Lucy's POV

I groaned as it was another boring day of office work at the precinct; crime had been really low lately so I had been reduced to covering stupid things like speeding tickets or petty theft. This angered me, to say the least, because after I had graduated from the academy, I was expecting a life of cool things like high speed chases or gunfights. Sure, these things happened occasionally, but not enough to my liking.

"You alright over there, Heartfilia?" I turned to see my partner, Erza Scarlet, looking at me with a bit of concern.

I nodded, "I'm all good; I'm just done with this desk work," I said, and I could see Erza nod her agreement.

"You could always try to win the promotion," she said, nodding over to the reward poster sitting on my desk. You see, Laxus, the Police Chief, was offering a promotion to deputy at whoever could bring Fiore's most powerful drug lord to justice; Natsu Dragneel. He has managed to avoid police capture all these years, and every time we catch wind of his location, he has already moved. Some had suspected that Natsu had a mole in the force, which wouldn't surprise me, as I knew that Natsu was no fool, judging from the reports that other officers had put in after their attempts to find him.

"Believe me, Erza, I will," I grinned, and I turned back to my desk to continue filling out this report for this cat burglar I had brought in earlier. It was true what I had said; I did plan on winning that promotion and I did plan on bringing Natsu's criminal empire down. I had already placed a contact near the location that had been reported as Natsu's last whereabouts. I told the contact to find one of Natsu's local dealers and to report back to me with their findings. Then after I had made contact with the dealer, I would request a spot in the circle. Once I was inside, I would fool Natsu into believing that I wanted to be a full-time dealer and then I would start tearing his circle down from within, and once he had lost it all, I would bring him in and secure that promotion.

"Heartfilia, did you finish that report yet?" I looked up as I heard the booming voice of Laxus from behind me.

Turning around, I handed him the report, "Yes sir, here it is," I said, and he nodded his approval before walking off with the folder.

"I get the sense Laxus doesn't like me very much," I said, turning to Erza.

Erza shrugged, "I don't think he likes anyone," she replied, not looking up from her work. I glanced at my phone so I could check the time; it read 12:30pm.

"I'm going to lunch," I said, grabbing my coat. In reality, I was going to go meet my contact to get the final details ready so I could start my plan to take down Natsu.

Natsu's POV

"You told me you would have the money by tonight; so where is it?" I demanded, looking at the shivering man in front of me.

"It was s-stolen, boss, I swear," he gulped, "my house was broken into last night, and both the stash and the money was stolen," I smirked, rising from my desk.

"Is that so?" I asked, advancing towards the shivering man, "Because I had my men inspect your house while you were out last night and they told me that there appeared to be no signs of a break in," I whispered in the man's ear, and I could hear his heart beating rapidly.

"So why don't you make this easy and tell me where the money is… now," I enunciated on the 'now' so I could make my point.

"I swear I don't know, boss," he whimpered, "please give me another chance," he dropped to his knees, his hands resembling that of one who prays.

I shook my head, "I'm afraid I've given you too many chances already; you are no longer of any use to me," I said, and I reached down into my boot and pulled out the pistol I kept strapped in there. Before the man could even protest, I pulled the trigger and the bullet hit him square in the forehead. I smiled in triumph as the man dropped to the floor.

"Gajeel, get one of the ladies to clean this up," I said, motioning to my black haired bodyguard by the door. He nodded and disappeared out of the room.

Putting the pistol back in my boot, I sat down, "Can I just get one competent dealer who can actually deliver what they promise? All these half-assed wannabees barely bring in enough anymore," I said to myself, tapping my fingers on the desk. If I didn't find some better dealers with better connections then I was at risk of losing my empire for good, and that was not an option.

Rubbing a hand through my pink hair, I rose from my desk, "Sting, I'm going out; keep an eye on my stuff," I said, looking over at my other bodyguard in the opposite corner.

He nodded, "Of course, sir," I returned his nod and exited the room.

Lucy's POV

"So you know the plan?" I asked, looking at Levy, the friend who had agreed to be my contact.

She nodded, "I go down to the pier and wait for one of the local dealers to arrive; I tell them I'm interested in buying and ask to meet back there later after I get the money," she replies, and I smile as she remembered the plan detail for detail.

I smiled, "Good," Levy returned my smile, "thank you so much for doing this,"

"It's no problem," Levy shrugged, "you're my best friend and I've always got your back,"

"I appreciate that," I said, taking a sip of the coffee I had purchased when we came to the shop earlier.

"So do you think you'll be able to catch him," the bluenette asked, taking a sip of her tea.

I nodded, "It'll be really difficult, but I know it isn't impossible. Every drug circle has a weak spot and all I have to do is find it," I explained.

"Your job is so much more interesting than mine; I'm just some boring author," Levy sighed.

I shook my head, "Don't say that, your books are amazing!" I said, smiling at her. Levy smiled too and we both took a sip of our drinks.

