(Y/n) – Your Name
(F/n) – Full Name
(L/n) – Last Name

(Y/n) woke up early the next day probably because she was so existed that her family got back today. Walking into the living room she turned the tv on but keep it low so she didn't wake up the two sleeping men upstairs. She was a guest in their house so didn't want to be rude and wake them up at 5am.
Smoker was usually up early anyway since he usually did a lot of work even on his days off. He was a lot like (Y/n)'s father when it came to the job but Smoker did take a lot more time off during the year though.
Those two would be starting their week-long vacation today in fact but (Y/n) was sure the man would rather be at home then at Ace's families house but Ace should keep Smoker safe while they were away. Now speaking of Ace that man probably wouldn't wake up until Smoker forcefully pushed him off the bed.
Her thoughts went back to the tv but her mind kept going back to something else, that man, she was trying not to think of him but couldn't help to wonder who he was. Not just anyone can walk out of a police station after committing multiple felonies. Maybe it would be worth learning more about him since as much as she wanted to pretend, he didn't exist she couldn't, he was a very real and a very dangerous threat to her right now.

Doffy was up early as he read through the latest documents Vergo had faxed him last night. He looked the last page before he stored them in his desk drawer for later. Having not gotten much sleep last night the man thought it would be best to start working on an apology letter for (Y/n).
It sounded like a simple task for the man but he just couldn't get it right. There were already multiple balled up pieces of paper surrounding his desk from his failed attempts. But deciding to give it another go he took out a clean sheet before he started writing.
~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Miss (L/n)
Dear (F/n)
Lady (Y/n)
To Whom It May Concern,
I hope this letter reaches you
~~~~~~~~~~
He crumpled up the paper before throwing it with the rest of failures. "Why is this so damn difficult!" A knock could be heard from the door causing the man to take a swing of his rum before he went to answer it. "What!?" Looking down he seen it was one of the members of his legal team.
"The plea agreement Sir" Doffy took it from the man before he read it over. "Eight months of house arrest? Not to bad, I expected a year, or at least a jail sentence. Good work... Jerry" He'd settle for this no problem.
"It's Kyle, Sir" Doffy had gotten the man's name wrong but he didn't really care. "I'll take this deal, make the arrangements" Closing the door before 'Jerry' could say anything else Doffy went back to attempting the letter, he'd only send it after (Y/n) was settled so he'd have a few weeks.

While (Y/n) was watching tv Smoker came into the room still wearing his Christmas pajamas, Ace had gotten them matching couple pajamas to wear for the holiday. "Couldn't sleep (Y/n)?" The girl waved as a greeting to Smoker before responding "No I woke up early, I'm too existed to see Dad, Seth and Steven to sleep!"
Smoker nodded his head at (Y/n)'s answer. "What would you like for breakfast (Y/n)?" The girl just shrugged her shoulders, she wasn't to picky and Smoker would make something tasty regardless. "Surprise me"
Smoker left to go prepare breakfast while (Y/n) continued watching cartoons but something on the coffee table caught her eye. "What's that?" Sure, they were Smoker's private work papers but she was to curious to leave the papers alone, the name on the folder was just to unique to be from her home town.
"Donquixote Doflamingo. Wait a minute... that man said I could call him... Doffy" Once she opened the folder right there on the first page was a mugshot of the man who nearly killed her a few nights ago. Based on the picture (Y/n) confirmed that this folder had to be all the information Smoker had gathered about him.
"Why is he smiling in his mugshot?" That weirded (Y/n) out since she hadn't seen many mugshots where the person was smiling, your supposed to be in tears or at least have a blank look on your face. It seemed the arresting officer didn't even follow protocol since this 'Doffy' was still wearing his sunglasses in the picture.
She hoped this folder would had at least some answers to who this man was so (Y/n) continued to go through each document in the folder, making small notes to herself about information that would be worth remembering. Occasional she'd look in the direction of the kitchen to make sure Smoker wasn't going to enter the room and caught her in the act. "Who the hell is this guy?"
(Y/n) learned a few things about the man but something stood out and was a little shocking to her. It was his arrest sheet, apparently, he'd be arrested multiple times that didn't really surprise (Y/n). What was odd though was most charges were dropped or he only had to serve a few months in prison.
Picking up the next document she read it aloud in a whisper so Smoker couldn't hear her. "Man kills his brother in self-defence" (Y/n) stared at the brother's picture and the smile he had on his face; his eyes held such kindness in them. Sure, just because the man looked nice didn't mean he was but it was enough for (Y/n) to have doubts that this was done in self-defence.
Reading farther down the article (Y/n) skimmed across a sentence that made her freeze before she re-read it again just to be sure it was correct. "He leaves behind his adopted son. The teenaged Trafalgar. L has yet to be located and is presumed missing" That couldn't be possible (Y/n)'s mind was trying to process the information but that name, it had to be Law.
"He must know Doflamingo if he's the adopted son in this article" (Y/n) didn't know how much time she had left until Smoker would be finished with breakfast so she quickly put the papers back into the folder. Though she didn't read all the documents in the folder she had learned enough to know his man knew how to get things done and keep his hands cleans.
Just as she went back to focusing on the tv Smoker walked back into the room. "Breakfast is ready (Y/n). Go wash your hands then go enjoy your meal. I just need to wake up Ace" She nodded for heading off to the bathroom to wash her hands. As she was turning on the tap when a thought crossed her mind.
"I need to ask Law about this. He might have the answers I need" Picking up the bar of soap (Y/n) held it under the water then began to lather up her hands before placing it back in the soap dish. She knew the man would be going to Luffy's families house today but she needed to caught him before he did. Rinsing the soap an idea made its way into her head as she turned off the taps and dried her hands off.
She could pretend to be sick and hopefully that would lead the doctor to stopping by to check on her. "You're as smart as you are beautiful (Y/n)" Exiting the bathroom you heard a loud thump above you. "Smokey must have rolled Ace off the bed"
(Y/n) sat down in front of her plate before she started eating. Once the two men returned her plan would be set into motion. "Did you really had to push me off the bed Smoke?"
"If I didn't you would have slept all day Ace. I know how you are" Ace didn't fight back as he sat in front of his plate. "Morning (Y/n)" Since the two men were now present (Y/n)'s plan could start. "Mornin-" 'Cough' 'Cough' 'Cough' Smoker ran to pour a glass of water before handing it to her. "Here (Y/n) drink this"
"Thanks. My throats really sore" Ace was the one who spoke up and he held a goofy grin as he did. "Don't worry (Y/n). It's a good thing my brothers dating the best doctor in town. I'll see if he can stop by" 'Cough' 'Cough' Before you knew it Ace was running to the phone but soon returned after a few minutes.
"Good news (Y/n)! The doctor will see you but we'll have to go to his place"
"O- 'Cough' Okay"
After finishing breakfast, everyone went upstairs to get ready, Smoker had taken a bag of clothes from the house so (Y/n) was packing that up since they'd just take her house after finishing at Law's. Since (Y/n) was faking she still had to let out a cough or sniff loudly so they'd think she had a runny nose.
"Are you ready (Y/n)?" Zipping up the bag (Y/n) swung it over her shoulder before exiting the guest bedroom, shooting Smoker a thumbs up as she closed the door behind her. They made their way to the car as Smoker and Ace put their bags into the trunk while (Y/n) kept hers beside her.
After they closed the trunk (Y/n) heard them fighting over who got to drive, Smoker won in the end. Smoker slid into the driver's seat while Ace slid into the passenger's seat with a cute little pout on his face. Soon the car started moving and they begin their way to the doctor's house.
