Ch.11-Spring Cleaning TWST Mafia AU

“Jaaaaddeeee!” Floyd whined loudly and in a bored manner, he was laying back on one of the lounge's couches before continuing to complain. “I’m bored!”

Said twin brother was cleaning up the counter and making sure all the glasses were cleaned as well, he grinned in amusement at his brother as he replied. “Well, why don’t you check on the kitchen staff?”

“I already did!”

“Check with Azul about other tasks?”

“I don’t want to.”

“Jobs requiring you to visit the casino?”

“Goldfishie said that if I don’t leave him alone for an entire month that he would ban me.”

“Oh? How long ago did he say that?”

“Three days ago..”

Jade only chuckled at his brother before walking from around the counter and saying. “I would not worry, eventually he will call for you. But I cannot think of any tasks that are fun and can cure your boredom as well.”

Floyd let out another aggravated groan and got up from the couch, stretching his arms up until several pops were heard. “We have not had a fun job in ages!”

“I thought you really enjoyed wrangling those party crashers at the casino a couple weeks ago?” Jade questioned while walking over to the stage to check the music stands.

“Well yeah! But that was two weeks ago!” Floyd pouted and walked over to the bar, preparing to make himself a drink when Azul came out from his office and scolded.

“Floyd! Do not waste my materials, those bottles of champagne were expensive.” Floyd scoffed but put the bottle away and Jade walked over with an amused chuckle. Azul only shrugged off his mild annoyance to hand the twins a folder. “Look, the club will be opening soon but while I am running it, I need you both to run an errand for me. Idia reported that a few men have been getting in the way of his routes to hospitals, by what he and Ortho could find out, they are part of Leona’s pride and have been making it troublesome for Idia to obtain blood and other things to heal people.”

Jade opened the folder to look at the dark images and small file of information while Floyd just rested his chin on an open palm, the lazier of the two leaned against the counter and asked. “Isn’t Firefly-squid’s home supposed to be off limits to gang rivalry?”

Azul fixed his glasses while replying. “Yes, which means Leona was probably trying to be quiet with his attack. He is not directly attacking Idia but his plan is probably to limit our access to medical attention.”

“Giving him a chance to choke our medical needs then attack us when things are at their worst.” Jade summarized before setting the paper down. “So, what are we going to do about this?”

“Well, I tried contacting Leona..but his lackey’s firmly told me “up yours” when I told them not to interfere. The last two people I sent to drive the gang members away were grievously injured and nearly dead.” Azul then smirked and looked at the two. “I see no reason why you boys cannot give them the same treatment.”

Floyd grinned at his words and shouted with excitement. “Finally! Something exciting to take care of!”

“We will try to keep it a “clean” job.” Jade responded with a grin of his own and started heading to the exit, Floyd immediately following with a happy skip in his step.

They both agreed it would be better to walk, that way they would not need to worry about traffic or carjacking, and they had a pleasant conversation of what they would do to the Afterglow men while heading to the Golden Sands district. The Lamenting streets stretched between the Coral district and the Afterglow while the base remained under the Golden Sand’s lively city, and considering a majority of hospitals were in the Golden Sands that must have meant the troublemakers would be somewhere in the lavish city. Floyd and Jade did stand out from most people, especially in their suits while walking down the street, but neither of them cared and both took turns stopping at different stores to explore them. Vacations were not something the club members really got on account that they were so busy running the club or doing Azul’s side jobs for him, and the twins enjoyed whatever days they could get off. Jade’s personal interests were heading to the farmlands in the south or the mountains up north, exploring various plants and animals in both areas. Floyd however enjoyed the city, he liked to parkour on the rooftops or in some cases enjoyed watching sport tournaments that were hosted in the grand city.

For a moment they stopped for lunch at a cafe across from the alleyway that led to the Lamenting Streets, enjoying a chat while waiting for any sign of the gang members. Floyd’s laugh was boisterous while Jade settled for devilish chuckles, it disturbed some of the people but they quieted down a bit and continued their conversation, Floyd bringing up something off topic entirely. “So how is sea turtle?”

