Hans opened the door to several offices barging in hurriedly. He sidestepped out of the way just in time. He watched as three policemen started to search the house, and the forth waddled up and stood in front of him, rocking backwards and forwards on his heels.
"Good day. Hans Westerguard I take it?" He said, flipping is note pad open, then straightening out his hat.
"Yes officer."
"What seemed to be the problem here?"
"I've been robbed!" Hans said a little too loudly. He took a moment to calm himself down. "Look I know who did it, I had evidence on someone and they've broken in and stolen it."
"Okay. And who is this someone?"
"Elsa Arendelle, Sir."
The officer swiftly scribbled down notes as he continued questioning. "How do you know her?"
"She's my student."
The officer raised an eyebrow. "How old is she?"
"Twenty... Twenty something. I don't know. She's in university class, Drama Department."
"And what exactly was this evidence?"
"It was CCTV footage, sir."
"Of what?"
Hans let out a breath; he couldn't come clean, not yet. Not without that damn CD. "I can't say."
The policeman's pen stopped in its tracks. "Excuse me?"
"I'm afraid it would be a lot easier if you just watched the footage yourself."
"How can I watch the footage when you don't have it?"
Hans clenched his fists. "Well isn't that your job? To get my belongings back from a thief? Do your job then you can watch it."
"My job is to asse-"
"Sir." One of the other offices interrupted. "No signs of forced entry." Before disappearing back into the kitchen.
The officer took a few long moments to scribble on his pad, then clicked his pen. "My job is to assess what has happened and report my findings to my Chief. And so far we have missing CCTV footage of a student girl belonging to her teacher, who claims to have been robbed, but has no signs of break in. And obviously the footage is being held ageist the girls' will; if you claim she would steal it."
Hans' eyes bulged. "I-It's not- I'm not- You're misunderstanding."
"Well please... Do explain." The officer said, clicking his pen and readying it to begin taking notes again.
"She killed her own parents. The CCTV footage proves it."
"How? Give me details, something to work with. If we get this evidence back how can we know it's the right one?"
Hans took a deep breath. "It's footage of school. Elsa runs out of the room with her eyes." His voice cracked. "Her eyes are glowing."
"Glowing?"
"A bright, bright blue. Like magic." He said, waving his arms for emphasis.
The officer chuckled. "Magic?"
Hans lowered his arms and balled them into fists again. "Don't you laugh I know what I saw. Ice was all over the room!" His phone began to ring; he took it out and shot an apology to the officer. "Sorry it's work I'll be a minute."
The officer watched Hans half turn to stare out of the window. He looked down to the note pad. This was looking like it was going to be the strangest case he'd ever worked on. Or was Hans just deluded? On drugs? He scanned his notes. 'Ice magic' He'd written and underlined. He couldn't help a chuckle escape from his throat.
"WHAT?!" Hans shouted down the phone brining the officer out of his thoughts. "You can't suspend me! The play!?" He fumed. The officer took half a step closer to try and hear the other side of the conversation.
"Mr Westerguard you have tampered with a senior member of staff's account and removed data onto a personal storage drive, we have the logs here."
"So?!"
"This is against policy and means you are suspended while we investigate."
Hans threw the phone across the room, it slammed against the wall and fell to the floor in pieces.
"Mr Westerguard?" The officer questioned. "This is highly inappropriate."
"Don't you fucking tell me what to do. I've seen some ice shit and everyone expects me to just be fine with it? And now it's cost me my job. My play." He looked to his shaking fists. "Elsa. I'll fucking kill her."
"Sir, calm down." The officer said.
"Fuck you." Hans said as he took a swing for the policeman's head. But he didn't flinch at all, and simply caught Hans' ill-aimed punch in his hand.
"You're under arrest."
Elsa, Kristoff and Anna walked back into Elsa's home. Where Olaf and Sven were still sat on the couch, Anna limped over and sat by the small boy.
"What happened Anna?" Olaf asked, looking to the girl's foot.
"Oh nothing. Just a little sore that's all."
"We got it." Elsa said holding up the CD. "It's here."
Olaf quickly snatched it and threw it to the floor. He jumped up and down on it for several minutes. "Ahh, that ought to do it."
"Just to make sure." Kistoff said coming out of the kitchen with a knife. He turned the disc over and scratched several deep lines into it.
"What now?" Elsa asked.
"Well Hans is currently being put into a police car, so there's that." Olaf said.
"Wait what?" Anna said, jumping up a little too quickly. The pain in her ankle reminding her to keep sudden movements to a minimum, for now at least.
Olaf turned his laptop around and showed the group Hans' live CCTV footage. He was currently being escorted down the pathway to the main road, hands cuffed behind his back.
"How's he being arrested? They should be after me, what's he done wrong?" Elsa asked.
"I might have accidentally told the head of university that he logged into a senior staff's account. Then I might have accidentally emailed him all the logs that prove it." Olaf said.
"Olaf you genius! You thought of all that yourself?" Kristoff asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"It's brilliant."
"But it still doesn't stop anyone with access looking at that footage and seeing the same thing Hans saw." Elsa pointed out.
"Were in a drama department Elsa, if anyone does look we'll just say we were in dress rehearsal." Kristoff said.
"It's our word against his." Sven added. "And who are they most likely to believe?"
