Buying some supplies for the trip

Janet spent the rest of day shopping, picking out a few new bikinis and some other resort wear, and making a healthy dent in the thousand dollar allowance her boss had given her. As she tried the bikinis on she smiled at the sight of her toned body in the mirror, her moderately sized breasts filling the cups without spilling out of them and her ripe rump looking particularly sexy as she admired herself.

"All that gym time has paid off, girl!" she chuckled to herself as she admired her body, thinking that at least she'd look the part of a rich heiress with nothing more to do than keep in shape and entertain herself.

She felt a small quiver of doubt at the thought of her assignment, worried that the "**** paradise" story might actually be true, and wondering what to do if it was. She mulled that over as she changed back into her clothes and made her purchases, finally making a decision as she left the store and headed out into the mall.

She found what she was looking for in an outdoor equipment store. A small aerosol can of pepper spray, meant to discourage dogs, but doubtless equally effective against human hounds as well.

She may be going to get a story, but she was damned if she was going to be fresh meat from some rapists.

If that's what Freedonia really harboured, she told herself with a shake of her head.
