[Natsu's office the next day: 5am]

The sound of the laptop keys being pressed echoed in the room as Natsu typed away at a file. A few minuted passed before he paused and looked up. He turned back to the computer before opening the security cameras and looking through them slowly before he turned to the outdoor ones.

Natsu paused as he noticed a dark shaded figure standing at a distance. The figure was looking at about the top floor. As Natsu sat there trying to figure out what he was looking at he snapped.

"GILDARTS!" the door slammed open

"A man is at the East side of the mansion! Get him and DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE!" with that Gildarts ran out the room and Natsu sat back down in his chair watching in the security cameras as he spotted Gildarts behind the man.

Natsu watched as he delivered a karate chop to the back of the person's neck and the figure slump against the floor before Gildarts looked in the direction of the camera and nodded.

Natsu stood and went to the door and as he opened the door he was greeted with Gildarts walking towards him with the unknown man over his shoulder.

"put him in the box" Gildarts nodded before he went towards a bookshelf and pulled a book. The door opened and a control panel and a glass window stood before the duo. Natsu walked in first and sat in the chair before the panel.

Gildarts opened a door beside the panel and walked in where a lounge and coffee table were set up in the middle of a white room. The glass blended in to the wall like a one sided window. Gildarts set the man down on the lounge before walking to the door and closing it behind him as he walked out.

"Gildarts, you can go now. If any of my guests wake up have someone prepare them breakfast please"

"yes sir"

"oh and one more thing-" Gildarts turned his head slightly "if they ask where I am, tell them I'll be down as soon as possible. Also, tell them that there will be a few guests arriving sooner or later"

Gildarts said nothing as he walked out the door before it closed behind him. Natsu continued to watch the man before he saw that he was starting to stir awake.

Natsu leaned forward and held a button before talking. "Who are you?" the man sat up, sleep immediately gone from his eyes

"I'll ask again, who are you?" the man stayed silent

"don't answer then, but remember that you won't be getting any food or water as long as you don't answer my questions" that seemed to make the man snap

"wait! I'll talk! I'll talk!"

"tell me why you're here and everything you know" the man hesitated before he sighed and answered

"I came to spy on a girl called Lucy Heartfilia"

"why?"

"it was an order"

"from who?"

"I don't know! All our orders are given to us by the second in command and no one knows who the boss is!"

"you don't know who you're working for?"

"no I don't, honestly" Natsu paused and watched as the man looked down as he barely noticed tears coming to the man's eyes

"what's your name" the man looked up in shock at hearing Natsu's voice so soft "why do you continue living? What makes you want to live?"

"my name's Alzack, Alzack Connell. I live for my wife and daughter" Natsu paused and looked up in interest

"you have a wife and daughter?" Natsu spoke after a while

"yeah-" Alzack had a loving look in his eyes "-my wife's name is Bisca and my daughter's name is Asuka"

"who do you work for and why?"

"I work for a man and from what I've heard he's apparently the owner of Heartfilia railways. The reason I work for him is because it's the only way for me to make money"

"why is it the only way?"

"I'm a former criminal, I specialise in guns along with my wife and no one wants to employ a former criminal" Alzack looked down before Natsu made a decision

"why don't you work for me?"

"WHAT?!" shock was written all over Alzack's face and Natsu laughed a little

"why not? If you work for me you are guaranteed to have a roof over your head, food to feed your family and clothes for yourself and them too. Furthermore, I pay for all your basic needs, ask any one of the people who work for me and they'll say the same thing"

Alzack's eyes widened before he stood up and slammed his hand on the coffee table before looking directly at the one sided window

"I'll do it. I'll work for you" Natsu smiled at the man before he stood up and walked over to the door. As Natsu opened it, Alzack turned to him

"so, names Natsu, I'm your new boss from now on. You can call me by my name, sir or boss"

"um, Natsu, is there a way for me to get in contact with my wife?" Natsu turned to the man

"what's your address?"

"what?

"your address, here's a piece of paper, write it down and I'll send someone to go retrieve them and all their belongings" Alzack nodded before writing his address and handing it back to Natsu.

Natsu nodded before he motioned with his head for Alzack to follow him. Natsu walked to the back of the room and pressed a button before the door slid open and they were back in his office.

"where are we going now?"

"we're going to the kitchen, you must be hungry since you still havn't had anything to eat or drink today"

As Alzack was about to reply that he wasn't his stomach grumbled causing Natsu to look at with the "i-told-you-so face" making Alzack scratch the back of his neck sheepishly

Natsu smiled before he started walking to the office door with Alzack following right behind him. Once they exited the office Natsu turned and scanned his hand before a resounding lock was heard.

Natsu continued down the hallway towards a set of stairs before he descended along with Alzack.