"Hans did make the connection between my parent's deaths and me." Elsa said tapping her chin. "If Hans can do it; means anyone else can."
"Again, he kind of saw your magic first hand. As long as you don't scare anyone else shitless with it, I think you'll be fine."
"That wasn't her fault." Anna said.
"Never said it was; well it technically is, I don't think anyone else would leak ice when they're upset."
"One of the many reasons why Elsa is so unique." Anna said. "Love you Els."
Kristoff dry heaved. "Shit that was bad Anna, even or you."
"Shit it Kris." Elsa said. She strutted over to Anna and gave her a kiss. "I love you too."
"Kris?" Kristoff questioned. "I've not given you permission to give me a nickname." He folded his arms across his chest.
"I don't care." Elsa said looking into Anna's eyes.
"Okaaaay. Let's give these two some room." Sven said jumping up, feeling slightly awkward.
"Awww, can we watch? Please Elsa." Kristoff smiled. "I'll let you call me Kris if you say yes."
"How about fuck off?" Elsa said.
"Well that's just rude."
"C'mon." Olaf said as the boys huddled out of the room.
"Wait. Where are you all going?" Anna said snapping out of Elsa's gaze.
"Giving you two some time alone?" Sven said.
"Wait, we're not doing anything you tools." Anna said. "Jesus."
"Okay." Olaf came waddling back in and sat on the couch again.
"Didn't look like you were doing nothing." Sven said to the floor, still stood awkwardly in the doorway.
"Dammit. I was going to do the empty glass against the door thing. D-Does that actually work?" Kristoff said scratching the back of his neck.
"Jesus Kristoff, we need to find you a lady friend." Anna smirked.
"Well yeah that would help. I asked Elsa is she has sisters but she told me to fuck off." Kristoff said sitting down.
Elsa laughed. "Sounds harsh, I'm sure I didn't say it like that. I don't have sisters anyway, or brothers. So can't help you out. Sorry."
Kristoff lowered is eyebrows and shook his head side to side "What? You're always saying things like that!"
"You're just exaggerating." Elsa waved her hand dismissively.
"You said the line 'how about fuck off' literally less than five minutes ago."
Anna butted in. "I think it's the inner Ice Queen showing herself. Kind of sexy though, she doesn't take any shit."
"Hmm." Was all Kistoff could say.
"So what are we going to do this afternoon?" Olaf asked.
"We could head into drama for the afternoon." Sven said. "See what's what now that Hans is suspended. I guess the play is off?"
"Could be." Kristoff replied.
The group got up and made their way to the door. They all exited and Elsa began to lock up.
"Erm E-Elsa?" Anna stuttered.
"Hmmm?"
"You weren't expecting a visit from some police people were you?"
"What?" Elsa turned her head and saw a police car making its way up the long drive.
The small man in a black suit grabbed the lamp that was on the table and swivelled it around so it shone right into Elsa's eyes.
"What do you know about Hans Westerguard?" He squeaked, his voice was very high pitched for a man.
Elsa squinted, trying to get her vision to refocus with the new light. "He's my teacher for drama class."
"Are you aware of the accusations he is making about you?" he said moving the light around.
"No!" Elsa replied quickly.
"Well then." The man said dropping the light, and picking up a sheet of paper. "He claims that you have ice magic. Is that true?"
"No."
"I SAID IS THAT TRUE!" He screamed, lunging over the table and getting right into Elsa's face.
Elsa felt ice cracking at her fingertips, as she took in a sharp intake of breath. His face was only inches away. "N-No it's not true." Elsa said with a shaky breath.
"Gooood. Dismissed."
"Wait, what? I-I mean that's it?"
"Just a formality Miss Arendelle. I mean c'mon, ice magic?" He started to laugh.
Elsa tried to join in with her own awkward laughter, as the man undid the door and gestured for her to go though.
The guard outside the door led her back through to the reception area, all her friends had already been questioned and were sat waiting. When Anna noticed Elsa was walking over she shot up and ran towards her. Almost knocking Elsa over with a hug.
"Oh Elsa."
"Anna?" Elsa said as the air was squoze out of her lungs.
The officer coughed into his hand. Making both girls stop and stand straight. "Alright. Seems like all your stories line up to me. Everything seems to be in order... Hans also failed a breath test so, drink driving is another thing to add to the list."
"List?" Elsa questioned.
"Yep. Looks like he's not all there. Mumbling to himself and all sorts now." The officer said. "But anyway. You're all free to go. I believe your principle has been after you."
The group piled out of the police station. "How the fuck are we going to get to uni from here?" Kristoff asked.
"Walking. It's not exactly far from here." Anna replied.
"T-Thanks everyone." Elsa said after minutes of walking down the busy road, the pathway was wide but the sound of cars passing made a little too much noise. "F-For being on my side. It means a lot."
"Any friend of Anna's is a friend of mine too." Kristoff said.
"Aww. See Elsa I told you he's not that bad."
"Friends?" Elsa said blankly.
"Yeah?" Kristoff said. "U-Unless the Ice Queen can't have friends?" He smirked.
Elsa felt her heart swell, and for the first time in a long time, she didn't hesitate. "No, I'd like that actually. I'd like that a lot." She finished, looking between Anna, Kristoff, Sven and Olaf.
