A Christmas story part 6: Shopping comes to an end!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

B.A. and Jason run into the mall.

B.A.: They are probably eating, so let's check the food court first.

Jason: Good idea.

They did so and saw Hannibal and George just as they were getting up to leave.

Jason: George!! George!!! (George spots Jason.)

George and Hannibal walk up to Jason and B.A.

George: Jason, what's the matter?

Jason: Decker found out that we were here somehow.

Hannibal: Great. We gotta find Face and Mandy.

B.A.: And don't forget the two crazy fools.

Just then you hear some girl screaming.

Girl screaming: Billy you bad dog!! Get back over here!

Then a guy: Billy you listen to Athena.

Athena: Hi Jason!! HANNIBAL!!!! (She said as she ran past them, without stopping.)

Hannibal: I will never understand that girl.

Murdock: B.A.. George! (He said without stopping too.)

George: Let's go. We can't lose them. (Runs after them.)

So 6 of the A-Team members are now running after an invisible dog through a very large mall.

After about 5 minutes Athena finally catches Billy.

Athena: Bad dog!

B.A: That dog gets us in big trouble all the time.

Hannibal: Just drop it B.A. We have bigger problems. (Looks at Athena and Murdock) Do you know where Face and Mandy are?

Athena: T.G.I. Fridays

George: It's already 1:15 they won't be there anymore.

Murdock: Sure they will. Face takes a long time to eat, especially when shopping is involved.

Jason: Let's go.

About 15 minutes later they arrived outside of T.G.I Friday's.

Inside...

Face: You ready to go Mandy?

Mandy: Ye...

A muffled noise: Face.

Another: Facey!

Face: Oh no not again.

They look over and all six are right outside the window.

Hannibal: Decker. Here. Move it!

Face: Let's go. (He throws down some money and they ran out of there.)

Mandy to Hannibal: Where is he?

Hannibal: Don't know.

B.A.: We got in a car chase with two of his goons.

Jason: I shot the tire and they flipped over.

Mandy: Did anyone get hurt.

B.A: Nope.

Hannibal: They never do. That's funny I just realized that.

George: Don't you think we should get moving?

Murdock: Yeah, let's move!

They ran into the nearest store, "Barrington's"

They started to walk around the store.

Athena: This is one really big store.

Mandy: Don't get lost and I mean it this time.

Athena: I won't!

Mandy spotted Tanya looking at some more fashionable scarves.

Mandy: Tanya!

Tanya: Mandy! You guys better get out of here; I just saw Decker and three of his MP's.

George: Help us get out of here.

Tanya agrees and starts to lead them out.

Very soon Mandy bumps into someone.

Mandy: Excuse me.

Girl: That's Ok(ay).

Mandy: Lindsey!

Lindsey: FACEY!! (The two friends hug.)

Athena runs back.

Athena: MURDOCK!!

Lindsey: MURDOCK! (They hug too.)

George realizes that the two girls aren't with them, so he tells the others to keep going and that he was going to look for the girls.

George: Hey! Lindsey!

Lindsey: Hannibal!!! HI!!!! (They hug also.)

Mandy: What are you doing here?

Lindsey: Well, I thought that it would be nice to come here and spend Christmas with my friends.

Athena: Cool!!!

George: I'd hate to say this, but Decker is on his way.

The three girls: WHAT?!! (They turn around and see him.)

Lindsey I have an idea. Follow me.

They followed her to the camp gear section.

Athena: What are we doing here?

Lindsey: Shush and get into the tent. The both of you. (Mandy and Athena enter the tent and zip it up.)

George: What about me?

Lindsey grabbed a ski mask that would cover his whole face and placed it on his head just as Decker reached them.

Lindsey: Steve, does that feel snug enough?

George in a low voice: Yeah.

Decker's men started to look around quickly.

Decker: Excuse me, sir ma'am; have you've seen a group of about eight people there are four older adults and four young adults?

Lindsey: Nope. I've been here for about 15 minutes and I haven't seen anyone around here.

Decker: Thank you.

A MP was just about to go into the tent when Decker said: Let's go!

They all left the area.

Lindsey: (Letting out a breath that she has been apparently been holding.) That was a close one.

George removed the mask: Okay guys, you can come out of the tent now.

Mandy got out: She's sleeping. She fell asleep.

Lindsey got down on her legs and started to shake Athena. It wasn't getting her anywhere, so Mandy got down there too and started to tickle her. That got her up.

Mandy: Let's move it Captain!

Athena: How rude!


Meanwhile...

The others exit the store.

Jason: They probably got captured.

Murdock: That's positive thinking for ya.

They waited for a little while when...

Face: Guys, I see Decker. He's going to exit the store any minute.

Hannibal and Jason went to the pay phones, Face and Murdock ran into the bathrooms, which were located right next to the store, and Tanya sat down on the bench. They didn't even have to worry. Decker didn't even stop to look.

A few minutes later...

George, Mandy, Athena, and Lindsey exit the store.

Athena: Looky who we found!

B.A.: Great now we got three crazy people.
