The city of Tokyo was a robust and energetic city full of lights and busy people. It was night time here, meaning Martial Law was going to take affect here soon. Sitting inside of a nearby tea shop, Xiaoyu impatiently gripped the manila folder in her hand that contained information about the Williams' siblings loving mother. Xiaoyu felt the pit of her stomach drop in anxiety. Anna want her out of all the people in the world to spy on her mother? What gives? Soon, a waiter came and placed the green tea that Xiaoyu ordered in front of her, she thanked the waiter before he left. The young Phoenix placed honey and lemon into her tea, and just when she was about to drink it, out of the corner of her eye she witnessed the Tekken Force Soldiers beginning to assemble. 'Dammit..' She thought to herself, this isn't going to end good. Drinking the rest of her tea, Xiaoyu paid for it before leaving out of a different door in the back of the store. Once outside, Xiaoyu had to be sneaky if she wanted to be on the right track if she wanted to spot her target. She began looking around for a way to get a better view..

i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l620/michaelstmeadows/Johanna%20Avatar_zpsmkoibtez.png Johanna walked through the streets off tokyo. She was on the phone, as she always was, conducting business. She was smiling, "Of course... We take care of our clients...!" Her lips pursed a little, "I'll let the operative know, thankyou." She hung up, and sent a message to said operative. She inhaled, and walked into a little shop that sold fighting gear. The worker beamed at Johanna, and she waved. He walked up and asked if he could help her with anything. She smiled, "I'm looking for a boxing robe, in the finest material you have...." He looked a little confused, and then said "Oh..! For your son...?" "Of sorts..." Johanna said. "He's a very talented fighter, though... and I'm quite proud, so I'd like to give him a gift!" The worker nodded, and smiled. I know just the one!" He presented her with a black satin robe, with red accents on the neck and cuffs. She smiled, and took it. "Perfect..! A large size if you have it, he's tall..." She smirked, and handed it back to him. He went and grabbed a large size, and brought it to the register. Johanna pulled out her wallet and gave him her credit card. "Price is a non issue..." He smiled, and swiped it, having her sign the receipt, and then gave her her items. Johanna took it, "Thanks..." And left the shop.

Finding a space in an alley next to the store where Johanna walked out of, Xiao examined her quickly. She purchased a boxing robe? This is odd. Since when was Johanna the type to buy gifts for people? Whoever this person was, they had to be special to her. Peeking her head out of the alley, Xiao waited until she noticed that Johanna was a good length away from her but just enough to see her actions. Hehe, who knew spying could be so much fun! --- It was Friday evening, the night of a very special date with a particular someone. Pulling up to a fancy restaurant, Marcella got out of her luxury car and checked the address that was in her hand written on a note. 'Yep! This is the place! Chris outdid himself here. I'm impressed!' Marcella thought to herself, she liked a man who put thought into his work. Marcella dressed for the occasion in her OUTFIT with her dark black tresses flowing straight to the middle of her back. She wore minimal makeup but enough to expose her beauty. She walked into the restaurant where a waiter greeted her, "Hello! You must be Marcella Torres. Mr. Williams has made a special reservation for the both of you, follow me please." Marcella followed the waiter who lead her to a table away from the others, but had a gorgeous view of the city, just how she liked it. She sat across from the window so she could look outside, the waiter placed the finest glass of wine they offered and pulled up her chair. "Mr. Williams will be here shortly madam, he wanted to make sure you were as comfortable as possible." Marcella smiled and thanked the waiter for his service before taking a sip of the refreshing wine.