I looked at my phone, "I need to get back to work… I'll call you later," I said, and I rose from the table and exited the coffee shop. Tonight was the night we were setting the plan in motion; tonight was the night I would be excepted as a 'member' of Natsu's inner circle and then I would destroy his little empire piece by piece until he had nothing and then I would throw his rotten ass in jail. I hadn't been this excited about an assignment since I had stopped the notorious serial killer, Zeref, a couple months back. Now that was hard case; for Zeref had managed to cover every single track he mad, and had even planted fingerprints of other known killers to throw his trail cold. I had almost given up on that case until he had broken in to the house down the street from me and I had been alerted via some of the eyes I kept in the neighborhood. That assignment however seemed a cakewalk compared to the one that lay ahead. I knew taking down Natsu would be hard; he was powerful and he was smart. He had evaded capture for three years ever since we discovered his identity. We had arrested several of his suppliers, but none of them would talk. I also knew this would be tough because this was a drug operation; a band of people who were only loyal to one thing; money. As long as money traded hands and drugs were sold, these people were ready to kill to keep their operation alive. This was one operation I had to be 100% precise on and one mistake could cost me my life. I knew this because we had found some of Natsu's identified dealers dead, a bullet hole in their heads, and I could only guess that they had pissed of Natsu in some manner.

"Don't fret, Lucy, you got this," I told myself as I walked back down the street towards the precinct. Work went by really slow after that however, as I couldn't wait for tonight's events.

Levy's POV

It was time; it was time for me to go meet one of the dealers and establish a contact for Lucy. Not going to lie, I was really nervous! I mean, I didn't mind helping my best friend, but this was a drug dealer that I was meeting, and we all know that they are a dangerous sort. That reminds me, I once read a cool novel about a dr- oh shut up Levy, now is not the time to talk about books!

I had made it to the pier, and there I saw a man with flowing black hair and piercings, and he was casually smoking a cigarette, "Are you Levy McGarden?" he asked as I approached, his red eyes glowing in the moonlight.

I gulped, "Y-yes," I said, my voice shaking as I approached the big man.

He raised his eyebrow, "You nervous, shrimp?" he chuckled. I said nothing.

"Anyway you got the money?" he asked, his voice no longer carrying the bit of humor it had a minute ago.

"No, but I was just about to go run to an ATM. I'll be back in like ten minutes," I said, and once he nodded, I turned and ran back to the alley where I had come from out to the main road, where Lucy was waiting.

Lucy's POV

I saw Levy approaching, "How'd it go?" I asked as she came up to me, panting a bit.

She shrugged, "Good? But anyway I told him I'd be back with the money so I guess this is where you take over," Levy said.

"It is, thanks again," I said, giving her a quick hug.

"Good luck," she said, and she twisted on her heel and walked off. I made my way back down the alley and over to the pier where I saw a man with black hair and piercings. I recognized him from one of the status reports; he was Gajeel Redfox, one of Natsu's personal enforcers. The fact that Natsu sent him told me that they were having a shortage of dealers.

Gajeel looked up, "Who are you?" he asked, his voice rough, and for some strange reason it reminded me of metal.

"I just heard from my friend Levy that you were selling here. She wasn't interested but I am, and in fact, I was wondering if I could possibly help you with dealing." I explained, and I saw his red eyes widen in surprise.

"You want to deal? A little petite girl like you," he said, laughing a bit. Oh how bad I wanted to slap some handcuffs on this dude right now.

I ignored his comment, "Yes, so can I get in?" I asked.

Gajeel shrugged, "It's not for me to decide; I'll take you to meet the boss," he said, and I nodded, following Gajeel down the docks to a warehouse that was at the very end. So this is where they were operating right now…

Once we were inside, I saw Gajeel signal for me to stop, "Wait here while I go get him," I said, and I obeyed, watching Gajeel stalk off to go find Natsu. My nose crinkled as this entire place smelled like marijuana, crack and cigarette smoke; it was honestly very repulsive.

A couple of minutes later, I heard footsteps approaching and I turned to see Gajeel approaching with a man beside him, his hair spiky and pink, his eyes a deep onyx, "So is this her?" I heard the pink haired man say. Gajeel just nodded.

The pink haired man approached me, "Well, my associate here says you are interested in joining our little circle; what is your name?" he asked.

"Layla," I said, having decided not use my real name in order to decrease my chances of being discovered.

"Well Layla, I'm Natsu Dragneel, and I run this little operation," he said, giving me a weird toothy grin. So this was Natsu? This pink haired buffoon standing in front of me; from everything I had heard, I was expecting someone, well, not as funny looking that's for sure.

"Nice to meet you, Natsu… so am I in?" I asked, praying that Natsu would accept me so I could throw his ass in jail.

Natsu studied me for a minute and then nodded, "You seem smart, and I need smart dealers right now… so welcome aboard," he said, extending his hand to shake mine. Gross, I had to touch him.

"Thanks," I said, and I took his hand, shaking it quickly before letting go. I did it! I was in, and now all I had to do was earn Natsu's trust and start taking down his little operation from inside. I was going to be the one to take down the all powerful Natsu Dragneel, and I was going to be the next deputy of police.

A/N: So I have no idea how a drug circle actually works so don't judge me if it seems weird! Anyway let me know how you guys feel about this chapter and if I should continue!