“He’s fine, we have not seen each other in a few weeks though.” Jade replied humbly. “And with both of us having incredibly busy schedules it is hard to meet up.”

“I’m sure you could talk to Goldfish to give him a couple days off.” Floyd chuckled quietly while slouching over the table.

“Perhaps, but I would also need to convince Azul to give me time off. Speaking of Riddle, what exactly did you do to make him kick you out?”

A pout crossed Floyd’s expression as he mumbled. “Goldfishie said something about being busy or that he couldn’t have me distract him. When I tried to use my usual charm he flat out threw a dart at my head!”

“Floyd, your “charm” normally pisses him off more rather than helps the situation. You’re not a romantic soul.”

“Hey! I can be romantic! I just don’t like to because it’s a pain and Goldfishie looks weirded out whenever I do.”

Jade chuckled before glancing out the window and noticing some figures in the alley. “I believe they’re here now. Let’s make this a quick job.”

Floyd’s eyes gazed over and smirked as he purred. “I go up and you go in?”

“Yep, just like we always like it.” Jade replied and paid for their meal before leaving the building, Floyd followed behind but as they reached the alley he started climbing up the side of the brick building and pushed off to the next building.

Jade watched his brother for a moment before walking further into the darkened alley, even in broad daylight the Lamenting Streets always were chilled with darkness, he paused for a moment to take count of the men gathered in the darkness. After he counted five he then looked up to see Floyd looking over the side of the building, he showed an open palm to his brother to signify the amount of people. Floyd tilted his head for a second before giving him the thumbs up and pulling away from the side of the building. Jade decided to listen for a bit before making his move, his hearing may have not been the best but he could pick up on a couple things that were said.

“Sometime today right?”

“Yeah…hope they don’t..”

“It’s under the casino right?”

“Keep your voice down!” One voice hissed in particular.

“Why are we even doing this?”

Jade released a frustrated sigh since he could barely understand what they were all talking about, choosing to step out then and smiled at the men as he walked closer. “Now this is interesting, here I was seeing medical assistance and I see there are others here too. Oh? But none of you are injured..”

The five looked over at Jade, one stood out in particular because of his height and piercing golden eyes, but the other four were slightly shorter and nothing too intriguing about them at all. One of them, to which must have been leading this group, had spiky red hair and stepped forward while growling at Jade. “Buzz off mob scum, the place is closed right now.”

“I was only trying to seek medical help..” Jade replied, forcing tears into his eyes, fake crying was an easy practice for him as he sniffled a bit.

Soon the tallest stepped forward and commented. “Rocky, maybe he actually needs help-”

“Piss off Jack, he’s playing you.” Rocky, an interesting name for the gang member, replied and shoved Jade back a bit. “And you, fuck off!”

“Oh now you’ve really hurt my feelings..” Jade sighed before flipping out a knife from his pocket and cutting across Rocky’s neck, the hawksbill blade dug into the skin with ease and speed that caused blood to run down in rivers.

Jack stepped back, his eyes widened with shock and fear as Rocky dropped dead and Jade only smirked, seemingly not caring about the blood that was now pooling on the pavement. Two of the other members shouted in anger and charged at Jade, only for them to be tackled down by a fast descending Floyd who landed on top of them. Floyd laughed maniacally as he easily got off the two and punched the fourth member as he charged at him, the fourth man however grabbed a hold of Floyd’s arm and dug his own knife into Floyd’s right shoulder. Jade gladly stepped on one member that was still on the ground and helped the other one up before slashing at his collar bone as well, he dug the heel of his shoe into the neck of the man on the ground and kept it pressed there to choke him.

