It was almost time for the boys to return home when your phone rang again, this time it was a number you recognize but it has been awhile since you've seen it.
“Bepo?” You said surprised as you answer the phone.
“Hi (Name).” He greets, it's been awhile since you've spoken to the bear. You were silent for a moment before frowning at the phone.
“Uh Bepo..?” You said again, he gasps.
“Oh right..I'm sorry..” He says and you laugh, same ol' bear.
“Have you seen Law?” He asks and you freeze.
“Law?” You ask him and he repeats the question and you bite your lower lip.
“I've been calling him but he hasn't answered...” You admit and you hear Bepo sigh.
“He hasn't been answering me either...” He admits and the both of you fall into a worried silence.
“Have you heard from Kid?” Bepo asks finally and you frown at this.
“Yeah I have, earlier today. He left the conversation suddenly, said he had something to do. Sounded like he was about to cause trouble again.” You said, then you freeze for a moment. Kid wouldn't...he didn't....
“Do you think...?” You start as Bepo falls silent.
“Maybe...it's not...I don't...I'm sorry.” He says before hanging up on you. You stare at your phone for a moment before dialing a number.
“(Naaaame)?” You hear Shanks slur you name and you sigh.
“Are you drunk?” You said in such a serious tone that he instantly falls silent.
“What's wrong this time?” He asks and everything on his end falls silent.
“Have you seen Law?” You ask him and he hums silently.
“No. Why?” He asks and you fill him in on the phone call with Bepo and Kid.
“Would Kid be dumb enough to piss you off..?” Shanks jokes and you growl.
“I can't go find out, Sabo is sick. I've been trying to call Law for help cause I don't know how to take care of a sick kid...” You sigh into the phone, glancing at the stairs.
“Ehh...you could just google it?” Shanks says and you freeze. That was true...
“Sh-shut up...” You said with a sigh and he laughs.
“Didn't think of that did you?” He asks and you sigh again.
“But Law...” You said and it was his turn to sigh.
“I'm sure he's fine...As for Kid I think I need to pay him a visit anyways...Lately he has been messing around in both mine and Whitebeards territories...” He says absently and you tense. What the hell has Kid been doing..!?
“So relax, help your kid. Talk to you later~” He hums into the phone before hanging up. You look at the clock on the wall above the entertainment center and sigh. It was time to pick up the boys. But before you leave your phone rings again. It's a number you don't recognize.
“Hello?” You say into the phone as you answer.
“Ms. Lacent?” A deep voice answer you and you confirm that it was, in fact, you that answered the phone.
“Who is this?” You ask before letting the conversation continue. This earns a chuckle from the other end.
“Whitebeard.” He says and your jaw drops. This timing...
“Ace wants to talk to you.” He says before you hear the phone get passed around.
“(Name)!” Ace says and your heart skips a beat.
“Ace?” You said surprised and you hear him huff.
“Yeah it's me, I'm over at Marco's place!” He says and you frown slightly, something might be going on and he's not anywhere near you.
“Luffy said he's going over to Usopp's so you don't have to pick us up!” He says and your stomach drops.
“Can I speak to Whitebeard again please?” You ask him and you hear him say something and the phone gets passed back.
“What?” You hear him say and you take a deep breath.
“there is an issue going on, I don't know what it is but it might not be safe for Ace, can I assume he'll be fine where he is?” You said, swallowing your nerves. It's silent for a moment before the man speaks.
“What kind of issues?” He asks and you have to take a deep breath. Your not good at talking to such scary people.
“Kid.” Is all you say and it takes him a second to realize your talking about the red headed man.
“What has he done this time?” He asks and you explain the conversations you had with Bepo,Kid, and Shanks. There was a moment of silence before he speaks again.
“Yeah the boy will be fine here...if anything happens, I don't know about the other boy though. His friend lives near the terminal.” He says and you flinch and cuss under your breath. You didn't know this.
“Does Ace by any chance know where Usopp lives?” You ask him, there is some talking in the background until you get an answer.
“No he doesn't.” He says and you bite your lower lip again. Dammit.
“Oh well...thank you for letting me know where Ace is and an idea of where Luffy is...Good day.” You said hanging up the phone, that might not have been the best way to end a call but you didn't have time to be completely polite. You run upstairs and walk over to Sabo's bed and wake him up. He looks up at you and whines before he starts having a coughing fit. You feel bad but you didn't want to leave him here.
“Come on..we need to go, I'll carry you on my back.” You said as you pick him up and put him on your back. He wraps his arms around your neck weakly and shivers against you. He was really warm. You grab a small blanket and throw it around your shoulders, covering him. He grabs it and pulls it around him tighter.
“Where are we going?” He asks before coughing again. You positioned the blanket around you so it was holding Sabo to your back.
“We need to go find Luffy, there's something going on...” You said walking out into the hall and down the steps. Sabo coughs again and snuggles into your back.
“Is he okay?” He coughs and you give him a small smile.
“I want to be sure he'll be.” You said as you make your way out the house.
“Where you going (Name)?” Someone says as you walk out your front door. You turn and your gaze meets Kid's. You looked at him surprised as you turn your body so you were between Kid and Sabo.
“Kid what are you-?” You started but then a man walks up next to him holding a gun. You look at Kid who just smirks at you.
“Come on (Name)...we need to talk.” He chuckles as the men take a step towards you.
