Tokiko was chilling out at home. Since she had taken her exams, there was no need for her to go to class. Her father, an English Teacher, was home as well. Her father was making some lunch and Tokiko kept glancing out the window. 

"The mailman isn't going to come any faster, sweetie." He said, sighing. 

"I know, but I just want to get a letter...THE letter." Tokiko said, slouching in her chair. Her father ruffled her hair.

"I know they're going to let you in. It'll be fine." He said. He hummed a little, dreads swaying as he put together a salad. 

"I agree," Nozomi said, putting on her trademark trenchcoat. "You've honed your skills as much as you can. I'm sure you made it in."

"Hey, did you cash that check? We need for the- um...important thing." Tokiko's father, Will said. Nozomi shot a glare at him. 

[i]You know you can't talk about surprises around her! Geez...[/i]

"What's the important thing?" Tokiko asked. 
 
"It's...car insurance. Your father forgot to pay the car insurance." Nozomi said. 

"Yeah! Car insurance!" Will said, a little too enthusiastically. Tokiko raised an eyebrow at her father, who was laughing awkwardly. Nozomi smacked her forehead. 

[i]Damnit, Will...[/i]

"Anyway, I'm going to the bank to pay for the...car insurance," Nozomi said moving towards the door. 

"I wanna go too! There's a new sports store over by there, right? I need some new weights." Tokiko said, running after her. 

"Fine, fine," Nozomi said. "Just hurry. I have a shift at the station after this, and I want to do this and make sure to have some of your father's lasagna before I go." 

Tokiko nodded, and the two hopped into her mother's car to OraOra bank. When they pulled up into the parking lot, it looked busy, as usual. Nearby there was the store Willie's Sporting Stuff.

"Meet me by the car in 30 minutes, alright?" Nozomi said, getting out of the car. Tokiko nodded, and got out, running towards her favorite store.

[i]I wonder if they have any new weights? Those 20-pound ones aren't cutting it anymore...I wonder how much a new one would cost...[/i]

Tokiko wandered throughout the store, admiring the workout and sports equipment. 

[i]It's almost time to meet up. Let me get my things and go...[/i]

Tokiko paid for a 30-pound kettlebell and carried it out. As she went towards her mother's car she heard a voice over a megaphone. 

[b]This is the Mustafu police department. Please come out with your hands up. I repeat, please come out with your hands up. You...and the Vigilante.[/b]

[i]What's going on? There's police around the bank...No, no, no, no.[/i]

Tokiko took off her eyepatch. 

[i]S-surely she's back at the car, r-r-right?[/i]

Her left eye saw that her mother's car was empty. Her eyes widened, and she dropped the weight.

[i]She's inside.[/i]
