Brook X GN Reader || I'm The Grim Reaper

Chapter 38

The familiar abandoned building was once again in Scarlets presence. "...You didn't show up last month. We thought you died. You're lucky we had nothing else to do today, or we just would have skipped." "Heehee, well, we needed to make our quota, too..." The two Red Spade members spoke. "I guess I can't be too mad at you though, you look like you've been through hell... Like, you're super pale. Did ya catch somethin' bad?"

Scarlet looked up at them through her mask, sweating. The wig she was wearing resembled Ana's hair very closely, but it was also very uncomfortable.

"...You'll dress up as Ana, attend the drug deal, and get as much information as possible. This is the perfect chance to try and find out where their sales records are located. If we can find those, we can figure out why you're so deeply in debt with them." "Okay. Let's just assume that the Red Spades members are completely blind and can't tell it's just me in a wig- you're overlooking one key oversight. I'm stupid." "You don't need to be smart. All you need to do is talk. Say weird things. Anything that could provoke some kind of reaction. I'll be hiding within earshot- You'll be able to count on me to remember all the information. And if they figure out it's you, and the meeting starts to go south... Well, it's up to you on how you should deal with it."

'Just try to provoke a reaction, Scarlet...' She stared at them. "Yeah, sorry I was late, my son died." She said nonchalantly, and both of them deadpanned at her. "Y-yeah. He got sick. And I didn't want to get you sick. So that's why I'm wearing this." "Well, that sucks! But If you need some meds, we are still behind quota for the week..." "Yeah, you'll get over it. Hundreds of people drop dead in the streets every day! Just glad it wasn't me!"

"..You can get me medication? Won't that take too long?" "Too long? Nah! The warehouse is down the street!" "Oh my god, shut up! That's top-secret, you'll get us fired, or worse!" The other scolded him for letting that slip. "What, don't yell at me! She's a sick mom, that's not even a threat!" "It doesn't matter if she's not a threat! That's where we keep all the records!" Scarlet watched the two yell at each other. 'This is going oddly well..'

"Okay, okay, let's just stop! We still have to complete the transaction for the dream foil! Dreamfoil is $30. Cheapest anywhere. After we got this transaction done, we can talk about the meds." '$30? I thought drugs would be expensive...' Scarlet ruffled in the cloak that was around her, covering her outfit. The man looked at her. "..You're forgetting something, you know..." Scarlet looked up at him.

"...no, I'm not forgetting anything... I have the money." "..The code. You haven't told us the code." The woman stated. "..o-oh, right... the code... It's just... so obvious I've told you a million times. I didn't think I needed to tell you it." Scarlet said, trying to get out of the situation. "...And me telling you it is just gonna take up more time, so..." She looked to the side. "..Let's just... complete the deal and I'll be on my way.."

"Why ya acting so damn suspicious? If ya don't tell us the code, then by the Red Spade rules, we'll have to get rid of ya." The man put both of his hands in the pockets of his jacket. Scarlet remained silent and they started walking toward her. She was ready to form her scythe, her energy being shown clearly. They stopped. "Turn around, walk away, and pretend I was never here."

The woman's eyes widened and she turned towards the man who was still in his original place. "Call the boss! Now! It's--" Her sentence was cut off by Scarlet behind her, slicing at her. The man's eyes widened as he turned around and began to run away. "Fuck! Shit! Fuck!!" He reached into his pocket to grab his phone and started calling this boss, his hand on his head as he ran. "Pick up... Pick up!"

"Hey, the boss is out right now. What's up?" Brook asked from the other side of the phone. The man stopped in a room out of Scarlet's eyesight he hoped to catch his breath and talk. He turned behind him and Scarlet was walking towards him, scythe in hand. "T-The. Grim Reaper is here.." The man said with wide eyes, his voice trembling. She quickly stabbed him. '..Well, that could have gone better... But I guess I got two sinners out of the way without any issues-'

"..Did you say.. The.. Other reaper is there?" Scarlet turned towards Brook's voice coming out of the phone. 'That voice... The Rabbit Reaper!' "I'm coming for her now," Brook said. Scarlet stared at the cracked screen of the phone on the floor.
