Made for the mafia

Part 12- Mission impossible

The boss

"Crystal."

How she managed to pack in that much venom and hate into that one word was beyond me. But her quick tongue and sass was getting on my last nerve.

As much as I wanted to despise her for back answering me in front of the rest of the gang members, a small part of me couldn't help but admire her for her feistiness.

Her chocolate brown eyes were always unreadable, but when she let her emotions get the best of her, flashes of what she hid underneath those big lashes came forth.

The intensity of her emotions always took me by surprise.

"Very well. Let's get down to business then." I said, raising my hand to beckon Ruby to cone forward.

She walked towards us, her feline eyes surveying Zoey carefully before a tiny smirk took over her lips.

"You will start your job from tomorrow evening Zoey. You shall work along side Ruby in dealing with the more... feminine aspects in the gang."

She raised a curious eyebrow at me before turning to Ruby for further explanation.

Ruby's smirk grew wider, and a predatory look took over her face.

"You will be seducing a very important person tomorrow, and hopefully with your charm, you will be able to extract very valuable information from him" Ruby said with a sickly sweet voice.

I glanced at Zoey to gauge her reaction. Her fave had paled a bit, and her bottom lip was tucked in between her teeth, her eyes flashing.

Then slowly she turned towards me, and I noticed her fists clenched at her sides.

"You want me to go look pretty, and get groped all over by some random dude for a piece of information that you could extract by just kidnapping him and bringing him over here?" she gritted out.

"Well even if I had a face like yours I'd be pretty insecure about the job" Ruby said, inspecting her nails.

Zoey's whole form stiffened, and she slowly turned towards Ruby, her anger now barely restrained.

"Listen here Barbie wannabe. I don't know what your problem is, but I do know that arguing with you isn't worth it. I don't know what makes you so stupid, but it must be working. Now if you would please keep your nose where it belongs, which is out of my business, you and me won't have a problem."

I raised my eyebrow at her little outburst, my eyes dancing with amusement.

Ruby's face on the other hand, turned 50 shades of red, each one making her eyes pop out of their sockets a little more each time.

I cleared my throat to catch both of their attention, and after giving each other a final glare they turned to look at me.

"Vincent is the leader of a rival gang, La cobra who we have been tracking for the past 6 years. We have finally located him, and let's just say that he needs to pay the bill for his crimes."

Zoey nodded as I spoke, gesturing for me to continue with a small wave of her hand.

"Toxic lips is a bar frequented by him, and as much as your idea tempts me, we can't just abduct him as he is surrounded by bodyguards all the time. But he is known widely as a man who cannot hold his liquor, and also as a womanizer."

Zoey's mouth opened in a small o shape, the realization finally hitting her.

"You want me to coax him into getting so drunk that he is willing to spill all his secrets to me?" she asked incredulously.

I nodded.

"What exactly am I supposed to be looking for?"

"You need to ask him about who Dante is. Also coax him into telling you about all his recent dealing, be it drugs or weapons. This man has been messing with my business and since he is now in my radar, I'm going to take him down."

She shuddered lightly, wrapping her arms around herself before another unreadable expression crossed her eyes again.

Finally, she turned to look at me, with a determined look crossing her features.

"I'll do it."

I merely nodded my head, and gestured to Zoey to follow me. She did so grudgingly, only turning her head slightly to give Ruby a dismissive smirk. Ruby's mouth tightened but she smoothly turned around and walked away, presumably to get herself a drink.

We approached the back of the room where I motioned for her to wait, and I went to fetch him.

It was time.
