His Responsibility {Mafia Male Reader x Abused Female Reader}

Chapter 6: My Special Friend (Tristan Pov)

It has been two weeks and I noticed that there were always two cars standing in front of the house since the day at the park. I was starting to get suspicious. I needed to see my friend, but I didn't want to be followed and risk my friend's existence. I stood in the meeting room with the gang and Aspen was with Lucas in the living room. I was definitely annoyed and needed to deal with this fast before it became a bigger problem.

"I want you and you to dress like me, the rest of you need to decide who wants to be in car A and B then the rest stay here to hold the fort, I want A to go left and B to go right then right again... I'll be in car C with Lucas and Aspen going right and staying straight which hopefully I won't be followed"

I pointed to the map and moved the model cars, everyone knew the plan after going over it three times more. The two men changed into my clothes and came out looking almost like me.

"Get going already"

The men left the room and as I walked out, Aspen ran towards me. I scoop her up and rub our noses together, Lucas stands there with his arms folded and a grin on his face.

"Want to come on a small trip with me to a special place?"

"Yeah!!"

"Lets go pack some things then"

I eyed Lucas who got the message and left, I put Aspen down and she ran off. Aspen sits on the bed whilst I grab a small bag for her things, I walk to the dresser and open the bottom draw.

"Come choose what clothes you want"

"Okie, can I bring my teddy?"

"Of course"

Aspen pulls out all her dresses and puts them in the suitcase along with her underwear. I closed the drawer and helped Aspen zip up the bag. I carried the suitcase and picked up Aspen. Before leaving I locked the door to my room and stuffed the key in my pocket, I went downstairs to the garage and met up with Lucas who had pulled the midnight blue Maserati Quattroporte around. The boot was open and our bags were laying on the ground still, I put the bag down with ours and placed Aspen down.

"Go get in the car Aspen"

Aspen nodded and got in the backseat, I helped Lucas put the bags in the back and ensured there was enough fire power incase of emergency.

"Are you sure bringing Aspen with you is a good idea?"

"No, but that's why your here and besides she's safer by my side"

I closed the boot and held my hand out, Lucas dropped the keys in my hand and walked to the passenger side. We climbed in and I put my coat in the empty side of the backseat, Aspen was occupied with her teddy. I pulled out and zoomed down the driveway, the cars were gone which meant I won't be followed. It was a peaceful drive and Aspen had curled up in my coat with her teddy, Lucas was also asleep. We were almost to our destination, Lucas started to stir awake and I slowly pulled up to an abandoned warehouse.

"Is this it?"

"Yes, my friend likes to meet up in a warehouse"

It was dark when I entered and there was another car parked opposite us. My friend stood there with his arms crossed and I parked the car. I looked at Aspen who was fast asleep and then to Lucas.

"Stay here"

"Fine"

I got out of the car and grabbed a bag out of the boot before walking over to my friend, Lucas got out of the car and stood by the car.

"Bonjour c'est bon de te voir vieil ami"
(Hello it's good to see you old friend)

"Avez-vous obtenu ce que j'ai demandé?"
(Did you get what I asked for?)

"Oui ce n'était pas facile quand même"
(Yes, it wasn't easy thought)

I handed him the bag and he handed me the folder. I opened it to see who the men were working for. Whilst he opens the bag and inspects the contents, I hear the car door open and Aspen runs over to me.

"Hey Aspen"

"Tris!"

"Can you wait by Lucas for a minute?"

She nodded and stood over by Lucas, I turned back to my friend.

"Merci d'avoir fait tout ce chemin"
(Thank you for travelling all this way)

"Je rends juste la pareille, qui est la petite fille?"
(Just returning the favour, who's the little girl?)

"C'est une longue histoire pour une autre fois"
(It's a long story for another time)

My friend nodded and turned away, I walked back to the car and picked Aspen up. Lucas takes the folder from me and flicks through it.

"Your friend's French?"

"Yes, we had a history and he owed me a favour"

"You can speak the language too?"

"Again yes, I can speak other languages too"

Lucas was surprised, I smirked and patted him on the back.

"I'm tired Tristan"

"I know, it's getting dark... let's find somewhere to stay the night"

"Je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher d'être ici, tu as besoin d'un endroit où rester"
(I couldn't help but over here you need a place to stay)

"Je ne veux pas m'immiscer"
(I don't want to intrude)

"Ne t'en fais pas, la fille est fatiguée"
(Don't worry about it, the girl is tired)

I nodded and put the girl in the backseat, Lucas got in the car and I got in the driver's side. We followed the other car out and drove out the warehouse, we drove down the road until we got to a huge mansion-like house at the end of the street.

"Wow, your friend is super rich!"

"Yeah, where'd you think I got all the money from?"

"Wait, you're in business with this guy!"

"Yeah, that's how I pay everyone and everything"

Lucas was shocked, he admired the house as we drove up the driveway. We parked beside the other car and we climbed out the car, I scooped up Aspen and grabbed our bags with the help of Lucas.

"Vos chambres sont au premier étage, j'ai du travail à faire donc je vous retrouverai pour le dîner"
(Your rooms are on the first floor, I have some work to do so I'll meet you guys for dinner)

"D'accord, merci encore"
(Alright, thank you again)

I gestured to Lucas to follow me, the house on the inside was fancy and old fashioned. It reminded me of France. I found our room and there was only one bed along with a couch.

"Aspen takes the bed and you can take the couch"

"But what about you?"

"I'll be fine"

I put Aspen down and patted Lucas on the shoulder.

"I'm going for a smoke, keep an eye on Aspen"

Lucas nodded and I left the room, I took out my cigarette as I sat in the living room. I inhaled the calming smoke and formed a smoke cloud above my head. I haven't been able to smoke around Aspen and I was dying for one.

"Je ne savais pas que tu fumais"
(I didn't know you smoked)

"Beaucoup de choses ont changé depuis notre dernière conversation"
(A lot has changed since we last talked)

The man laughs and sits on the opposite couch, I pulled out a paycheck and handed it to him.

"J'ai besoin de sécurité pour mon prochain bal de charité, ça vous intéresse?"
(I need security for my upcoming charity ball, are you interested?)

"Ça a l'air amusant, je vais le faire"
(Sounds like fun, I'll do it)
