Summary: Elsa is going to the Mall with Anna, Belle and Aurora. Will this be the chance that Elsa needs to take the target?
Elsa walked into the house and moved quickly towards her secure room. Elsa quickly changed cloths into a long sleeve shirt and jeans. Elsa then hid different weapons all over her body as this might be a prime time to grab the target. Elsa then moved around the rest of the house moving things around and ruffling both beds to make the house look more lived in. Elsa only worked for a little bit when the doorbell rang and Elsa looked at the security tablet. Elsa could see that Anna was standing at the door with two guards behind her.
Elsa was disappointed to see the guards, but was still hopeful that some opportunity would arise. Elsa hit the talk button "I'll be there in one second." Elsa then grabbed her purse and ran towards the door. Elsa hid the security tablet and laid some chips on the floor near the door. If someone were to open the door Elsa would know it.
Elsa opened the door and Anna smiled a huge smile at Elsa. Elsa couldn't help smiling back. If her father would have seen her he would have been very disappointed in Elsa. Elsa didn't care at this moment because if smiling brought her an opportunity to get the target it would be worth it. "We are going to meet Belle and Aurora at the mall. I hope you got your dads credit card, because I got mine," Anna smiled, as she turned towards the car. Elsa moved in behind and one of Anna's guards walked behind Elsa. The front guard opened the door for Anna as she got in the car and Elsa followed suit with the second guard sitting in the back with them. Elsa was happy that the car had a second seat that faced backward so they didn't have to cram together on one seat.
"So about those Japanese lessons when would you like to start?" Anna asked Elsa as she looked over at Elsa.
"Whenever you want. I just moved to town so I only really know you, Aurora and Belle. My social life is open," Elsa replied, as an opportunity to scout Anna's house would be helpful.
"My parents have this dinner thing tomorrow night. It should be done around six, do you want to come over for a few hours around then?" Anna asked, as her excitement to learn Japanese was transparent. Elsa nodded her head. Elsa was more than willing to oblige that desire, especially if Elsa could use it to her own advantage. Elsa was going to use this opportunity to scout the mall since it could be used to take the target.
"There is a store in the mall that I love to go to and I think you will like it because it is filled with things from Japan," Anna said, as the car pulled up to the mall. The guard moved out of the car first and did a quick scan of the area. Elsa tried to get out, but the guards hand was in the way and Anna just shook her head. After a few minutes the guard waved them out. Elsa moved out first and gave the area a quick look and the first thing Elsa noticed was that about half of the mall crowd had security guards. Elsa knew that if this place was like this in the middle of the week then the weekend would be worse.
This job was turning out to be a nightmare. The target was surrounded by security or large crowds and that would make taking the target nearly impossible. Elsa followed Anna into the mall through a large entrance and Elsa spotted three cameras.
"We will meet Aurora and Belle at the food court then we will move on from there. Is there any place you would like to visit?" Anna speaking brought Elsa out of work mode and into the now.
"I have no idea what half these stores are or even sell, so I'll just mainly tag along with you guys," Elsa spoke the truth as Elsa had no idea what half of these stores were.
"I'll make sure you know everything that you need to know about these stores by the end of today!" Anna exclaimed with excitement. Anna then grabbed Elsa's arm and dragged her through the mall. Elsa tried to give as genuine smile as she could manage. Elsa allowed herself to be dragged all over the mall as the group moved from one store to the next. They all tried on clothing in different stores as it seemed that Anna preferred one store, Aurora preferred a different store and Belle liked another. To Elsa it all seemed the same in different stores. Elsa smiled and acted as excited as she could every time the girls seemed excited about things, but what Elsa was really doing was looking at cameras, guards and anything security related.
They eventually stopped to eat at the food court and Elsa was able to pull out her note book. Elsa didn't eat with the girls, but instead made notes about the security of the mall and little facts she heard from the girls. "What is your song going to be about?" Aurora asked.
Elsa looked up at Aurora and saw that she was looking at Elsa's notes. "I don't know. I write the music first then I try and find words that will fit the song," Elsa explained what she really did when she was really writing music. Of course the notes that Elsa was writing were her own code and might be a song one day. Elsa always turned her notes into a song about the job that she completed.
"That makes sense. I have heard that some song writers do that and others go the other way. Maybe could you play a piece of it for us some time," Aurora said, with a smile.
"Maybe you could write a part for each of us," Belle chimed in.
Elsa didn't realize that Belle or Anna could sing, but instead of saying that Elsa just nodded and said "I can definitely try."