celebrityimages.org/thumbs/0857620/0857620_101.jpeg A motorcycle parked in front of the restaurant. Christopher Williams sat on it, cutting the engine, and taking his helmet off carefully not to mess up his pompadour hairdo. He handed the helmet and the keys to the valet, "Don't wreck it." He said, grinning. He quickly walked to the door, wearing an all black suit. His phone buzzed, it was a text from Anna. "Trust me, she'll love it. I've been there dozens of times." He sighed, and wrote back, "She better..." He felt butterflies in his stomach, as he entered the restaurant. He saw some roses on one of the tables and snuck one. He ran the petals over his lips, as he saw Marcella from across the room. "Damn..." He thought to himself. He shyly walked over to her, and laid the long stemmed rose before her. Looking down and smiled, "Well... Don't you look beautiful tonight." He then sat across from her, and ordered himself a glass of wine, seeing that she already had some. "I've never been here before, but my sister said it was the nicest place in Tokyo, so... I figured the best for you." He swallowed saliva, and looked around. He was so nervous. ---- Johanna walked into a high end dress store. She wanted to buy Anna a particular Versace dress that she had heard her talking about. She browsed in the shop for about forty five minutes before walking out with one bag.

Looking through the window, Marcella saw a very familiar motorcycle pull up in front of the restaurant, and for some odd reason her heart jumped slightly at the thought of him.Could she be catching feelings already? Nah, maybe a crush but not full feelings. Christopher was nice but she just met him, it would be impossible for feelings to grow that fast. Unless Chris was Cupid in disguise, hehe. Soon, Marci gazed upon the eyes of Chris as he walked over to her with a rose that he placed gingerly in front of her. The gesture made a toothy grin appear on her face, it was sweet yet simple. They say the smaller things are what mean the most value. "Well... Don't you look beautiful tonight.""Thank you, you look very handsome yourself. You sure clean up nice." Marcella replied to Chris, she examined his wardrobe, it was sleek and sharp, just how she liked it. Marcella overheard Chris stating that he hasn't been here before and that his sister recommended the place to him, even though Marcella wasn't too fond of Anna she had to give it to her, girl knew how to get around! "Well, I have to hand it to your sister Chris, she sure knows how women like to be treated. This place is amazing!" Marcella took another small sip of wine, before the waiter came back with their salad for an appetizer. --- Xiao watched as Johanna walked into a high end clothing store and walked out with a long bag, with what seems to be a dress in it! This woman had to be made out of money, it's filthy how wealthy this woman is! The young Chinese woman kept tabs on Johanna watching her every move, but from a distance.

celebrityimages.org/thumbs/0857620/0857620_101.jpeg Chris blushed when Marcella called him handsome. Growing up, Chris never really was told that he looked good. Anna and Nina were always praised, especially Anna, for their looks. It was nice to hear that from Marcella. The waiter gave them their salads, and Chris thanked him before returning his attention to Marcella. "My sister knows what she wants and how to get it..." He reached over, and took her hand, stroking it with his thumb. "But enough about her, today is about you." He smiled, and then pulled away to begin eating. "This is good..." He said. He drizzled a little dressing over it, and continued. After swallowing, he looked up at Marcella. "So... What made you join the Mishima Zaibatsu..? My family's worked for them numerous times, but... I don't know much about it. My sisters weren't exactly great sharers when it came to work. "He laughed. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. As he ate, he noticed he kept glancing up at her. He felt very lucky to be with such a beautiful woman. -- As Johanna's shopping spree continued, she noticed a girl who seemed to be following her. Coincidence? Probably, but Johanna acted normal, as if not to give the girl any clue that she knew she was being watched. She walked into a weapons shop, and looked around at all the knives. She hadn't seen Nina yet, but definitely wanted to give her a gift when she did see her.

Marcella smiled as Chris ran his thumb over her hand, he definitely knew how to please a woman. While eating her salad, Marcella noticed that Chris asked her why she joined the Mishima Zaibatsu. Grinning, she chewed and swallowed the rest of her food before replying, "I'm a Military Brat hehe, all I know is being in the service. My parents were involved in it, so that made me want to join as well. At first, I didn't like it too much but as the years went on I began to like it a little more. Pays the bills so I'm all for it." Taking another sip of her wine, Marcella wanted to get to know Chris a lot more. "Tell me more about yourself Chris. I would definitely love to know you." --- Xiao noticed that her cover was blown, not like it wasn't that obvious though. Maybe Xiao wasn't too keen of this spying thing after all, but she had to do this for Jin's sake. She took out a camera on her phone and took photos every place that Johanna had been and sent them over to Anna, to help keep tabs on her. "I hope this is enough for now.." Xiao said to herself as she collected all the photos and sent what she had to Anna.

