Little Daisy (New Shoes To Fill)

((Y/N)'s POV)

Mitzi walked out for a bit to go do something so Ivy was watching me and when she said we should have playtime, I thought she was going to play dress up again, but instead, she just covered me in some blankets and towels and tossed a penny into the pile somewhere for me to find. I thought this was going to be simple, but while I was crawling around to search for the penny, she started poking my sides which made me laugh. She wouldn't let me out until I found the penny, so I tried crawling around faster to find it, but it was hard when I fell to my side laughing.

(Y/N)'s mind-Where's the penny?!

(Ivy's POV)

I don't think (Y/N) noticed that I took the penny out of the pile so he will never find it. I'll put it back in, but not until I get my fill of playtime with him so when he is tuckered out, he'll be my little cuddle toy! His laughter was just so adorable and he scampered around under the blanket and towels all for a penny he was not going to find until I put it back. After a while, he was barely moving from being exhausted so I put the penny back in and it took him 3 minutes to find the penny. He poked his head out to catch his breath, so I picked him up and he was completely limp in my arms. 

I rubbed my nose on his cheek and he did try to struggle, but I just jumped into bed with him and held him up high with my arms and legs. He gave me these big goo-goo eyes while looking down at me and his hands were almost balled into little fists.

Ivy-I think we need to go swimming somewhere sometime soon. I'm sure your Mommy would love to help you learn how to swim. ~

When I said that he looked a little scared.

(Y/N)-B-But... Serafine.

Him saying that name made me feel a surge of anger which made me hope Ms. M was doing what I thought she was doing.

(Mitzi's POV)

I just got helped out of the car by Rocky and Freckle and I told them to wait outside this warehouse. I walked inside and I wished Viktor was the one doing this, but the poor thing might've been killed too soon, so I had two others on this job. One of which I was not here with the scrub with a sack over his head. Of course, Wick would be too soft for this even when he knows that he is on thin ice with me. Now, I have to punish him later.

Mitzi-Sigh... Where's the 'assistant' I told to be with you on the phone.

Zib-He wanted to be outside in the car. He rambled on about some duck too... Hehehehe.

Mitzi-Facinating. Take off the sack, Hun.

I took off my scarf and grabbed a corkscrew and when Zib took the sack off for the Marigold gangster to see us then took out the gag.

Mitzi-Well, hello there. I hope you appreciate me for not letting my biggest guy off his leash. I'm just hoping that we could talk.

Gangster-You bootleg mob boss! When Asa hears about one of his cars being hit and two of us gunned down-!

Mitzi-Well, of course, he is going to hear about it... ~ I'm done playing nice with him after he crossed me. Play your cards right and you may just get out of this alive.

Mitzi's mind-When pigs fly.

I stabbed the corkscrew into the arm of the chair, just barely missing him which made him jump. I motioned for Zib to step out and when we were alone.

Mitzi-Now... How did Asa know about my new son? The creature.

Gangster-What?... Are you off your rocker?! I don't know anything about you having a son or pet!

When he said the word pet, it got on my nerves, but I kept my composure.

Mitzi-So Asa sent two of his best down to see me on a nature trail just to check on me?

Gangster-I just get told to push stuff out and scare bums on the street! Animal trafficking is not something I do! AHHHHHHHH!!!

I stabbed his hand and twisted until the screw made it to the chair. He was now a grown-up crying like a baby until I gagged him again.

Mitzi-Don't. Ever... Call my son a pet. Mothers don't like that... Here is how things are going to go. You are going to tell me how Asa knew about my baby, I will make sure this doesn't happen again, and I am going to have Asa eating dirt before next week.

I pulled out his gag and this dumb bunny just wanted to play, but I was no fool. Asa had to have known I had something of interest and I was going to find out how.

(Wick's POV)

Zib was drinking and playing his trumpet while I tried to focus on the paper and drown out the sounds of the screaming. Rocky and Freckle were with us and Rocky brought his violin.

Rocky-Gentlemen, I propose a duet.

Gangster-Distant screams!

Wick-Please, hurry.

Rocky-Now, now. Art can not be rushed. Art comes when it is-.

Freckle-Just play something!... Please.

They started to play something, but I could still hear all the screams in my head and then I saw the duck. All of this was making me sick and I know Mitzi had me leave things to my assistant so she could punish me here, but wasn't poisoning me and cleaning up my breakfast on the floor punishment enough?! Soon, I couldn't handle it and decided that enough had to be enough before we start something that will be very dangerous.

Zib-Where are you going?

Wick-I am going to speak with Mitzi. For goodness' sake, she is going to start a gang war if this goes on!

Zib-She had many cars bombed and others in Marigold killed after she was ambushed and had her... son kidnapped. I think that ship has long since sailed. I'd leave her be right now.

Rocky-Listen to him, Old Sport. Those with the longest of fuses have the biggest of explosions.

What concerns me most is that Rocky was aware of this, but someone has to stop this... Maybe she is not as mad at me anymore, so I went inside. First I covered my ears, but then I noticed that it got really quiet... I really missed the music outside, but I kept on going.

Wick-M-Mitzi... May I speak f-for a moment?

There was no response and when I made it to the room we brought the captive too, I saw the lifeless body and Mitzi collecting herself while barely looking at me. She was looking more into her small mirror.

Mitzi-... Wick... Something bothering you?

Wick-Mitzi, you have your son back and all sorts of plans to keep it that way... Isn't that enough?

Mitzi-You know what that little pawn told me?... He told me that Asa hasn't once taken his eyes away from Lackadaisy even though my husband died. He's never going to leave us alone and made it clear he wants what I have... This city, the business, the booze,... and now my new baby boy.

Wick-That does sound troubling, but I believe we can talk about this like adults instead of all this chaos and bloodshed.

Mitzi-Asa made it clear that he doesn't want to talk and now I don't either... Go get 10 crates of dynamite and tell the boys to go back some heat as well as everyone else. I'm moving my baby somewhere farther away from what is going to happen tomorrow night.

Wick-What are you gonna do with all that-?

Just then she pulled out a pistol from her bag and pointed it at me when she done dolling herself up.

Mitzi-Wick, Sweetie... Do what you are told.

((Y/N)'s POV)

Ivy and I were cuddling and listening to something that was actually funny on the radio. This felt nice and when the food she ordered from the hotel came up, she had me wait in a spot they couldn't see me from the door, pay the man right away, and come back in with the chicken stripes and waffles... She also had a cake.

Ivy-Remember, the cake is our little secret... Now, go sit down and get ready to open up and say 'ahhhhh'. ~

Some things did still feel weird, but I think I was starting to think about where Mitzi was and when she would get might... I think I miss her given that she is better than Serafine by a lot and doesn't bow to me like Nina does. When Ivy got the food ready on the table then put me on her lep to feed me, I remembered that Mitzi was fluffier and soft while smelling nice.

(Y/N)'s mind-Do I really miss Mitzi that much?

(Serafine's POV)

With the boss gone and I got rid of any morons too loyal to him, I made myself comfy in the big chair, but not too much. That bitch still has my prize and I am going to get him back to live in my new office. I even had my new best man on the job and he just came in to be breifed.

Serafine-There he is. The Hatchet Man. Good times, right?

Mordecai-It indeed happened much to your deception.

Serafine-Hehehehe, well with that aside, you know of my newfound power. You can consider this my first order... I need you to find and take something from your old crew.

He raised his eyebrow a little.

Mordecai-What is it?
