Liza's POV *12th of January*

(Two days before Harry's bday and just so you know the timeline of things)

"Why did he choose 6th of June?" I ask.
"We might find out but the address we need to go to on 4th of May might be a clue." Harry answers.
"Mm, I wish I could go outside." I mutter.
"It's fine, Strawberry." he replies. "Let's try to focus on what matters now."
"You should wear a suit on your birthday." I state. "It'd look good on you!"

Mr Demon smirks and he pecks my forehead. I'm imagining him in a suit and GODDAMNIT, HE'D LOOK HOT. Liza, it's gonna be on his birthday, do not start simping. It's about him, but fuck. I've always found suits hot and the combination of that with my boyfriend. HELP MY REDASS FACE.

"Strawberry, you're burning up again." Harry states.
"No I'm not." I hide my face with my hands.
"Then why do you need to hide your face?" he asks and removes my hands as he holds my chin. "Seeing you like this is like a gift itself."
"Shut up..." I mutter and notice the time. "Oh shit, I need to go."

Mr Demon smiles and pulls me towards him without looking like he's gonna let go before I can even move. The fuck is he planning now? One hand holds the back of my head, I look at him really confused. Never realized that his hand can fit the entire back of my head.

I hate tall people.

My wings raise, it's impossible to tell what he is gonna do now. Sweet loving nature knows but won't tell me, fuck mother nature. It's mean to me all the time.

"Don't forget the weather outside." he states.
"Oh shit...are you gonna drop me off?" I ask.
"I will, but I need to ask a question." he answers. "What do you think happened to your ex friends 8 months ago?"
"Back when the fire happened...I think they got moved temporarily..." I answer.

I think that was what they said in they news, why is Mr Demon asking me this now? I think I have told him about my ex friends, a few of them but I don't really care anymore about them...

"One of them, is a serial killer now in this area." he states in a serious voice. "I'm gonna track them down, what would you like me to do with them as I believe her name was Cassandra?"
"Hmm...turn her into the police honestly, we'll get a reward for it maybe." I answer. "Though killing her is more satisfying but you can't pass up money!"
"Understood, now let's get you to work." he smirks.

I'm already dressed good enough so he takes me to where I'm supposed to be now and then disappears. I don't care about Cassandra, she was just a drama queen anyways but I won't pass up money. I give Anna a text about this quickly and head off for work.

*1 hour later*

Work is boring but I got a reply from Anna, I love texting her on this stuff. Her replies are amazing and she's my best friend. I tell her everything now and she's amazing.

Anna: Nah, the fact you're dating an arsonist though but choose to do this.
Keep it up 👍
Liza: I will
Anna: Who doesn't like a little money?
Liza: Says the one who'll kick down a door and pay for it out of her pocket cause she rich
Anna: Been a dream since I was a child, be rich✨

Money is good, really wanna see her in person again but this does make me smile. I put everything from the work in a document and send it to Azula, she still does a lot of work with me, Harry and Asher. Besides, Asher works like hell so I don't wanna stress him too much.

Work is boring and I do the lighter work but I prefer it over having to do serious criminal shit. Like yeah, I'm in a mafia but I don't wanna do deep work, I'm doing it for the benefits. Because I don't want me or Mr Demon to die early, I wanna stay with him as much as possible. He's important as hell to me...

I have a strange feeling I shouldn't go outside, but I also feel like I shouldn't wait here for Mr Demon. So, I'm gonna trust my gut and start to walk back where I just had my work. Before I can open the door, I feel shiver down my spine and quickly send Asher and Mr Demon my location. The thing is, it feels like it'd be a blunder if I go through the door so I run into the building's staircase.

This is an apartment and there's a staircase that leads to the roof. I start walk up, then I hear running footsteps. They are getting closer, well fuck. RUN BITCH, is what my head is screaming at me. I look behind me, oh great. Nostalgic, right? I'm being chased by fucking cops again. Been a while since that happened.

I reach the fire exit and I'm out on the roof, the blizzard looks calmer here. There are four cops in total, I think I can fly in this but I pull out my gun that I always carry with me just in case. Love the life of mafia...I guess.

They all point tasers against me while I hold my gun and point at against the one to the middle left. Fuck you mother nature. I'm lucky I have a jacket on atleast, the blizzard makes it hard to see but my aim is good, I take a few steps back, to the edge of the roof. First shot, hits the leg and the cop falls on the ground.

Second shot comes directly after and hits the one to the far right, the leg again. No shots missed, third shot hits the middle right's arm and the fourth one hits the last one's leg. They call for backup but I jump off and fly. This'll be annoying but I think I can land on the ground before the blizzard gets a strong wind, I'll just glide down since my wings are so big.

"Strawberry, good aim but let's hurry back." I suddenly realize I'm on the ground with someone carrying me.
"Mr Demon, what took you so long?" I question.
"Well it did take a minute to get here but that was because I was delayed from being stuck at the police station." he answers. "Though good job on handling that, just shows you can handle yourself on your own."
