Snake[Izaya X Reader]

Squad

There are ten people in the room. Some of them sit on couches, some are at the bar and around the room. The ones who are already familiar with you come to greet you while the rest introduce themselves.

"Troy, would you mind bringing a glass of water," says Jean and Troy brings a glass of water then gives it to you. He looks at your face and lifts his brow questionably. "are you alright?" he asks since he noticed that you might be unwell.

"I'll explain later," you response since the meeting should start soon.

"Alright," responds Troy, not questioning too much for now. It isn't the smartest thing to be here instead of recovering but Shinra did say that the wound wasn't serious and harmed only the surface of your skin more or less. Jean invites everyone to go into the meeting room. You take a seat at the end of the table with a look over the whole room. Everyone takes a seat while Jean keeps standing on the other side of the table, giving an introductory speech.

"I'm glad you all responded to come here." you continue after Jean finished. "As you know our new goal is to expand our business in Ikebukuro." Everyone stays silent, listening respectfully. "The way that we operate stays the same as now that you worked under Jean for this past six months." You explain, "Jean," you say and let him take over again.

"As [f/n] said, the way we operate stays the same," says Jean then continues to explain the work and tasks. After some time he gives the word to Troy, who explains different data and numbers of profit that was and is planned to be accomplished.

After a while, the meeting ends and once again you move to the main room. You take the opportunity and exchange a few words with your people. Through time more and more people leave until everyone that remains is Jean, Troy and you.

"That went well." You take a seat on the couch then end up moving into a lying position.

"Yes, people respect you [f/n]," says Jean in a calm tone. "We built a fine reputation, people admire those, who play fair and work hard."

"Indeed," comments Troy. "Even so, do you think it's smart to expand territory to this part of the city?" asks Troy skeptically, cold and rational as always.

"I did not want to move here, but as Ivan said, it's a good opportunity to expand our business so it would be unreasonable not to do so," you reply calmly. "This part of the city will give us great opportunities, having this terrain over our control will help us make our business as legal as possible."

"The statistics support your statement," Troy rubs his chin. "Even so, we need to be careful, Yakuzas are quick to hold a grudge, they won't tolerate disrespect." Troy looks over the file in his hands then closes it. "Not to mention that Le Milieu is also interested here."

"Indeed, that's why we're approaching this situation with extra caution," Jean looks at you. "Do you feel any better?"

"Yeah, thank you for asking," you smile and open eyes. "That brings me to what happened yesterday," knock on the door interrupts you.

"Yes?" asks Jean seriously since he wants to hear what you have to say. "I heard yesterday there was a shooting nearby, is it something connected to it?" says Jean in prediction.

"Do we expect anyone?" asks Troy then walks towards the door while you take a seat.

"No," replies Jean and glances towards the doors. Troy opens it a bit and looks who it is.

"Let me in, I want to talk to [f/n]," says a familiar voice and this time you recognize it.

"Orihara," says Troy seriously. "What kind of business do you have with [f/n]?"
