Chapter 3 * The red fox*
I looked up at the towering man and gulped he was at least a head taller them me. I could feel the heat radiate of him … my mouth went dry I heard a smirk and looked over to Levy I stepped back.
"Well I hope we work well together and my name is Jinx not pipsqueak" I stated dryly
He cocked head head and laughed.
"Well looks like I got the feisty one" he drawled his red eyes studying my face.
Lucy glanced at me as I scrunched up my fist
I will give you feisty you long haired yahoo I screamed to myself.
"Well considering you have already given me a nick name I thought its only fair iron face I give one to you" I turned and went over to Lucy she smirked at me
I left him with an angry look in his eyes, when I glanced back at him over my shoulder.
Guildarts coughed "Well you girls need to do some paperwork and the guys will take you to desks"
As I looked around at the girls my heart lurched I wonder where they were all going
"Sir before we do that can I ask a favor?" I asked knowing that he probably wouldn't say yes
"What is it Jinx" he looked at me
"Well sir could me and the girls look around the precinct first?" my eyes went to my feet I usually didn't like authority figures but I was in his house and If I wanted to follow my dream I needed to pull my head in and take it on the jaw... I gulped feeling the girls eyes all on me.
"Actually I think that's a good idea" he stated
phewI breathed out the breath I didn't realize I was holding in.
"I cant spare the guys but you have an hour to look around"
I looked over the girls the look of relief on there faces was priceless. We all hurried out of the meeting room. We made beeline for the elevator.
"Well shit I didn't expect them to be so fucking cute" Laxus stated with a toothy grin.
"What did you expect Laxus" Bickslow stated laughing letting hes tongue roll outta hes mouth.
"Well something more butch and less chest" he stated
The guys erupted in laughter except detective Justine who looked puzzled from behind his glasses.
"Now you guys keep it in your damn pants you hear me" Guildarts roared they all looked up at him
"We need new blood whether you like it or not, all these girls came with extremely amazing records and test results, they will be a great asset to us and if you dumb asses fuck that up by getting down there pants you will be in serious trouble do you get me" his growled at his team
"No worries boss" Grey stated shoving his hands into his pockets.
"But I think Gajeel got the feistiest of the bunch" Natsu replied with a grin.
Gajeel looked at him and huffed "Damn pixie will be the death of me, do you think these idiots can even shoot I bet there have never even been in a real fight" he growled
The truth was Gajeel and the others were missing there own partners. After the incident a few months ago the precinct had lost 15 good men and women and his partner matalicanna had been among them leaving his wife and kid behind, Gajeel wished that it had been him instead to die. He frowned
"Gajeel it will be fine like the capt said they come with great recommendations but I think we will have to break them in" Laxus stated smugly cracking a Cheshire cat grin.
The door of the elevator closed
I let out a long groan …
"Well that was interesting" Mira stated beaming at us
"I cant believe I got into the Cyber unit" Levy stated her cheeks red and her eyes watery
"I can" I hugged my friend close
"I am so nervous and my partner oh my god" Lucy looked like she was going to pass out
I laughed at her "Whats the problem Lucy is he toooo cute" the girls laughed
"Well I don't know about you guys the only thing I want to find it there is their gun range" I stated
"Jinx..."
"Yes Lisanna?" I turned at looked at the petite white haired girl
"Are you ok? you look hot?"
I laughed "Yer I am fine I just need to blow off some steam I cant believe I made it onto murder squad" I smiled back at the girl
Like a dog to a bone I sniffed out the armory and gun range on level 3 I was taken back this was some high class shit much better then the range at the academy this gun range was inside, but as I found out from the armory man Max, this part of the building and a bit more had damage so it all got replaced. I didn't push the mater further I requested some rounds for me and the girls "Lets blow off some steam before we go back and deal with out partners"
"Haha that's the spirit you don't want to be all hot and bothered since you are teaming up with the resident bad boy" Cana giggled and winked at me
"Shut up Cana I saw that look when that Bacchus guy said wild and winked at you" I stated smugly
Cana turned a bright shade of red that would rival Erza's hair colour
"This is stupid guys, these guys will prob become more like your brothers then sexual toys Ok so keep focused, we will never been taking seriously if we don't start acting like it" I stated taking my gun out of the holster I grab some ear protection and walked up the target.
