Niko smirked. The view was quite nice. 

Niko sat there thinking of the night before. Not a single member of the entire Mafia had bothered to come looking for him... which he was fine with. It meant the losers could actually do their job for once.

Niko glanced down again at Mick who was stirring slightly, yet still trying to curl up against his side. Niko chuckled and hoisted Mick up into his lap

"You look like an exhausted toddler who got no sleep."

"wha-" Mick muttered as he rubbed his eyes 

"And your shorts are falling down by the way."

"and im sure the view is nice-" Mick muttered 

Niko snorted as he watched Mick try (and fail) to fix his shorts. The man just ended up slumping against him

"Your clingy when your tired" 

"So? Do you not enjoy me being on you"

"Im just saying you remind me of a child right now"

"I am not a child"

"I never said you were, I said you reminded me of one"

"Well im still... sleepy..."

"Well you did also try to make out with me all night"

"Not my fault you have very kissable lips"

Niko snorted again. He watched Mick rub his eyes once more before he felt the mans face in his neck 

"sleepy"

"yea?"

"mhm" 
"I can just leave you here and let you sleep" 

Niko glanced at Mick when he didn't say anything. The man had passed out once more. Niko sighed and shifted so he could stand up. He stretched before heading out the door only to immdiatly be met with one of his men 

"Jesus-"

"Sorry Sir. We didn't know where you were last night" 
"Got stuck in that room." Niko crossed his arms "I trust everything ran smoothly?"

"Of course Sir." The man nodded "We have discovered something that does require your attention" 
"And what would that be?"
"You remember that lady you killed?"

Niko stiffened. Her. He would rather the name not be mentioned. But of course he remembered. She was Mick's pathetic ex afterall.

"Yes. What about her?" 

"Well you remember how she said she was "just looking for a man" or something along those lines?"

"Obviously." 

"Well we've discovered something. She may have been... spying on us."

"Spying-" Niko crossed his arms "From where?"

"Thats just it- we don't know." The man shrugged "We have the reports in the meeting room if you would like to look at footage."

"Good." Niko muttered "We have someone who knew her so maybe he can help."

"Shall I go fetch the new recruit?"

"No. I'll take care of it. Get back to work."
"Right away Sir." 

Niko sighed. He walked back into the room and shut the door. 

"Mick we need you. Wake up."

He sighed as he heard Mick groan in annoyance. Niko walked over and leaned down. 

"Dont make me drag you out of this bed."

"lemme sleep."
"Its not my fault you wanted to make out for most of the night. Now get up." 

"Make me..." Mick mumbled 

Niko raised an eyebrow. 

He proceeded to drag the man off the bed. 

"HEY- LET ME GO-"

"I told you this would happen." 

Mick glared at Niko as he tugged on his shirt. 

"The fuck do you need me for?" 
"The- idiotic woman- I killed- may have been a spy."
"A spy?"

"Yes. Since you knew her better than we did- we need you to look at footage"

"Oh-"

Niko opened the door and Mick followed. The two walked in silence until they reached the meeting room. 

"We have the footage pulled up Sir."

"Good." 

Niko walked over and clicked play. Mick glanced over his shoulder. That was definintly Angelica. Niko continued to watch as she walked into what looked to be an abandoned building. A few moments later she exited the building a paper in hand before slipping down the alleyway. 

"Did you happen to find a paper on her?" Niko asked as the video ended 

"We did." one of the men pulled it out of his pocket "Here." 

Niko took the paper and glanced at it.

"The fuck does that even say-" Mick muttered

"Dont know." One of the men said "We've been trying to figure it out." 

Niko stared at the paper. He then realized something. 

Certain letters were lowercase. 

Niko grabbed a sheet of paper and began to write. 

Meet at the club over by the alley. 

"Wow- damn-" Mick muttered "How did you-"
"Certain letters are lowercase. Just look at those." 

Everyone nodded in agreement, finally realizing that was the pattern. Niko sighed 

"So- were going to go to this club. Is there one in that alleyway?"
"There is." One of the men turned the computer again "See? Mostly shady people go their, you know your drug dealers- people like that." 

"I see. Well... were going to go." Niko muttered 

"Wouldn't this meeting already have passed sir?"

"Seeing as no one came looking for her.... it either hasn't already or she was not important." Niko crossed his arms 

"I see."

"We'll go tonight. Andrew I want a team of men ready by ten pm."
"Of course sir." Andrew nodded 

Niko then left the room. A spy? For who? A random company- or some underground people who were unhappy with the rules... either way he was pissed. 

"You ok?" 

Niko glanced at Mick. 

"I need to know who sent her."

"Do you have any enemies?"

Ha. Of course he did. 

"Obviously. I run this place. I'm not going to be everybodys favoirte guy."
"You're my favoirte."

Niko stared at Mick. This man- thought that now was a good time to be sappy? 

"You-"
"To much?" Mick shrugged as he walked "I know our relationship is unlabled and all but I figured I could still-"

"I was just a bit surprised that you picked now of all times to be sappy."

"Im not being sappy!"

"You are."

"No I'm not- I was merley stating that you are my favorite."
"Which is being sappy- at least in my opinion."
"Well your opinion is wrong."

Niko just scoffed. He continued towards the elavator to his home. 

"So... going to a club. Could be fun."

"This club will be full of shady people. Drug dealers- probably some- sort of-"

"People doing it."

"Probably."
"Well good thing I was a drug dealer. I know how these people think."

"Exactly why I'm bringing you."

"Great." Mick then paused as the two entered Niko's home "You are going to have to be a bit less serious though" 
"What?"
"I mean your stiff. You're acting like a big boss man- which I guess you are- but this is a club."

"I've been to a club before I know how to act."

"Well you better."

Niko rolled his eyes. 

"Just be ready to go by ten pm. I want this situation dealt with." Niko leaned against the kitchen counter 
"Alright..." Mick muttered 

Mick paused a moment before he leaned next to Niko. Niko stood there a moment before he muttered 

"Fine."

Niko half chuckled half grumbled in annoyance when Mick leaned on him and practically clung to him. 

"M- still sleepy."

"And whose fault is that?"

"Yours for dragging me out of bed for no reason."

"Well how was I supposed to know we didnt need you for that meeting?"

"Hmph- fair point." 

Niko just chuckled in response. While he stood there he couldn't help but wonder 

Who the hell would send spys after him? 

And why this specific club... 

AH- sorry for the late upload everyone. Life got super fucking complicated and I completly forgot to upload this episode that I had already written.