"Once we finished dinner I want to go to the Eastern Province Store," Anna spoke suddenly. "I think you would like the place Elsa. The guy that works there knows Japanese and is fun to talk to."
"That is where we will split up," Belle said, with a smile "Anna could and has spent hours in that store. So Aurora and I will go look at the new music and then the book store if you want to come with us Elsa."
"No I would like to see this store. If they truly get things from Japan I would love to get a few things," Elsa said, as she started putting her things away. The girls finished their food quickly and Anna led Elsa towards the store.
"You are going to love this place. I'm sure you can find all the comforts of home there. The store keeper was born in Japan and is always trying to get me to go to dinner so he can teach me Japanese," Anna talked the whole way to the store and as soon as they stepped in the store Elsa knew that this place was a fraud. From the chemical smell of the fake incense to the artificial statues that Elsa could see on the glass shelves. Anna ran straight towards the counter and hugged the man behind it. Elsa started looking through the inventory of tea pots. Elsa has been craving the tea her mother use to make for years. It had been four years since Elsa ran out of the tea that her mother left after her death. Unfortunately all the pots were cheap glass knock offs of tradition Japanese pottery.
"Why don't you come over and we can get those lessons started," a voice rang out that was not Anna's. Elsa looked over at the counter and saw that Anna had a large selection of anime books laid out in front of her. Elsa moved over to the counter after giving up on the tea pots and to look at the tea selection.
"Actually Elsa here knows Japanese and she is willing to teach me after school," Anna explained, and the man behind the counter had a very sad look on his face. Elsa now knew why he kept asking Anna out to dinner, not to teach her Japanese, but because he liked Anna.
Elsa then saw that in the back of the tea section was a small box that was a faded red color that looked just like the tea box that Elsa's mother kept next to the stove. "That box can I see it," Elsa suddenly speaking, must have frightened them because they both gasped.
"That box of tea has been in the store since my father ran it," the man said, as he walked over towards Elsa. He brought out the small box and handed it to Elsa. Elsa turned the box over and it defently was several years old with ruff dented corners and faded color, but Elsa instantly knew that it was in fact the tea that her mother used to make. Seeing the box made Elsa's chest ache as she missed her mother fiercely. Elsa looked up and saw that both the man and Anna were staring at her. That was when Elsa felt the cool feeling of wetness on her face.
Elsa quickly wiped the tears from her face. "How many boxes do you have and do you have an actual authentic tea pot?" Elsa asked, trying to change the subject.
"Yea the tea pots are –" the man started, but Elsa held up her hand interrupting him.
In Japanese "You and I both know that those pots are not authentic," Elsa said, giving him a look. The man's eyes bulged at Elsa as soon as she finished the sentence. Elsa then realized that this man didn't speak Japanese in the slightest. In Japanese "You don't speak Japanese do you?" Elsa asked, and the man just looked towards Anna. "I'm sorry Anna, but your friend here doesn't speak Japanese at all. Do you have any tea pots from when your father ran the store?" Elsa asked, as she looked back at the man.
"Yea just a second," that man walked into the back room and Elsa walked over next to Anna.
"I'm sorry to break that to you so meanly," Elsa said, kind of feeling bad.
"I can't believe he has been lying to me for years," Anna said, looking down at the books she had in front of her.
"Don't let his lies spoil your enjoyment of these books. Just realize that you don't really know someone until you meet them in a life or death situation," Elsa spoke the words that her father had told her years ago as a small girl. The man set three more red boxes in front of Elsa and a small box with a tea pot that looked familiar. Elsa couldn't hold back as she smiled a huge smile at seeing the tea pot and the boxes of tea. "This tea is just like the stuff my mother use to make me. I love this tea. I'll take the tea pot, all three boxes of tea and I'll pay for whatever Anna wants," Elsa said, with a smile towards Anna.
"I don't think you should by this stuff for me –" Anna started, but Elsa held up a hand and nodded towards the man. The man rang up the total and Elsa paid cash for everything. Anna took Elsa's arm as they walked out of the store. "Thank you for the gifts," Anna said, quietly.
Elsa didn't really know why she decided to pay for Anna's manga, but the smile that Anna was wearing made Elsa smile too and Elsa couldn't stop looking at Anna. Anna kept looking at Elsa too and they started to laugh at each other.
I'm always looking to improve my writing abilities. If you find some bad grammar or sentence structure you could always message me. Just let me know what I did wrong and how to fix it would be wonderful, so I can learn and get better.
