Smooth Criminal (La Squadra x Reader)

Chapter 4

After word got out that Polpo, the capo who was the most likely to be ordered to protect the boss' daughter, Trish, had shot himself in the head, the hitman team decided to take action.

Although Formaggio was the team's first attempt at retrieving the girl for information, you volunteered to go with him, in the case that something happened to him and he wasn't able to report any information back to the gang.

"So, we're looking for a stand user. Preferably someone from Polpo's gang," Formaggio broke the silence.

You hummed in response. The grey-haired man had suggested that you two walk around outside in search of someone who seemed like a member of the gang that was guarding the boss' daughter or, in simpler terms, a suspicious stand user.

"Doesn't it feel like we're on a date?"

You hummed again, barely registering his words as your eyes scanned the area for anything out of the ordinary.

"Right? Maybe we should go out," he exclaimed.

You hummed, examining every pedestrian and drivers of cars that passed you by.

"Nice! I'm gonna brag about this when we get back," he exclaimed.

"You're loud," you complained. "Look, the kid driving that car has been driving in circles for a while now. He keeps looking at his rear-view mirror."

He sighed, "And you finally gave me attention, too." Formaggio looked in the direction that you were pointing, "I think that's Narancia. Maybe he thinks he's being followed. He could be our guy."

"Do you need help?" you offered. Since, originally, Polpo, a stand user, was tasked with guarding the boss' daughter, it would be no surprise that the person guarding her now was also a strong stand user.

Formaggio pat your head, "Let me handle it, I don't wanna put you in danger. This is my mission anyway; you're just here to report back if I can't. I'll meet you at his car."

You nodded and kept your distance from the car, making sure to stay out of view.

Formaggio used his stand, Little Feet, to become small enough to get into the young boy's car before he drove off.

Once you got tired of waiting, you started walking in the direction that Narancia's car had driven. Thankfully, Formaggio was still alive when you'd gotten there. He was crouched on the ground, speaking to a bottle.

"I really don't want to see a person end up melted and eaten by a spider," he said.

"Then don't," you chimed in, peering over his shoulder.

Narancia noticed you and called out with a quiet, high-pitched voice, "A woman! Hey, help me get out of here!"

You clicked your tongue, "No can do, little orange. Not until you give up your team."

Narancia's eyes widened, but he said nothing. He tried to stab the spider that he was trapped in the bottle with when it came for him. However, that backfired when the spider shot its webs out at him.

"It bit him!" Formaggio exclaimed.

Noticing something in the bottle that wasn't there before, you squinted your eyes and pointed at it, "That's nice and all, but what's that?"

"Hm?" Formaggio picked it out of the bottle and recognized it to be a map with various markings. "A vineyard! He came from a vineyard that's about twenty kilometers southeast!"

You nodded at him before you headed in the direction of the vineyard while he held Narancia back, doing as you two had planned on doing prior to commencing the mission.
