Trigger warning: the 7th and 8th paragraphs might be a bit harsh.
"Remind me again why we're doing this" Happy was trying on a short black cocktail dress, unlike the one Paige had worn to the Gala this dress had back (much to toby's dismay). "Because we are going undercover" Toby let out a slow whistle of appreciation for the figure hugging dress that Paige had insisted on Happy wearing. The dress had a plunging V-neckline emphasizing Happy's breasts perfectly, this alone made Toby hard. "First of all I don't see why Paige and Walter couldn't go undercover" she was picking at the short sleeves that hung loosely on her shoulders "and second of all, if we need to run there is no hope in this dress". Toby swatted her hands away from the frilled dress sleeves "First of all we can't let Paige and Walter have all the fun, and second of all if we end up running and the dress becomes an issue I will carry you" Happy snorted at the suggestion as though it was the most insane thing she had ever heard. Before she knew it Toby had run at her, he caught her off guard and easily threw her over his shoulder. She began swatting at his back and squealing at him to put her down throwing in some empty threats about breaking arms.
"Need I remind the two of you that this is a big job, that with bring us big money, I don't want the two of you slacking off" Walter was standing at the bottom of the stairs, arms crossed, full military stance. "yes'ir" Toby dropped Happy and mock saluted Walter as he approached Paige, he mouthed a thank you to her and retrieved Happy's shoes. After all it was she who had put the idea in Walter's head and finally convinced him to let Happy and Toby go undercover for this job. A simple job, wander the cocktail party until they find the target, send him outside to Gallo and his men. Too easy. "You've got to be kidding me" Happy took the shiny black 6inch heels from Toby. "Looks like I'll definitely have to carry you" he said with a wink. Happy rolled her eyes and playfully punched his arm, "Paige are these necessary?" She put the shoes on and stood up, equal to Toby's height, this made him uncomfortable. Paige smiled and tilted her head to the side, "the height isn't really, but they make your legs look amazing" Happy and Walter rolled their eyes and Toby took her hand "Not that they didn't look amazing already". "Ugh enough of the fluffy stuff can we go now?"
Cabe pulled up in their ride as they were exiting the warehouse "Walter no, you can't let Toby drive this". Cabe threw the keys to Toby as he got out of the car "Happy focus, I need you to focus" Walter opened the door for her and toby got in the driver side. "Dodge Challenger SRT8, Walter, Toby is a terrible driver". "I'm shocked, have you ever died while I've been driving?" Toby grinned at how uncomfortable happy looked in the passenger seat. "Hey, hey focus. You are undercover so please, stop acting like children" Happy slammed the door on Walter, mumbling something to herself about the fun police.
"Silver?" she questioned with a raised eyebrow. "Signifies prestige and elegance" Toby replied "and so for a power couple like ourselves silver is the perfect colour". Happy snorted at the mention of a power couple. "I hate to crush your schoolboy dreams, but we are not prestigious or elegant and I'm not sure 'power couple' is the term to be used". "Who's joined the fun police now".
They pulled up out front of the mansion, "We are so not prepared for this" Happy whispered as they got out of the Challenger. Happy hated to be judged and this was just the group of people who were likely to do a lot of it. Toby took her hand in an attempt to calm her nerves, when this had no effect he pointed to a group of men in dark blue suits, "powerful and full of authority… or so they want you to think, look at their shoes. The suit might be the right colour but the shoes are cheap, thus leading us to believe that they are fake. I would say the group are , like their shoes, fake. Therefore having no grounds to judge you." Still Happy did not relax, "those men there" he pointed to three men huddled close together, not making eye contact with anyone else "their suits are a mixture of 'too big' and lets be honest, they look old. This leads us to believe that they want to be here to mingle with the rich people, but because of their unemployed status their invitations were 'lost in transit'. They will probably stand close to a large group and hope to blend in as they get their names checked off the list." Toby felt Happy slowly begin to relax, "this is fine for you, your suit fits and you have expensive shoes. What about me?" Toby smiled, he had been waiting to answer this question. "Well" he turned to stand in front of her, he took both her hands in his, "you are easily the most beautiful woman here when you are wearing combat boots, a leather jacket and jeans, so wearing a dress that shows what would normally be hidden from the rest of the world only makes you hotter" he kissed her and looked her in the eyes before whispering in her ear "none of these women have anything on you".
The pair made it into the mansion easily and had barely a second glance from the other guests. Well Toby barely got a second glance from the other guests, but he was right, Happy was easily the most beautiful woman there and everyone noticed. Toby instinctively wrapped his arm around Happy's waist as they passed through the crowd. While happy didn't have anxiety like Sylvester she felt uncomfortable in large crowds, having Toby close made her feel more at ease. "Shuffling feet, shifty hand movements, cheap shoes, this is our guy. Now don't make eye contact." Toby and Happy approached the man, only feet away but Toby stopped abruptly, concern flashed across his face and panic across Happy's. "What?" she whispered. "The idiot has a gun, who the hell brings a gun to a cocktail party" "someone who is expecting trouble, I got this, Toby I need you to slap me" shocked at the thought of hitting her he took a step back "you want me to what?" she rolled her eyes and took his hand "trust me okay, slap me, yell a few insults and walk away." Toby shook his head and she dropped his hand, "I have a plan, trust me" she mouthed to him and finally he understood.
"You bitch! And with him of all people! You disgust me!" his hand rose, ready to bring it down on her face he sent a million apologetic looks, it killed him to have to hit her. Her face stung and one tear escaped, she stared blankly back at the man in front of her. "Toby i-"she was cut off by the man running past her, Toby left the building to wait for her in the car. He began to shed silent tears, he would never forgive himself for hitting her, even if it was to protect their cover.
A soft hand on her shoulder sent shivers up Happy's spine "You look like you could do with a drink". This guy wasn't wasting any time, toby had barely been gone 12 seconds before this guy approached, thrusting a strong mix of Vodka and something else. Happy took a large gulp of the drink and coughed, 80/20 wasn't really a mix, and it might as well have been straight vodka. "Do you want to get out of here" he whispered , he grabbed at her waist and pulled her close. He had clearly had more to drink than she first guessed. "mhm" she nodded, trying to hide her queasiness. Happy let herself be lead out of the building she assumed he would lead her straight to his car and Gallo and his team would pounce. She couldn't have been more wrong, she was pinned against the wall and before she knew it the 'target' had his tongue down her throat. She squirmed but couldn't break free, he was easily 3 times her size and twice her weight, she only landed one good kick to his groin which caused him to loosen his grip on her and he stumbled to the ground.
Happy had removed one of her shoes and was about to bring the heel down on 'target's' head when her arm wag grabbed from someone behind her. "Hey, hey, hey" Toby's voice broke her rage and his hand slipped around her waist from behind. Gallo and his men surrounded the target and he was cuffed and dragged away. Happy turned around and rested her head on Toby's chest, "I'm so sorry, I should have known he would have tried something, I should have been waiting, I'm so sorry" he held her tight, one hand still around her waist holding her close to his body and the other holding her head to his chest. She nodded "it's okay" she shivered and Toby removed his jacket, he draped it over her shoulders. They drove back to Toby's apartment, ignoring the thousands of messages being received from Agent Gallo and the rest of the team.
Constructive criticism would be appreciated and reviews again :) Also I've noticed less people reading the latest chapters. If I'm doing something wrong or different I would appreciate any help to fix it :) Thanks for reading and reviewing.
