Rule #23: A Criminal is a Criminal

Chapter 9- Last Name

Third Person POV

**Flashback**

Lucy walked out once she was sure the people left which really was a few hours ago. She wanted to make sure they weren't there anymore.

Once she walked out she ran out to the hallway. Salty rivers began to pour down her cheeks.

"Mom! Dad! Michelle!" She yelled.

She ran over to them.

"Please. Wake up." She cried.

She caressed her younger sister's cheek and brushed out the brown hair out of her lifeless face. Lucy took the rose clip that was holding her sister's hair back at her side and held it tight.

Lucy knew about that Mafia. She knew that the boss didn't allow children because it reminded him of something.

The boss didn't know her but she knew him. His red hair, his tanned skin, and his fierce black eyes and the 'X' scar on his cheek as well as the scar across his right eyebrow.

Lucy wiped her tears off and got up.

"I swear I'll avenge you. I'll kill him with my own hands. That's a promise." Lucy said through gritted teeth.

She packed some clothes and some stacks of money. She didn't look back when she left the mansion. She just ran.

**End of flashback **

Michelle and Natsu were at opposite end of each other, one of the other side of the shelves that were filled with files.

Michelle looked through the different files. She opens up one and was shocked. She maintained her composure though.

Case: discontinued

"You alright? What did you find?" Natsu asked.

"Oh. Nothing. It's just these cases are interesting and sad." Michelle lied and put away the folder.

A few seconds went by and Natsu spoke up.

"What happened to your shoulder?" Natsu asked.

"What?" She asked.

"Your left shoulder. It's hurt. How?" Natsu asked again.

"Yesterday I fell and scraped my shoulder with the corner of my bed. I'm clumsy, what can I say?" She lied.

Natsu nodded but she knew he didn't buy it. She felt her options narrow down to only one.

Natsu's POV

She's lying. That didn't happen yesterday night.

"Oh, I see." I nod.

So she lied about her injury. Possibly about her burn too. She has a normal yet strange interest in the Mafia and Silence and something feels off about her.
