The Wammy House Memories

Time To Fly

Chapter 36!

Elizabeth flicked through the channels with the TV remote before she sighed to herself, Backup had been gone for over three hours now. She placed the remote down on the bedside cabinet and slide from the bed, she was going to make herself a cup of tea. She switched the kettle on before she wrapped her arms herself while she walked over to the window of the hotel room, she pulled back one of the curtains and looked outside. Heathrow Airport was all lit up with white and purple coloured lights, she then heard the kettle's switch click off. She made herself another cup of tea and returned back to bed, she stared at the television while she ate some crisps from a bowl. Her attention was drawn to the door when she heard it open, she saw Backup carrying a blue suitcase into the room.

" What's in the suitcase?" Elizabeth asked.

" You'll see." He replied.

Backup closed the door quietly behind him and walked over to the bed, he placed the suitcase next to it before he opened it. Elizabeth looked over the edge of the bed and raised an eyebrow when she saw the contents of the suitcase. There was a leather cosmetic box, a blonde wig, a brown envelope, a few bottles of chemicals, a black handbag and a plastic bag with a camera inside of it.

" What is all of this stuff for?" Elizabeth asked.

" It's the extra items I needed to acquire for our journey, but it seems that my plans are about to unexpectedly change." He replied. " I don't want to alarm you but we're being followed by another connection of Watari's since we arrived in London. I believe this person has been tracking our every moves since we booked into the hotel."

" What?!" Elizabeth asked while she placed her mug down on the cabinet. " Have you seen this other connection of Watari's yet?"

" I'm afraid to say that I've not seen them, but I know for a fact that it's not the connection I paid off this morning because I met him in town a few hours ago." He replied before he removed his hoody and hung it over the end of the bed. " It's important that we change our photographs in our passports, I'll not let my plan fail when we have come so far already! I would like you to put this wig on and get changed into some plain, I need to get your photograph retaken for your passport."

" Wouldn't the offertories at the airport notice that the passports have been tampered with?" Elizabeth asked. " I know the passports are fake, but wouldn't it be hard to change the photographs? The glue as already set, also how will you develop the photographs? I don't think they have a dark room in the hotel especially made for developing photographs."

" You doubt me again, the camera is just a prop for the suitcase." He replied before he opened an envelope. " There's a photo booth downstairs in the hotel's reception, I'll escort you to the photo booth when you're dressed. I suggest you hurry, the reception area is empty at the moment. No questions will be asked, it will be straight forward." 

" Okay." Elizabeth said with a sigh. " Are you going to change your passport's photograph too?"

" Of course, we both need to change our appearance for our journey." He replied. " Now be quick, it's nearly 12am. I would like to sleep at some point tonight unless you would like to socialize about today's events. Is there anything on your mind you would like to discuss with me?"

" It's okay, you need to get some sleep for once instead of talking to me until ungodly hours in the morning." Elizabeth smiled before she slid from the bed. " I'll be quick, I'll just wear one of my plain dresses. But I'll make sure I wear a different one at the airport tomorrow, I won't be long!"

Elizabeth grabbed a plain white dress from her shopping bag and hurried to the bathroom, she then got changed into it. She returned to the bedroom and took the blonde wig from the suitcase, she then tied her hair up before she put the wig on. She went to look at herself in the mirror and style the wig, it didn't look too bad. Backup had changed into a baggy black shirt, he had his hair combed back. He looked very different with his hair combed back, he looked handsome in a strange way.
