Chapter 1

His oynx eyes scanned the room, as he watched a man tamper with car tires, stuffing them with bags and bags with of a white powder. They were definitely drugs. He smirked, watching how unaware and ignorant the man was. Carefully, he reached for his gun. Letting out a sigh, he counted down from three in this head. 1, 2... 3!

"FBI! Put your hands where I can see them!" He yelled, startling the man who nearly jumped back two feet. Slowly, he raised his hands up. He lowered his defences for a brief second, because the next thing he knew the intended suspect had broke out into a run, but not before throwing a bag of the white powder on him.

He coughed a couple of times, his nose twitch subconsciously. Immediately, he recognized the powder to be cocaine. It was obvious that cocaine had no smell, but he had dealt with a lot of cases like these, and there was no need to be so secretive about baking soda.

He rubbed his twitching nose, before mumbling a few profanities under his breath. Criminals? He rolled his eyes. Why couldn't they just do what he asked for? But then again, it was never fun without the thrill of a good chase. It got adrenaline pumping through his veins, and he tingled with excitement.

Catching the suspect wasn't as exciting as he thought it would have been. Even though the drug dealer had a head start, he managed to catch up to him without so much as breaking a sweat. When he was right behind his target, he pounced faster than you can say 'FBI'.

"Look here buddy," the man stopped struggling underneath him and looked at the FBI agent. He eyed this captor; he had wild pink hair and a white scarf wrapped around his neck. In the next moment, he was frozen stiff, a look of realization spread across his features.

"Y-You're t-the Salamander!"

"Oh, you recognized me?" He mocked sarcastically. "I'm so honored."

In the distance his sensitive ears picked up the sound of police sirens making him place handcuffs on the man underneath him and lift him onto his feet. The cops arrived a few minutes later, fully armed, but stopped when they saw who had caught the wanted criminal.

"It's the top FBI agent, Natsu Dragneel." The policemen whispered amongst themselves, while they cleared a path for the well known agent. He walked the offender to a waiting police vehicle and stopped in front of an open door in the back seat.

"Oh sorry, I think I forgot to say this," He ran a free hand through his wildly pink hair.

"Zancrow, you are under arrest for illegally trading and selling cocaine." He pushed him into the police vehicle, and watched them drive away. Another case, solved.

"Detective Dragneel, how did you catch Zancrow?!"

"How did you figure out about the drugs?"

"Salamander!"

Natsu was surrounded by groups of reporters, as he made his way back. However, a group of police officers surrounded him, making sure the press didn't get too close to him. He felt his chest swell with pride at the press trying to as much as talk to him. He knew he was popular for his work and that only added to his dangerously high ego. He has caught over three hundred wanted criminals alone, and for some unknown reasons he works individually only.

"Natsu, how do you feel about this case?" A reporter asked, with her cameraman besides her. Natsu stopped for a minute, and took her microphone.

"This case was a piece of cake! It wasn't even that hard to be considered a case for top agents." He commented, showing off a bit of his cocky side. He continued walking, until he had escape from the crowd. He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, and pulled it out.

"Hello, this is 'Salamander'." Natsu said, listening to what the person had to say on the other side.

"What? Right now?" He asked. Absorbing the words, he nodded and sighed. Natsu shook his head for a second, before running up the street.

No one noticed he had left, until someone spotting him running, and chased after him. He turned the corner to a dead end, causing the media to cheer. By the time they had turned the corner, their eyes widened. Natsu Dragneel had disappeared into thin air, leaving not a single trace.

"The Natsu Dragneel as seen here, has arrested a highly wanted drug dealer Zancrow. We have a comment by him too, 'This case was a piece of cake! It wasn't even that hard to be considered a case for top agen-"

The T.V. shut off, as a blonde woman slammed switch off. She let out a frustrated moan, as she threw a small knife on a picture on the wall. And what was the picture?

The picture was nothing but a poster of Natsu Dragneel, that people would die to have. The small knife landed dead straight in his eyes, causing her to smirk.

"How do you like that Dragneel? Thinking you're all high and stuff. Well, think again." She shouted, but stopped when her lavender retriever, Plue barked at her. She stopped yelling, and walked over to the picture, pulling out the knife.

"I'm weird huh Plue," she turned her attention back to the poster "talking to a poster." She took back the knife, and continued to cut the carrots like nothing happened.

Her phone rang suddenly, startling her. She jumped slightly, causing her to accidentally cut her finger.

"Can I never get a day off?" She mumbled to herself, walking over to get her cell phone.

"Hello, this is 'Celestial' speaking." She answered, however face became an unreadable expression as she listened to the person on the other line.

"Yes, certainly. I'll be right there." She said, before hanging up. She looked over at her dog Plue who was whining for her not to go.

"Sorry Plue, but I have to go. I'll be back though boy," She gave him one last look before walking out the door.

"I everyday life as 'Lucy Heartfilia' will have to wait." Putting her cut into her mouth, she cringed at its metallic taste.

What an ugly crimson color.
