out a transponder snail. It rang a bit longer then I expected but eventually the clank signifying she picked up was heard.

"Hello?" It sounded like she had just woken up.

"Captain! Its Kenzie I was calling to update you. Eustass Kid and his crew have arrived and docked Victor is also here!" His voice had completely changed from how he spoke to us, it was more cheerful like someone who enjoys kissing ass. I rolled my eyes at him then whispered to Killer.

"He sounds like a chick!"

"Kid.... HE is a chick." I looked at her surprise by the fact, then I heard ____ on the other end.

"Tis, can't you tell them I'm sleeping, im still not in the mood."  I felt my eye twitch after she finished her statement, Victor had a smirk on his face then took the responder and answered for him.

"Hey ______ its Victor I should let you know that your Captain and killer are here in the room." He still wore a smile on his face while we waited for a reply.

*clank*

"DID SHE JUST HANG UP!"

*Your pov*

I put the responder back onto the receiver and stood there in utter shock.

'I'm dead!'

Kid was furious last time we had talked there no telling how pissed he'll be to find out I've been avoiding him. I wasn't scared or anything I just wanted him to think about why I was upset. Although that might makes me more childish but I didn't care i was also upset with him.

I sat back on the bed and glared at the snail on the counter. I fell on my side and was starting to close my eyes when the sound of the snail ringing caused me to jump. I shot up and picked it back up.

"Look I'm sorry but can I please take a nap."

"_____ it's been a while."

"Who is this?" The voice was eerily familiar but the snail always make voices come through slightly different.

"No need to worry about that, we'll meet again very soon. I was just checking on where you were. How are you I heard you had a fight with Kid?"

"How-"

"How did I know? ____ I make it my job to be aware what happens to you."

"What do you want?"

"You have it the wrong way, its what you need from me." I sat down on a barstool at the counter

"And what would that be."

"I know you're looking for the poneglyph's and I have one."  I gripped the responder hard enough to almost break it.

"Where?!"

"Thats not how this works, if you want the page- you'll have to leave the pirate  group and join me instead." I couldn't respond i don't wanna to leave- but finding the truth was something I needed to do.

"Why me?"

"Dont play dumb i know you're close to being able to read the text. I don't want to deal with trying to find and capture Nico Robin. Not when I can just help you put the pieces together."

"Who are you? Only two people knew what I was doing, they are both dead now so how?"

" I work for the world government, not the Marines meaning I get the information I need and ill take the necessary precautions to complete my missions. I would think of all people you would know what I mean."

"What happens if I denied your offer?" My hands had become sweaty and my head was racing.

"Well tell me something _____ what happened last time you denied the world government what they wanted."
I could feel my legs starting to shake as fear creeped up my spine. I gripped my knee to steady myself.

"What do you want me to do?"

*Kid's pov*

An hour had past since we had called _____ and Kenzie refused to call her back, she didn't want to disturb her while she rested. Me and Killer were placed in a huge room with two separate beds and were told not to leave. But I had grown reatless nobody tells me what to do!

"Im done playing this game let's go!" I had Killer get up and follow me as I used my power to knock the door down. It made a loud sound and I heard a bunch of men yelling and marching coming from down the hallway.

"I guess we're going back to the office to talk to Victor and Kenzie." Killer pointed the other way towards the office, we both took off down the hall and found the door. I use the same trick and the door fell without any difficulty. On the otherside I saw _____ sitting at the desk with Victor over her shoulder and Kenzie standing at the side of the desk.

"WHAT THE HELL ______!"  I was pissed id been waiting for her to explain everything and here she was sitting calmly talking to everyone but me.

"Where have you been? Why the hell are we even here I'm getting fed up with this." She stood up from her desk and something struck me as odd.

"Sorry Captain didn't mean to keep you waiting. I'm just finishing up here." She pick up a folder and handed it to me.

"Hold onto this is has all the information you ever need." She kept her distance and her voice and expressions where cold and her eyes seemed void of anything I was familiar with.

"And an explanation NOW! what is this?"

"You're right an explanation is in order so, please sit down its a long story."
