Beidou x Ningguang{Mafia!AU}: Partner's In Crime

Third-Person POV:

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

"This is poison. Not juice. Remember that."

     Beidou raised a brow and played with the bottle. "You do know I don't kill quietly." Her voice echoed in the dark, gloomy room. A table separated the two, Ningguang stared into Beidou's eyes. She took a huff from her pipe and blew it on her face. "Ehem..."

     With a quizzical look, Beidou remained unfazed, totally not persuaded by the rich woman's offer. Ningguang chuckled lightly, "I'll give you a reward if you do this tonight. You do know my gifts are greater than the last." The spy's sole eye lit up, she knew what this reward was about.

     "Fine, I'll do it. Make sure you pay me enough." She put the poison in her pocket, stood up, and walked to the door. Until she abruptly stopped, turned her heel, and tilted her head. "So serious... not even a little goodbye?"

     "Come then." Ningguang lifted a finger and pointed at her cheek. Beidou giddily jumped and ran to her. She leaned in and gave her a light peck.

     "Okay see you later babe!"

...

Beidou walked to the warehouse. She would've bought a lovely gun and shot anyone on sight. But no, Ningguang wanted her to use poison out of all things to assassinate the target. It was a simple task of giving it to the sad little client that made her boss upset.

     Her hand took the piece of paper out of her pocket, an ugly picture of a man in a suit flashed in front of her. Her face contorted and she folded the picture and placed it back in her pants. This was strange, why a warehouse? Absolutely not a place for a fancy party. As she approached the entrance, loud booming music crept up to her ears. Oh. It was a party.

     She looked out of place with the all-black leather clothing and eyepatch. Instead of attending a club party, people would consider she mistaken this for a Halloween event. The crowd was rowdy, some were dancing like it was their last day, some wasted and passed out. And the ever-so disgusting couples eating each other's faces off.

     Eye scanned the area, she grabbed a drink to make herself less obvious.

     What would an asshole that pissed my boss off and rich as fuck do in this garbage dump? Even I've seen better places to party than this shithole.

     "Hey lass' enjoying the party?" Beidou jumped and smiled at the man. A smirk threatened to form on her face when she noticed it was her target.

     "Yep it's awesome, drinks aren't bad, they'd rival some rich clubs if you ask me."

     "Interesting choice of clothes... I won't complain as long as we're enjoying, all is well," he took a plastic cup and stood beside her. The gears in her head began to turn and she reached out for her pocket, just a small drop in his cup and this would all be over.

     "Yeah..."

     "So what's the password?"

     "Password?" She questioned in confusion.

     The man's warm smile faltered as he raised his hands and clapped. In a second, the doors immediately shut. The music disconnected and the flickering lights turned off. Everyone ceased with their antics and turned to Beidou. Of course, it was a fucking trap. Her target cleared his throat and crossed his arms.

     "Lookie here lil miss spy, we knew that crone would send an assassin to kill me. But it seems the old hag underestimated us. I mean what made you think strolling in here wearing that kinda shit would fool us?"
