Chapter 53: Rewire
"Jane, wake up!" Olaf insisted. Jane gave a yawn and sat up
"What is it?" she slurred
"I've found Hans."
"What?" Jane rushed over to the computer and looked on the screen. "Olaf, have I ever told you that you are amazing?"
"502 times, actually." Jane chucked and made a mental note to fix that bug.
"What about Anna?"
"She's safe, I've been keeping Hans off her trail just like you asked."
"Thanks." Jane put on her usual outfit, picked up a bag and started to walk towards the door "Keep his location on my phone."
"Already on it."
"Thanks, Olaf!" Jane left her hideout and she knew that Hans was aware of her pursuit, but this time she was ready for him. "Anna, just hang in there."
Anna was an emotional wreck. She knew that what happened between them was mostly her fault. She had pushed Jane too far and she knew it now. At the time each little nudge seemed like nothing but she forgot that little amounts tend to add up rather quickly. While a building can be repaired easily a person tends to take a bit more work and a relationship needs even more than that. Anna knew that all too well since it was part of her job but she never expected to have to do it outside of work. She needed to talk to someone but nobody was there.
"Where are you, Jane?" As if on cue Anna's phone rang.
"Miss Arendelle?" A male voice asked
"Who is this?"
"Agent Patterson, FBI." Anna gulped
"Speaking…"
"We were wondering if you had any information about that recent building collapse at WGT."
"No. I blacked out after the first explosion."
"Alright, Thanks." The man hung up. Anna took the battery out of her phone and flushed the SIM down the nearest toilet. It was a standard precaution she took whenever one of the government agencies got her number. It was a shame she would have to throw the phone away after wiping it, she was starting to like this one.
Jane's phone rang.
"What is it Olaf?"
"Anna's had to get a new phone."
"Why?"
"The FBI called her about the WGT incident."
"Look, I am in an airport terminal so I can't talk about it right now."
"Fair enough. I'm keeping Hans' location up to date as best as I can."
"Thanks." Jane hung up the phone as a call went out over the PA saying that Jane's flight was now boarding. It would not be much longer before Jane could feel free again. Or was it Elsa? She still hadn't decided yet but now she was one step closer to being able to make up her own mind.
Anna was thankful for the excuse to go outside the house, staying inside crying all day was not doing her any good. Eventually she settled on one she had been looking at for a while anyway and made sure that everything was in order. She had the service set up under another false identity and told herself that this would be the last one she used, she was done with all of the deception. Jane had taught her the hard way that even fake people have a very real impact.
She decided to head back to her warehouse and make sure that things were still alright there. Anna had always treasured the paintings more than most people would. Thankfully everything was exactly as she left it. Anna breathed a sigh of relief and picked up her new phone. She dialled Kristoff's number from memory.
Kristoff was relaxing at a bar somewhere in the Caribbean when his phone rang
"Hello?"
"Kristoff, it's A."
"After so many months away that's all you have to say for yourself?"
"I'm sorry Kristoff, things got complicated."
"How complicated?"
"I am still trying to figure that out."
"Well, whatever. Are you calling about work?"
"I just wanted to talk, actually."
"Alright, well I have some time."
"I was thinking of going legit."
"What?"
"Like start a proper business, get a legal life going."
"What exactly happened while you were not keeping in touch with me?"
"Well, this is going to take quite a long time to explain."
"I've got quite a long time."
"Okay, here goes…"
"And that's about everything."
Kristoff rubbed his fingers on his temples, A had been talking non-stop for at least an hour and there was a lot to take in
"So… this Jane woman is your girlfriend?"
"Well, it's a bit complicated. You see, just a few days ago…"
"So is that everything this time?
"I think so."
"So, you haven't heard from Jane since that rooftop incident?"
"Not a thing."
"Well, I would give it a few more days. These things take time to get over. Do you know what happened to Hans?"
"I have not heard anything about him either."
"Alright. So why do you want to discuss this with me?"
"Because I was wondering if you could keep an eye out for…" Anna sighed "My sister."
"You did all of that with you SISTER?!"
"I didn't know at the time!"
"Well, whatever. You've been talking my ear off for almost two hours now and I need to take all of this in. I'll call you back later." Kristoff hang up the phone and sighed.
"Why must women be so complicated?" he asked to the barman
"I have no idea. You want another round?"
"Please."
Jane arrived at the nearest airport to Hans' current location. She left the airport and made her way to where Hans is supposed to be. Jane was stunned with when her phone guided her to a prison. She dialled a number and Olaf answered
"Why is it a prison?" Jane asked
"Hans was under investigation by the FBI for many years before everything that happened between you and Anna. Once the WGT building went down they were finally able to get him."
"Would he still be expecting me?"
"No doubt."
"But what do I do about the guards?"
"Jane, when have you ever worried about the guards?"
"True."