Jack finally shook himself out of his daze, he grabbed the back of Jade’s suit and flung him across the alley, his back meeting with the wall in a painful thud. Floyd wrestled the fourth gang member's knife away before snarling and breaking the man’s arm, then took his opportunity to snap his neck and stop the man’s scream of pain. His eyes glowed with anger as he noticed his brother on the ground and his lips curved into a frown as he swayed closer to Jack, who was trying to help his friend up from the ground. “What did you do to Jade?”

The larger gang member slowly backed up and held his friend up; he couldn’t risk letting go since the man was recovering from his lack of oxygen. “Look we will leave-”

Before Jack could even finish his sentence, the third gang member went limp and Jade’s knife was embedded in the man’s back, Jade only smirked with satisfaction as he said. “Good, if you answer our questions then you can go.”

“What in the seven hells are you guys doing!?” All three turned to look at Idia, who was staring at the mess with disgust and anger. “Right at my door?!”

“Oh hey Firefly squid!” Floyd waved to Idia and chuckled. “Two of these guys are dead but one of them might still be alive.”

“Idia! Please help him.” Jack called out, motioning to the man he was still trying to support, who groaned in anguish.

Idia sighed in exhaustion and snapped his fingers, two men coming out and dragging the two dead bodies in before two more appeared and lifted the wounded gang member. “I’ll take care of them, you all can heal yourselves. But no more dead bodies outside my door.”

The door slammed closed and the twins grinned at Jack maliciously, Floyd speaking up first. “Well that’s a shame~ I was looking to go a few rounds with you, I bet you’re an awesome wrestler!”

Jack felt a shudder down his spine as he growled back as threateningly as he could. “This was not supposed to happen on the job, we were just trying to-”

“Choke our medical supplies, we know.” Jade replied with a chuckle and cleaned off his knife with a handkerchief.

“Look, I don’t even like fighting! I only came because Ruggie said this was light work and no one would get hurt!”

“Ah, sharksucker said that? That’s hilarious! He should know any jobs that interfere with us are bound to have blood shed!” Floyd cackles with glee.

Jade thought to himself before asking Jack. “Not that it really is any of our business, but what were your people talking about with the casino?”

This time Jack looked uncertain and worried, rather than being afraid or angry, his eyes averted from them but Floyd got impatient and snapped. “Spit it out sea urchin!”

“A raid!” Jack shouted, actually causing the twins to step back in surprise. “I-I knew it was a bad idea, it was a really stupid idea, but Leona said it was the best chance they had.”

“To do what?” Jade prodded carefully, noticing the distress growing in Jack’s eyes.

“There’s pipe work under the casino..” Jack replied grimly. “But Leona wants to drive away the business for good and send a message to all construction owners.”

Floyd’s eyes glinted in anger before growling back. “And just what is he planning to do?”

Jade’s eyes widened in surprise but before he could get a word out a silent shot sounded and he felt a quick sharp pain in his shoulder, a small dart was embedded into his shoulder followed by a second into his thigh. Floyd was quick to get out of the way of a third and Jack jumped back before looking up at the roof of the buildings around them. Ruggie stood up on one of the rooftops and smirked as he taunted. “Sorry you two, but this isn’t stuff for you to hear~”

Jack quickly ran out of the alley and Floyd took cover behind a trash bin before snarling. “You’re going to regret that shark sucker!”

Jade tried to quickly remove the darts before seeking cover and knew he only had a few minutes before his body would give out on him. He caught Floyd’s gaze and motioned his head up to the roof that Ruggie was on, the angered twin nodded and quickly ran out while narrowly escaping another dart. Once he reached his brother, Jade clasped his hands with his palms open and Floyd quickly used him as a step to climb up the wall quickly, the heterochromic eyes glaring at the retreating figure of Ruggie. “Jade-”

“Go, I’ll call Azul!” Jade yelled up before taking out his phone for the call.

