(Contessa's 1st Assignment 7 Years ago)

As everyone kept their selves busy for last minute valentine gift shopping and getting worried about their dates, in a small capsule hotel in the middle of Tokyo, Contessa was nervously adjusting her top of the line bob-styled wig. She can't risk for it to suddenly fall from her head or she will get busted on her first assignment.
Good thing Tokyo Fashion is all about Kawaii, she wouldn't look silly or feel left out even if the wig looked natural on her.
Next thing she fumbled on was her white Lolly stockings. She had to play her character but she was so nervous she felt like throwing up.
No time for that now, she wanted to get it over and done.
"What if I mess up?" Her mind went buzzing.
She can't fail her father, he trusted her too much.
Too much that he already gave her her first experience how it really feels to be on dangerous grounds.

Riinngggg.... Riinngggg...

The sound of her cellphone disturbed her dazed mind.
She glanced at the screen and it flashed "Private Number".
She clicked accept, "Hello?"

A voice started talking without pause; "From now on you will be addressed as Trigger-Happy. Leave after 15 minutes. Synchronize your time to 1430 hours. Go straight to to Tokyo Station, look for Aiko she will give you a purple paper bag then head to Laox. Go to a cubicle, read the message and load the weapon. Make sure you have the keys. Follow the instructions and head back to the airport. Yuro will be there with your luggage. Leave the country as soon as possible. I'll contact you through the same phone so don't loose it."
"Wha--" Even before Contessa was able to ask for the identity of the caller, the line was already dead.

Leaving her staring at her phone. She was about to stand when she realized she was still inside the capsule.
Damn her situation.
She usually gets first class services in hotels whenever she roam the world during her modeling stints, but right now she has to forget about her other life to fulfill her other one.
Crammed inside her capsule hotel room, she adjusted her watch as soon as she realized what she was supposed to do.
Went out.
Paid for her stay and headed out.

Even if half of Tokyo dresses like her right now she can't still seem to get used to it.
She looks like a doll with all the frills.

Now, now, What was it she's supposed to do?
Riinnggg... Riinngg...
Her phone went ballistic as if reading her mind that she needed some reminders.
