"...so... you're going to get a copy of her receipt, then?" She hurries after the rushing man, holding onto her swords so they don't jostle around too much on her back.
Daring tilts her head, leaning close so she can see what the package itself looks like, as if it would give her a clue as to what is inside.

"Inspect the touched places! There's always a sign or some sort of evidence! Well, unless you're dealing with the perfect crime, which I doubt we are," William said, rushing back toward the armoury, throwing open the door with a banging sound, causing the poor owner to jump. "Not like Val's some sort of criminal mastermind or something, even if her good looks are only rivaled by her big brains... Uh, forget I said that." His face went red.
---
As Val bent over to inspect another shirt, the bag from the armoury tilted, creating a noise when the contents shifted. Whatever was in there, it sounded pretty heavy, especially judging by the bulge in the side.
"How quaint. Now, I wouldn't wear this on a job, but maybe to a Trip In Girl concert or off-duty..." She picked up a shirt, and made her way to a fitting room...
Weird, she seemed to be taking the most complicated route possible!

Sky wasn't buying what he was trying to push on her. "...do you have a crush on this girl?"
There's a small beep, and she opens up her scroll, eyeing the message carefully. "Any objections to using force to make the bag open up and spill its contents?"

"I do NOT like her! I just appreciate her good looks, her ability to kick my ass, and the way she manages to outsmart me at each and every turn!" The red face isn't helping your case there, William. "So, I definitely don't have a crush on her. Not. At. All." Trying to hide his increasingly red face, he began checking the gun racks...
---
Val had made her way to the fitting room, leaving out... the bag from the armoury?
From behind the curtain, you could hear the blonde talking. "Too short. Even for a Trip In Girl concert... Hmm, this one's not too bad..."

Frowning, Daring reaches over and pokes the bag. This almost seemed too easy. Her eyes light up and a grin spreads across her face as she spreads her wings and flaps them at the space under the changing room door, making every loose article of clothing fly out from high speed wind and out into the middle of the mall. She raises an eyebrow as she notices some underwear go out with it, and promptly hides in a round rack of clothing.
At that same moment, Sky steps behind the counter, tapping a few buttons and making a receipt come out. Since the employee is elsewhere, she easily pockets the ticket, and the few before that, just in case.

There was a yell from the other end of the changing room doors, and Val tore out of it, clad in only her shorts, her neck and shoulder guards, and her headband. Carrying the bag from the foodcourt over her shoulder and what was definitely not a cane in her other hand, the blonde woman screamed as she went after her departing articles of clothing, one arm over her chest.
"Oh, for fuck's sake! Who turned on the fan?! I swear, if I find out who did this...!!!"
---
"Oh! You found the ticket? Great, let's get outta here and see if your friend found anything else out!"
Almost immediately upon exiting, William found himself get smacked by a very familiar-looking armour corset. "Ow." Rubbing his aching face, he had only started to get up when he found...
"Give me that. Now, shit for brains." Val had her gun pointed at the young man's head, looking positively livid. Apparently, she had regained most of her clothing en route, missing just...
"Oh. Shiiiiiiiit..." Utterly dumbfounded, William was frozen to the spot. Val placed the muzzle of the gun right next to his skull.
"I said, give me my corset back. And stop staring. I will pump you full of magic bullets if you dawdle for even a second longer."
Motivated by the prospect of keeping his brains inside his head, William hastily dropped the corset, prompting Val to... Take the article of clothing, lower her gun, and... Walk away, bag still over her shoulder. Apparently, she was looking for somewhere where she could put the corset back on in peace.
"... Y'know." William's voice was staggered from catching his breath. "Val's kinda hot when she's angry... Uh, and by that, I mean utterly terrifying. I wonder if your friend's okay."

"She should be." She pats him on the shoulder, shaking her head. "Also, you aren't fooling anyone but yourself." She takes him by the hand and tugs him along. "Come on, I'll see if that was just a fluke... make use imperceptible to everyone here, if I have to..."
Daring peeks out of the store with the bag strapped securely to her back, silently praying that the girl never found out just what she did.

"Ow, ow! Sheesh, not even my kid sister pulls this hard! And she at least pretends to go along with it!" Still, he allowed himself to be dragged.
Arriving at where Daring was, William rubbed his ears. "I'm gonna feel that and or look like Perce in the morning. Let's see what she got, then!" Talk about a change in attitude as the blonde tore open the bag, revealing...
Several containers from the food court. Not a single weapon in sight. "Um. Either Val's plot involved food, or we've been duped. Either way we're dealing with a criminal mastermind." William scratched his temples.
---
Away from the trio, Val had managed to summon a taxi, and pointed her gun at the driver's head, whispering threateningly.
"Take me to the most discreet place you can, as fast as you can. Otherwise, you're getting your brains blown out."
A tire screeching sound could be heard as the poor driver sped off.

Sky sighs and shrugs, shaking her head in disappointment. "I guess we can't win all of them."
Daring pokes William's shoulder and offers him a small screen. "I... may have put a tracking device on the back of that clothing that flew away from her? I think she was too upset to notice, so..."

William blinked at the screen. "I, uh, can't read that script. Looks like she's going fast, but..."
The dot indicating Val's presence slowed down and moved to the side, at a place labelled "The Hotel." The dot remained there for some time...
"Is this normal? Also, where is she?"

Sky peeks over his shoulder. "That's a hotel, apparently. Maybe she stopped there for the night?" She shrugs helplessly. "Either that, or she found and removed the bug... from..."
"I put it square on her corset's back." Daring nods to herself. "The only way to remove it is to take it off with your hand, so..."