Floyd ran after Ruggie in a rage, even though Ruggie was really fast and could easily hide anywhere, the dart gun on his back made him stand out. The blonde looked back for a second before jumping onto the next roof and slid down the nearby emergency exit stairs, he landed just as Floyd jumped over the edge and grasped onto the rails of the stairs. Floyd gritted his teeth as he kept tunnel vision on Ruggie, the smaller man running through the crowd with ease and attempting to disappear. This chase dragged on, both of them pushing over people, avoiding bikers, occasionally breaking off into traffic to run across the street. Ruggie was just fueled by pure panic and Floyd was pushed on with the idea of breaking Ruggie’s arms. Finally Ruggie got an idea and grinned, he slid down one of the tight alleys that were comprised of stone steps and ran down before turning around and holding the gun’s scope to his eye. He was able to catch his breath at least while he waited for Floyd, but he grew on edge again as Floyd had yet to appear. Slowly he moved his gun down but then looked up as Floyd jumped down from the roof of the building and tackled him, Ruggie’s head met with the stone steps and he grunted in pain while using the gun as a shield to keep the angry twin off him.

“You’re gonna die shark sucker!” Floyd snarled angrily as he finally forced the gun away from Ruggie’s hands, moving to grab at the blonde but a butterfly knife was flicked out and cut at both of Floyd’s hands.

Ruggie managed to roll out from under Floyd when the taller man recoiled, albeit uncomfortably because of the stone, and snagged out a needle from his pocket before jamming it into Floyd’s shoulder and pushed the plunger down. “Sorry Floyd, but I’ve got more work to do.”

“Game isn’t over yet!” The twin already felt drowsy but managed to grab at Ruggie’s arm and slammed him into the wall, then proceeded to throw him down the steps where Ruggie had no choice but to cover his head until his body lost momentum. Floyd however quickly followed and kicked Ruggie hard enough that the blonde coughed up blood and was staggering to get up. “Alright Shark sucker, this has been fun, but whoever messes with Goldfishie is dealing with me!”

Ruggie chuckled as he slowly got to his feet and backed up carefully as Floyd was staggering to him. “Awe come on Floyd, I am just doing my job. Why all the hostilities?”

“A job to damage the casino, eh? Not bad, except the fact that you pissed me off in the process!”

“Look Leona honestly was going to ignore you guys completely..” Ruggie shrugged and then smirked in a mischievous manner. “But I convinced him that a message has to be loud in order for anyone to hear it. Be lucky, that's just a sedative..”

Floyd finally had to lean on the wall but was still overcome with rage and managed to lunge at Ruggie and land a blow to his cheek, when Ruggie reached an arm up to press on Floyd’s knife wound the twin latched his slightly sharper teeth into the man’s wrist and copper blood filled his mouth. Ruggie screamed in pain but the attack was short lived when Floyd felt a foot connect with his side and was kicked off of Ruggie, Jack helped up Ruggie and said something quietly before handing the blonde his tranquilizer gun. Ruggie grunted as he took the weapon, ignoring the blood running down his hand and shot once into Floyd’s leg before walking off with Jack. Floyd tried to force himself up but his body felt so heavy that he collapsed and only had the strength to take out his phone. He quickly dialed the speed number he had and waited for it as patiently as he could, trying not to break the phone in his grip.

“Hello?”

“G-goldfish?”

“Floyd? For the love of-I’m busy right now-”

“The basement.” Floyd snapped back, not wanting to mess around. “Watch..the basement..”

“Floyd? What’s going on? Are you alright?”

“Just watch the basement..” Floyd replied quietly, ignoring Riddle’s yelling on the other end as he slowly passed out.

A rude awakening greeted Floyd and Jade when smelling salts were moved under their noses and they snapped awake, Idia and several other members of the club had them in Idia’s workspace on separate tables. Othro moved the bottle away and said cheerfully. “Hello you two! Welcome back to the living, my brother and I took the liberty of fixing your wounds!”

“W-what time is it?” Jade asked softly as he shook his head to focus again.