Chris smiled, chuckling a bit. "Well.... I grew up in Dublin, you should go sometime it's pretty cool. We traveled a lot when I was really young, due to mom and dad's work. We trained mostly... There wasn't really a lot of family bonding, and as we got older Nina dived straight into work, and Anna just did her own thing trying to get dad's attention." He laughed. "My dad died a long time ago, and Nina and Anna just kinda left, so I stayed behind with Mom. I figured she needed me, y'know..?" "Ever since this... lovely war broke out, we decided it'd be best to stay with Anna..." He sipped his wine, "No offense to the Zaibatsu or anything." He grinned. "As far as mundane things go, I usually train, and work.... Whenever I have down time I enjoy reading and havin' a pint with the boys." He smiled. He couldn't help stare at Marcella, "Did I tell you you were beautiful tonight...?" --- Xiao received a message from Anna, "Shopping..? You'll need to do better than that, my sweet!"

Her cheeks grew a bashful blush when Chris mentioned she was beautiful, smiling at his direction. She took a sip of wine before she responded to the man. "Y'know, I wasn't always this pretty. It took a lot out of me to express myself to others, I was bullied a lot in school. Which is another reason why we moved around a lot in my younger days." She lifts up her fist in a playful manner, "Because I wasn't afraid of using these! Hehe." She pursed her lips in thought, thinking about her younger years, to the woman she was now, "I guess that's why I became a soldier, prove something to myself and to others y'know?" Marcella thought to herself, when was the last time she ever opened up to someone like this? It takes a special person to make her accomplish such a thing, maybe Chris could just be that special. --- Receiving a message from Anna, Xiaoyu groaned in frustration before texting her reply: What do you expect me to do? I can't just walk up to the damn woman! The more this played out, the more Xiao started to realize maybe Anna may have picked the wrong person to spy on her mother.

Chris' eyes narrowed, "Who bullied you..? I'll kill em..!" He was mostly joking, but there was a part of him that was serious about it, and had a feeling Marcella knew that. "As for your looks, I have no doubt that you have always been beautiful." He continued eating his salad, while gazing at her. "You're classically beautiful. You don't need to flaunt and wear lace to prove a point.." He said before eating more salad. --- "No one said you couldn't..." Anna replied. Just as the message pulled through, Johanna walked up to Xiaoyu. "Excuse me, dear... I seem to be lost..." She laughed. "Could you direct me to the nearest coffee shop, I just can't find one....!"

She giggled when he mentioned about killing the people who teased her but she waved it down with her hand, they weren't her concern anymore. "They were just some regular school children, you know, the typical school bullying stuff that kids do, no biggie." Marcella smiled at Chris. He had a way of swooning her with his words, he was so free- spirited and kind, being around him seems like a breath of fresh air, he helps especially with being away from the military life, after a while that gets old. Soon, the waiters appeared with their main course, Marcella ordered her favorite, smoked Parmesan encrusted salmon with asparagus on the side, she wasn't too much a starch person. She thanked the waiter, but before he left she asked him could he bring out more wine, the waiter smiled and agreed to the request and walked off. Before digging in, she wanted to thank Chris once more for the lovely evening, "Thank you Chris, again. This is more than I could ever imagine, hehe." --- Xiao was just about to reply to Anna when a voice came over her that sent immediate chills down her spine, it was no other than Johanna Williams, the woman that Xiao is supposed to spy on! 'Oh shit...'She asked about the whereabouts of a coffee shop, swallowing the lump in her chest, Xiao didn't want to blow her cover, so she regained her composure. "Uh, yeah! I know where the nearest coffee shop is! In fact, I know where the best one in town is located!" Xiao walked ahead of Johanna, leading the way. While walking she adjusted her strategy, maybe if she were to befriend the elder Williams, she could get the information she possibly needed. Maybe this spying thing wasn't a bad idea!