BANG BANG BANG
"Bring it on metal head" I muttered to myself.
"Haha like always Jinx cleans up on the gun range" Erza stated looking at our work for the last 20 minutes The girls all had there targets out head shots, stomach shots .I looked at my target head and heart shots only. I grinned at them
"Of cause if it was a drinking game Cana would win" Erza stated with a smile
Well they all looked more relaxed I think we are ready to deal with all of this. Today was mind fuck but at least we only had a half day mainly to meet our new partners and check out the place and do our starting paperwork done. As we walked around I also noticed they had a gym. Yes! saves me for having to find one in New york if the precinct already had one I could just use this one save myself some money. As I poked my head in it was darkly lit, it had an octagon cage and a few punching bags and treadmills pretty basic but it would do. Well I looked at my watch well we better get back before the capt gets on our case.
"Come on guys we don't want to be late" they followed me out of the gym.
hmmm I wonder what this is going to be like, I couldn't help but think about my partner. Redfox really was a fox but that was the last thing I could think about I was here to do my job and fraternizing with my partner wasn't part of the deal. I sighed... alright give me your best shot…
The elevator doors opened again on the 2nd floor. All the guys were laughing in the meeting rooms from what I gathered we only have another 2 hours before it was lunch time and we could leave for the day then back tomorrow for real work.
I opened the door and they all stopped laughing and looked at us I could feel Levy and Lucy blush behind me.
"Hello" the blue haired girl came up to us with a smile on her face
I smiled back "Hello"
"I am Juviea, I am a murder detective my partner is Grey" she looked at us I glanced over at Grey the man was handsome I thought to myself as if reading my mind her faced turned into a scowl
I smirked maybe she liked her partner a little more then a brother or friend
"I hope we wont be too much under foot the first few days but we are eger to start" I stated looking around at them all my eyes settled on my partner who had an angry look on his face. Hell if he keeps that up it will freeze that way I thought to my self.
"Well if you are ready to start no time like the present" detective Justine stood up and walked over to Levy
"My name is Freed" he smiled warmly "I will take you guys to my lab we will sort out all your information and cards"
His eyes never left Levy, you could see a dusting of pink on her cheeks. Damn these guys are going to kill my friends I thought to myself there going to all die of heart attacks at this rate I giggled under my breath.
"Whats so funny pixie" a gruff voice stated from behind me how did I not realize he got up and moved behind me with out me noticing! …
"Nothing iron brain" i stated not even turning around, for the smile on Mira face I guess I had stumped him.
I could hear laughing the next minute detective Dragneel and Fullbuster erupted in laughter "Iron brain oh my god that is golden" I saw Dragneel state laughing with Grey. Redfox looked around and growled at them they both stopped suddenly. Bickslow and Laxus grinned at him.
Well seem we got a fighter Laxus thought to himself.
We followed Freed out of the meeting room, we all went to elevator it was a little cramped but all the girls and Freed before the doors shut you could hear a voice booming "Don't have to much fun in there Freed" Laxus stated with a grin.
I looked towards the green haired man his face flushed and he spluttered out something I couldn't quite catch.. I smiled to my self so they do that too huh blush like school girls.
We excited at the lab it was amazing ! all space aged so this is where Levy would be working.
"Do you work here alone" I stated looking at Freed.
"Now I do, but miss Levy is becoming my new partner I wont be alone anymore" Levy blushed like crazy women but when she looked at the lab she had tears in her eyes we had never seen something this good before all computers and processors on one side of the lab and the other was a book shelf filled with lots of different books. I couldnt believe it these two nerds I smiled and looked over to Erza
I watched as Erza walked over to me "So what do you think" Erza stated raising an eye
"Honestly the way Levy is looking I think she is going to have a heart attack or melt into a puddle of blue ooze"
"Look how happy she is" Erza smiled an all knowing smile
"I can see, but is it just me or dose Mr freed seem to have a close eye on her"
Erza smiled and gave me the all knowing wink
"So Mr freed what do we need to do" I stated bringing everyone back to reality
"Well Ids and log ins" he stated and busily started on his computer.