“It’s a little past five.” Ortho replied and skated over to a table where their clothes had been neatly folded up and cleaned, he skated back to them and placed their clothes on their laps. “Here! Azul called in a favor to my bro, but he said to hurry to the casino.”

“Holy shit..” Floyd groaned as he rubbed his head. “How long were we out?”

“About an hour? It was easier to heal you both up before waking you two.”

The twins sluggishly got dressed, trying to piece themselves together before Jade mentioned. “Leona must be planning a bomb attack or something..the basement of the casino has all sorts of piping under the place.”

“Yeah, and if there’s something flammable then the whole place will burn up..” Floyd growled a bit and then looked at Ortho. “Do you have a car we can use?”

“No sorry..but you can always ask Kalim! The bank does not close until six!” Ortho replied and took out his phone. “I’ll give them a call-”

“No,” Jade replied as he got his shoes on. “I have something better. Remember that motorcycle dealership nearby? I think the owner owes us.”

Floyd grinned at his brother's suggestion and quickly finished dressing, the twins ran out with new surges of energy and hurried to the nearby motorcycle business. It was a small business but it was easy for the two to threaten their way into getting a thunderhead colored bike with some helmets. Jade decided to drive, knowing his brother would sooner hit something with the motorcycle rather than reach their destination, all in the name of fun. Floyd still had fun yelling with joy as they sped down the streets towards the Rose district, Jade smiling a bit at his brother's excitable mood.

While driving Jade yelled back to Floyd. “Alright! Here is the plan, you and I will go straight to Trey, he can give us the key that gets into the maintenance area of the building!”

“Great, except one problem, you said he doesn’t keep his phone on while working, which means we have to find him first and that means we have to get in through the front gates. Those newbies will slow us down!”

Jade knew Floyd had a good point, anytime the casino hired someone new they were signed up for the checking counter, new people were always tense and obeyed every single rule with worries of having Riddle’s wrath brought down on them. Trying to explain a possible bomb threat may or may not give them reason to call Trey if there was a rule to prove they were telling the truth. “Alright, so in that case, you and I will have to charge in, or distract them.”

“You can slip by easier! I’ll find a way to cause a distraction.” Floyd immediately responded, obviously anytime there was a chance to make some noise he would take it.

As they pulled up it was a little past 5:30 and the twins abandoned the bike at the valet parking, the man called out but the two ignored him and ran inside.From the grand entrance, Floyd nodded to Jade before walking up to the counter and shouting loudly. “Where is the manager?”

Many people turned to him in shock and curiosity, giving Jade a chance to slip by while Floyd continued shouting nonsense. Jade hurried up the stairs and grunted at the soreness of his body, but he continued to search around in a hurry before seeing a familiar face. “Ace! Where is Trey?”

Ace looked at Floyd with surprise before commenting. “Uh he’s in a meeting but you can’t- Oi! Jade!”

Jade ran past him to the stairs, heading to the third floor while Ace followed after him and Jade excessively started yelling for Trey. Although Ace knew he was no match for the twin, he had to at least slow him down and pounced onto the twin, effectively sending both of them to the floor and causing a few people to look over and whisper their shock. “Jade! What is wrong with you?!”

A door opened to where Trey and Cater stepped out with surprise, Cater moving Ace off and telling him to yield while Trey helped Jade to his feet. Cater was the first to question. “Hey what’s going on here? Ace, we don’t tackle our guests!”

“Jade, what’s-” Trey tried to ask with concern but Jade only stopped with an exclamation of his own.

“Trey! Has anyone gone to the maintenance room recently?”

“I’m not sure, why?”

“There’s a threat from the Afterglow boys..” Jade replied, quieter this time from their onlookers.

Cater and Ace froze before getting a look from Trey, the two ran off and the green haired man ushered Jade into the meeting room he was just in. “It’s alright Jade, breathe, Ace and Cater will look but what is happening?”

“T-there might be a bomb threat. We have to call for an evacuation.” Jade replied tiredly, his body throbbed in aches and his mind was still somewhat dizzy from the tranquilizers.

