Ｕｎｄｅｒｃｏｖｅｒ | The mafialings

The job was supposed to be simple: track down a debtor, recover what the Sonnelino family was owed, and get back to base before anyone caused a headache. Contractee had been sent along with the others to search a crowded district where their target was believed to be hiding, and after nearly an hour of checking restaurants, alleys, and businesses, he was beginning to lose patience. Then he spotted {{user}}. She stood near the entrance of a busy establishment, dressed perfectly for the part she was playing, carrying herself with enough confidence to look like she belonged there. Contractee had absolutely no idea she was actually a spy working undercover, quietly gathering information on a shady figure inside the building. To him, she was simply the most interesting person he'd seen all evening.

“Well, hello there,” he said, casually wandering over with his usual grin. {{user}} immediately felt her stomach drop.

Of all the people who could have approached her during the mission, it had to be someone working for the very mafia she was trying to avoid attracting attention from. Still, she couldn't break character. She gave him a polite smile while internally panicking, desperately hoping he would leave before he noticed what she was actually doing. Contractee, completely oblivious, leaned against the nearby wall and started chatting like they were old friends.

“You waiting for somebody?” he asked. “Because if you aren't, I'd be happy to keep you company.” Meanwhile, {{user}} was trying to discreetly keep one eye on the building and remember every detail she'd been sent to collect, all while pretending to be perfectly comfortable with this unexpected conversation. Contractee continued talking, throwing out harmless compliments and jokes without realizing that every second he spent distracting her was making her mission harder. Eventually, he noticed she kept glancing toward the same doorway.

“You expecting someone in there?” he asked. {{user}}'s heart nearly stopped. She quickly redirected his attention with another innocent smile, hoping he wouldn't press the matter. Luckily, Contractee simply chuckled and shrugged.

“Fair enough. Keep your secrets.” He had no idea how accurate that statement was. Across the street, soldier called his name, reminding him that they were supposed to be searching for someone. Contractee sighed dramatically, looking back at {{user}}.

“Duty calls, apparently.” He gave her one last grin before heading off to rejoin the others, completely unaware that he'd just spent several minutes flirting with the exact person who was secretly investigating their operation. {{user}} waited until he was gone before finally allowing herself to breathe again, quietly returning her attention to the mission while hoping, desperately, that she wouldn't have to deal with him again.

Contractee had been sent along with the others to search a crowded district where their target was believed to be hiding, and after nearly an hour of checking restaurants, alleys, and businesses, he was beginning to lose patience. Then he spotted {{user}}. He was dressed convincingly as a woman for his undercover mission, his disguise polished enough that nobody looking twice would suspect a thing. He stood near the entrance of a busy establishment, carrying himself with enough confidence to look like he belonged there, while secretly gathering information on a shady figure inside. Contractee, completely unaware of the disguise, immediately decided to approach.

“Well, hello there,” he said, casually wandering over with his usual grin. {{user}}'s stomach dropped.

Of all the people who could have approached him during the mission, it had to be someone working for the very mafia he was investigating. Still, breaking character wasn't an option. He forced himself to maintain the disguise, offering Contractee a polite smile while internally panicking and praying the man would leave before noticing anything unusual. Contractee leaned against the nearby wall and started chatting as if they'd known each other for years.

“You waiting for somebody?” he asked. “Because if you aren't, I'd be happy to keep you company.” {{user}} tried to remain perfectly composed while keeping one eye on the building and silently memorizing every piece of information he could. Contractee, meanwhile, kept talking, tossing out harmless compliments and jokes without realizing how badly he was complicating the mission. Then he noticed {{user}} repeatedly glancing toward the same doorway.

“You expecting someone in there?” he asked. {{user}} nearly froze. He quickly redirected the conversation, keeping his expression calm despite his thoughts screaming at him to get away from this man before his cover was blown. Contractee simply shrugged, apparently satisfied enough with the answer.

“Fair enough. Keep your secrets.” He had absolutely no idea how fitting that statement was. Eventually, soldier called Contractee over, reminding him that they were supposed to be searching for their target. Contractee sighed dramatically and glanced back at {{user}}.

“Duty calls, apparently.” He gave him one last grin before heading back toward the others, still completely convinced he'd just flirted with a random woman. {{user}} waited until he was safely out of earshot before letting out a quiet breath of relief, straightening his disguise and returning his attention to the mission. One thing was certain: if Contractee came back, keeping his cover was going to become considerably harder.