"Excellent!" Johanna exclaimed. "All this walking around has me so tired, I need a pick me up!" She laughed. This little girl seemed nice enough. A little to enthusiastic, though... Johanna would bide her time before seeing why she was following her around. ... "My daughter works hard, so I figured I'd surprise her with a little something." Johanna said as she gestured to the dress she had purchased. --- Chris ordered Steak and potatoes smothered in gravy, mushrooms, and onions. "Thanks.." He said to the waiter. Marcella ordered more wine, and then thanked him for the dinner. "It's my pleasure, m'lady." He smiled, cutting up his steak. "A girl like you deserves the finest things..." He said, as he took a bite. He savored it, and by the look on his face, he enjoyed it. "Maybe I should take Anna's advice more often, this is really good." He usually wasn't the best with words. He felt a little awkward, but comfortable with Marcella at the same time. "Sorry if this makes my breath stink.." He said, and then looked down at his food, "Not assuming anything's gonna.. Oh.." He turned red, and just continued eating.

He was a handsome man indeed, and he seemed to be the perfect match for her but only time will tell. He explained to her that she was the type that deserved the finer things in life, and that was true, her mother raised her to find a man that will treat her as such, and she thinks that she may have found the jackpot. "Sorry if this makes my breath stink.."Marcella giggled at his remark, she felt like a kid in a candy store, it takes a strong man to make her feel this way. "Not assuming anything's gonna.. Oh.." Marcella noticed his hue go from normal to red, he was adorable, she'd have to give him that. "Hehe, well you better freshen up!" Was it the wine taking over her judgment? "I may have to repay you for your efforts!" Marcella said before taking another small sip of wine. Definitely the wine. Or was it? Normally, Marcella doesn't kiss on first dates but Chris may be the exception of that rule, yeah sure her judgement may be a little clouded but it doesn't stop the fact she may have feelings for the man. --- Xiao took notice of the dress that Johanna brought her daughter, it was absolutely stunning! "Wow! I bet she would look amazing in that!" Xiaoyu exclaimed. Before long, they came across a cafe', Xiaoyu walked in and the sound of a bell chime on the door could be heard. The cafe was old-fashioned, which means they had the best quality ingredients in town. From there, Xiaoyu took a seat nearest to the window. She looked at the menu on the table, to see what she wanted to order.

When Marcella told him maybe he should freshen up, he got even redder. The grin on his face was ridiculous, "I think you've had enough to drink..." He laughed. "You sure you're gonna be able to drive home ok..?" He said as he continued eating. "I would be happy to drive you home..." He smiled, and then cringed again, "Not saying I wanna get rid o--..." He paused, and said quietly to himself, "chris you were doing so well...." He then finished off his glass. --- Johanna wasn't impressed with the appearance of the place, "How... quaint..." She looked around, and set her things down. "Tell me, dear.... what's good here...?"

Looking down at the wine glass that was half full, she had to agree with Chris, she had enough. She smiled, he was concerned for her, how cute. Chris offered to drive her home, while Marcella wasn't drunk, she was under the influence enough to where it would impair her driving just a little, she didn't want to take the risk. "I would appreciate that Chris, thank you." Marcella accepted the offer for Chris to drive her home. --- Xiao looked up from the menu when Johanna asked her about what they served here, "Umm..." Her finger scrolled down the menu until she reached the specialty coffees, which is particularly the side that Xiao orders from whenever she comes here. "The Caramel espresso is pretty good..!" Oh she hope she wasn't blowing her cover!
