Go to the front desk for help

"Maybe the people at the front desk can help." Mackenzie muttered, though she dreaded trying to ask them for help without the translation assistance of her phone.

Mackenzie hesitantly walked out into the lobby, much to the delight of a few entering men. The towel was long enough to cover all the essentials, but not too much longer than that. Almost all of Mackenzie's slender legs were on display as she hustled over to the receptionist.

"<Excuse me! I need some help please.>" she said.

The receptionist looked up and wasn't even phased seeing a towel-clad woman standing before her. Though, she did raise an eyebrow slightly that it was the American woman again. "<How can I help you?>" she said.

"<Please, I need...>" Mackenzie paused as she tried to remember the word for 'clothes' or something similar. The closest she could think of was the verb for 'wearing' instead. "<I need to wear.>" she continued, while gesturing at the towel she had on.

"<You... need to wear the towel?>" the employee asked, perplexed.

"<I need to wear to leave here.>" Mackenzie said, still gesturing to her towel. I need something to wear or I can't leave! she thought, desperately racking her brain for the right words.

"<You want to leave with that?!>" she asked again, visibly confused.

"<Yes! Yes please!>" Mackenzie said, thinking she was getting the point across. "<I need to wear to leave!>"

After a long pause, the receptionist said, "<Alright, if you're sure. Exit's over there.>" and gestured to a door on the side of the building.

Mackenzie hesitated. Was she telling her there was something to wear in that room? "<Wear over there?>" she asked, pointing at the door.

"<Yes. You can wear it as you leave. Have a nice day!>" she said, utterly perplexed by the foreign girl's notion to walk around Tokyo nearly naked.

"<Thank you very much!>" Mackenzie said with relief. She said I could wear something in there to leave with! Mackenzie thought. They must have lost clothes or something in there that I can use. Mackenzie hurried over to the door, pushed it open, and walked through.

It was only as the door loudly swung shut behind her that Mackenzie realized she had just stepped into a narrow alley. She was outside of the building entirely! Not fifteen feet away Mackenzie could see the sidewalk, full of people walking in both directions. The redhead whirled around to open the door again, but found it locked. Apparently it was to be used as a side exit only. Mackenzie was now stranded in the middle of Tokyo with nothing but a damp towel to her name. And her hotel was an unimaginably far distance away.

"Oh....... shit," she muttered as she tried to think of what she could do to get out of the nightmare in which she now found herself.
