Clothes and towel are gone

Meanwhile Lauren was enjoying her shower. It felt so good to wash her inflamed nethers and to get that soap crust off her body. Also, as before, the water pressure wasn't bad. Still, Lauren wanted to hurry. She didn't want to risk another disaster like this morning. So, a bit reluctantly Lauren turned off the water. She went to grab her towel... and her heart dropped.

Where was her towel? Where was her clothes?!

Frantically Lauren looked around. They were nowhere in sight. Oh god, they'd disappeared! Someone must have taken them! That meant... she was stranded outdoors naked! She didn't even have the key to her apartment, which she had locked before coming over here. She was safe with the curtain for now, but what if someone came outside? Also it was a brisk night, she couldn't just stand naked and soaking wet forever!

Lauren considered her options. She could go ask someone for help... which would entail doing so naked! Who could she ask? She could try Alan, but that meant he'd see her body again! Same was true for all the neighbors. Lauren was tempted to just stay hidden by the curtain, but that was no solution! She had to make a choice.
