Code 9- Preparations

"Are you all clear?" Erza said as she summed up the plan.

"Yeah, so what we had to do is to capture this dealer and round up his gang," Gray asked just to make sure.

"Yes."

"But then why do you need our help Erza? You're more than capable?" Lucy said, confused.

"Well that's because we need baits," Erza took a deep breath.

"What do you mean, Miss Erza?" this time was Juvia, who spoke up.

"Well, the leader have an eye for pretty things in dresses, the more reveling the better. Therefore, that means the person being bait can't do much combat which is why I need you guys."

"Okay, that make sense but you don't need all of us," Natsu piped up.

"Well from what we know the leader is very paranoid so there might be some hired assassins or bodyguard."

"I'm in now. Sounds like a hell of a party!" Natsu jumped up and hit his fists together in anticipation.

An irritated tick formed on Erza's jaw and dragged him down by the scarf around his neck.

"Were you even listening to me?" Erza spoke with a clenched jaw.

"Yeah, about the kicking ass part!" That earned him a fist to his face.

"The best place of capture is in a casino and you can't just walk in and start to beat everyone up."

"In short we have to blend in," Lucy sounded exasperated. He was really a bone head.

"Well said Lucy. So is every one clear?"

"Yes" everyone said in unison.

"Aye sir!" followed Happy.

"Alright! Let's go shopping for some clothes for tonight!" Lucy said with an excited gleam in her eyes. "Come on girls!" she grabbed a wrist from Erza and Juvia and headed out the door.

"We'll see you guys outside the casino at twenty- one hundred hours. And don't be late!" Erza called back as she allowed herself to be dragged away.

"But Gray- sama..." Juvia tried to pull back, until the two other girl grabbed an arm each, lifted her up and carried her away.

"He'll be fine Juvia and besides we'll look after you," they reassured her.

"God I'm so bored?" Natsu put extra emphasise on the last word. "Is there anything fun we can do?"

"Well you could go and leave to get ready alone," Gray didn't even look at the other agent as he cleaned and prepared his ice ray.

"I wasn't asking you, I asked my little buddy."

"Aye sir!" the blue android butted in.

"Well then get out and be bored somewhere else!" Gray's temper snapped, he had no patience for them today. First he was so worried about tonight's job with Juvia. It was true that her skills was good but he couldn't help it he doesn't want her to get hurt. Because she was a friend, he thought to himself.

He took out a suit and a light blue tie as the night's outfit. That should blend in, I wonder what will Juvia will be wearing? He'd guessed that they will have to act as partners, as part of the façade. Maybe he should get them something so that they will look 'together'. Before he could stop himself he was out the door and hopped on his motorcycle and headed towards the mall.
