Omicidio d'amore ? Ticci Toby x Reader

back to business

I once again found myself at a bar. The unrecognized music played as men talked amongst themselves other a game of pool while a few puffed some from their cigars letting their partner cling to them helplessly fluttering their long lashes up at them. Suppressing the urge to sigh I just kept close to the men I had to stay with, looking at Brian was always surprising as his face always seemed to flicker from having his mask to his face as soon as I glimpsed at him but I brushed it off as my brain being tired as I tried to register the fact I could see his face. He looked tired with clear discomfort as his eyes flickered to each person in his range of sight keeping his head low, my eyes widened we I met with his hazel eyes. “Don’t get use to this.” He frowned. Instantly looking away I made sure to look for any symbol that looked like Zalgos but to my dismay there were none. Tim let out a long drag as he leaned on the bar counter before nodding towards a far table. “Got them.” I perked up to see the symbol on a man meanwhile he sat with a woman that looked as perfect as a doll. Toby turned to me with a fierce glint in his eyes; no bubbly Toby today it seems. “T-there is supposed to be-be another w-woman coming to get some in-information right now so h-how about you rush ov-over there like a g-good girl and help us ou-out?” with a gulp I was shoved forward and walked over to the two forcing a smile on my face – just pretend you’re at work.

“Ah! Miss Rosaline, you are just in time.” He smiled softly at me looking up at me through dark lensed sunglasses. “Don’t worry I know you’re new but we’ll make this snappy.” I sat down crossing a leg over the other with a matching smile as his own. “Well, that’s very lovely of you sir. Let’s start shall we?” and so the meeting did. I was at a loss at who the people they were talking about, what family was what, what phrases I’ve never heard before. “We’ll be meeting at the warehouse outside Don Za’lgatoth’s territory.” The doll-like woman frowned. “I heard from a little birdie that it got stolen from before so why go back?” the man adjusted his tie as he eyed the two of us. “He has limited control with this area thanks to Knudsen but believe me misses you’ll have my word on that all traded files have been copied just in case.” The other woman seemed pleased as she shook his hand before standing up revealing her long slender legs. I sent a wink at the male as I let my foot brush against his ankle, this caught his attention as a small smirk grew on his lips. “I’ll make sure to send in a good word, just for you~” he took hold of my hand before placing a kiss on it before I said my goodbyes. Until now I didn’t realize my heart was thumping agonizingly hard against my chest.

As soon as I stepped out of the bar a car honked, I whipped my head to see Tim doing a slight wave from the front seat. “Hop in toots!” I rushed inside the car letting my body collide with the twitching male in the back, who was ticking uncontrollably as he eyed the driver, I placed a hand on his causing him to be snapped out of his trance. “I’ll make sure he doesn’t almost crash the car again.” Toby chuckled but it surprised me how uneasy it sounded. Was toby really this scared of driving? Does this have a connection to Lyra? “So, where are we going?” hoods butted in as he glared at me in the corner of his eyes before letting the sharp hazel orbs be covered by the black fabric of his mask. “Back to the warehouse.”

The car stopped among the trees, this time we were much closer when stopping the car. There the bricked warehouse loomed now crawling with Zalgos men and now new people. Wringing my hands I couldn’t ignore the nerves that started to build up inside of me, I felt a tug on my sleeve. I looked up to see Toby smiling down at me. “Don’t w-worry, I’ll ma-make sure you’re safe!” he nuzzled his cheek on mine letting his exposed teeth graze on my skin but it almost felt as uncomfortable as the hairs on his chin that scratched at my jaw. “I h-hope you’re n-not do-doubting me.” I saw his hardened expression in the corner of my eye. “Of course not dear, why would I do that?” I smiled at him as he pulled away, he didn’t respond but fastened his gear letting his face be covered by his normal attire. All four of us left the car as soon as each of us was ready. I just dusted off my pale cream dress instead of putting on any masks or weapons but I gasped at the sight of a knife being handed over to me. “You’ll need it.” The frowning masked male stated before crouching down, I opened my mouth to ask what he was doing but was taken back when he lifted the edge of my dress to reveal the top of my stocking. He placed it at the side of my leg letting the buckle attaching the stocking up to my undergarment slightly overlap it to keep the handle in place. My fast went red as he kissed my thigh, he pulled up his mask slightly to do such, before standing up. “Just for luck.” I could hear the smirk once again in his voice, the urge to smack him was rising but I decided against it knowing he had a gun attached to his belt.