“Okay, I’ll contact Riddle, just sit tight for a moment.” Trey took out his phone and quickly noticed the messages from Riddle, he called his friend back and started to speak. “Riddle, where are-”

“Do you have any idea where Jade is?!” Riddle shouted in concern. “Floyd just told me there was possibly a bomb here?”

“That’s right, we need to start evacuating just in case.”

“Agreed, I’ll have Floyd-Floyd?” Riddle paused for a second before he snapped. “The bastard just ran off! After all the chaos he caused down here he just left!”

Trey sighed as he paced in the room. “Riddle, he probably went to assist Cater and Ace, I just sent them to the maintenance room.”

“Alright, I’ll work on getting the downstairs evacuated but do not let anyone panic!”

“Right.” Trey hung up and turned but noticed Jade was gone and the door was opened, he let out an aggravated sigh before running out to inform people they had to evacuate for a miniscule reason.

In the basement hall, Cater unlocked the door and peered inside the careful navigation of pipeworks, Ace was the first to step in as he narrowed his eyes and peered around each corner carefully. The two cards made their way deeper into the system before both turned to see the twins walking in. Cater breathed softly as he took out his taser and asked quietly. “So is someone here?”

“We’re not sure..” Floyd grumbled as he stormed in and pushed past them. “But I’ll tear their throats out if they are.”

Ace scoffed and asked. “Are you guys even going to tell us who or what we’re looking for?”

“Possibly a bomb or a person..” Jade answered, calming himself after he had run down there in a hurry.

There was a clank noise that echoed in the room and the twins rushed ahead, slowing down when seeing two gang members and immediately the two tackled them. Ace and Cater followed soon after the orange haired man knelt down to see a black on the ground with a couple wires. “That’s a bomb alright, Ace, do you have a knife?”

“W-wait a real bomb!? Shouldn’t we call the police?!” Ace asked then glanced at Floyd and Jade with a grimace as they dealt with the two gang members.

“Ace, knife.” Cater ordered with zero hesitation and finally the other gave his knife up.

The twins made quick work of subduing the gang members, both of them knew Trey and Riddle would be furious if they killed them, and Ace made his way over to handcuff them both. Floyd just gave a strange look to Ace as he asked. “Why do you guys carry around handcuffs again?”

“It’s just part of our policy. Subdue and then let the security take over, only managers like Cater can carry tasers.”

Jade looked at Cater as the man focused with the small device and commented lightly. “I had no idea you could defuse a bomb..”

“Well you learn a lot when you stay with friends, lock picking, bomb disarming, it’s just another hobby in the end.” Cater replied cheerfully before adding. “Now get out of here, it would be stupid for all of us to be blown up if I don’t do this right.”

“No way, I’m staying.” Ace replied quickly and watched Cater work on the bomb, then looked up at the twins. “You two can go, I can call Trey or Riddle if there’s a problem.”

“Wouldn’t it be easier just to..cut all the wires?” Floyd asked with curiosity, the gleam in his eyes made Jade nervous.

“No, if I cut the wrong one then it’ll still go off.”

“So which is the right one?”

“Floyd..” Jade warned quietly. “Do not interfere.”

“It’s just a question Jade~” Oh no, Jade thought, that playful grin was very familiar to him.

“Well it’s hard to say…it either has to be the red or-” Before Cater could finish, Floyd snatched his brothers knife from his belt and cut the red wire, everyone held their breaths but nothing happened and Ace finally shouted at him.

“Don’t fucking do that ever again you jack ass!”

“Got something to say crabby~?” Floyd asked, Jade trying to shake Cater out of his petrified state and moved the bomb out of his hand.

It was safe to say that Azul, Riddle, and Trey gave Floyd a scolding when Cater was brought out unconscious and Ace explained what happened. But to Jade, he could only smile at the scene, being reminded of the special chaotic day they had and how much fun it would be to have this happen more often.