Sometime later after getting Id photos done and all the rest we were all kitted out.
Freed took us back to the 2th floor again the others were all busy doing what ever it was they were doing. I saw the pink hair guy lazing around annoying Grey with Juviea looking on with a crazy look on her face.
Laxus and Redfox chatting over coffee in the break room. The bull pen was a big room with many desks in the middle for all the detectives for what I gathered it seemed altho these guys were all if different departments they all ran outta the same bullpen I had never seen a set up like this but I saw the interrogation rooms were all labeled. And with Cyber force on the 3rf level and for what I gathered k9 unit on the ground floor but here was Dragneel sitting in here with his police dog laying next to him.
Then at the other side of the bull pen was the captains office with big windows so he could see everything happening.
We kinda just shuffled our feet we weren't sure what we were meant to be doing. Freed was talking to Levy about some computer program you could see she was really getting into it. Before I knew it a hand was on my shoulder. It was captain Guildarts I almost jumped outta my skin
"You guys can all go home there's no point in you being here cause these guys have all finished there shifts" from what I have gathered there were on the graveyard shift 12 to 12. The pink haired boy screamed and looked at his dog happily.
"So what are you girls doing now? Sorry I am Jallal by the way" he smiled softly and looked directly at Erza. Erza's face went as red as her hair
"I guess that's a good idea Jallal, you should all know our first names I am Laxus. Not that Bickslow or Bacchus have any other names, there like Cher or Madonna" I smiled up at his face to be honest I didn't think the striking blonde could make jokes.
"This is Natsu and his dog Rex, and the mammoth over there is Gajeel" Laxus replied
"And you know Juviea and Grey"
we all smiled it was nice to know there real names made it a little easier to accept them I guess.
"Well I know its early but would you guys like to come to the fairy tail bar" Laxus stated grinning a hundred watt smile at us
"Hell yer" Cana spitted out before any one could say anything "Lets get our drink on the quickest way to find out about anyone is by drinking"
"WILD" Bacchus stated with a smirk standing next to Cana
All the girls nodded Mira flashed Laxus her winning smile and looped her arm in his if I hadn't seen it for myself I would have said hell no to this… this huge man he was actually going pink. I chuckled to myself
we all walked out the 13th, I know it is strange to have just have met someone and go drinking but as cops we have to trust and know our partners well after all we are trusting our lives to them.
Lucy linked arms with me as we left the 13th
"Should we really be doing this?" Lucy asked me nervously playing with a string of her hair
"Well Cana is right if you want to know about someone the best way is to drink."
"Um can I tell you something"
"Sure Lucy"
"I am scared"
"Why"
"I don't know why I just am,"
"Maybe you are worried about being partners with a guy?"
her face looked puzzled "Maybe" she replied as we walk behind the rest of the group. Behind us I could feel Gajeel stalking behind us his back leather jacket slung over his shoulder. It had gotten hotter since we came outside. He had now pushed up his button up shirt arms where now pushed up to his elbows. I spied more piercings so there was 25 I mused to myself as I walked with Lucy quickly glancing behind me. I didn't realized everyone had stopped abruptly. Me and Lucy deep in conversation ran into the back of Lissana and Bickslow who were chatting to each other and laughing. Bickslow turned and grinned
"Sorry ' Lucy stated blushing he grinned back and poked his tongue out at us. As I looked up at the bar it had big sign fairy tail with a smaller one saying it was open any time you needed them. I smiled and look at the exterior is wasn't anything to write home about but still had its charm from the outside
"Jeez pixie move you ars aye" I hear Gajeel snap
My head turned and I glared at him "What you mean this one" I shake my ass at him I heard a sharp intake of air. As I smirked and walked in the scene hit me it felt like home…
