Jessica gets caught!

Jessica looked around the area, so she could be able to pinpoint any potential threat or possibility. She'd noticed that basically everyone walking down the streets in the area were fixated on the auction, thankfully the auctioneer had a very engaging voice. She then looked over to the market behind where the auction was taking place, where she saw mutliple suitcases and cardboard boxes filled with stuff.

Jessica saw this as her best chance to escape this nightmare, even if she's unable to find her stuff she should be able to at least get some clothes. Without anymore hesitation, Jessica crouched down and ran as fast as she could while staying silent. She kept her head focused forward and didn't pay attention to anything else.

When Jessica finally reached the market unseen, she did a little victory gesture. "Alright, now where's my stuff?" She mumbled to herself. The naked reporter frantically darted around the covered area, moving from box to box looking for her clothes. She eventually found a cardboard box labelled "JJ" in permanent marker.

"That has to be it, those are my initials." Jessica whispered, treading lightly while crouched toward the box. Just as she got to the box, however, a hand suddenly grabbed her shoulder. Jessica frantically turned around. "Shhhhhh! Please! Please don't alert anyone! Just let me talk!" Jessica pleaded in a whisper.

The hand belonged to a ginger haired overweight man, who didn't look like he got many female attention. The man didn't say a word, instead he nodded his head but kept his hand on Jessica. "Thank you! This has all been a huge misunderstanding you see, I'm just an outsider! I didn't know about your dumb permits! But now I've been branded an idiot and gone through hell! Please, just let me take my clothes, so I can find a way out of this!" Jessica pleaded, still in whispers.

The man thought for a moment, using his other hand to scratch his patchy ginger beard. "Hmmm. You have the idiot brand, which means I'll end up like you if I help you escape." The man explained, he seemed keen on helping Jessica but knew it would get him in trouble. Jessica sighed, she wasn't expecting the man to even co operate but she had still gotten nowhere. "Well what are you gonna do? You've claimed me!" She whispered angrily.

The man looked around, checking if the coast was clear. "I can't help you escape, but there's someone else who might be able to." He explained to Jessica, gesturing for her to stand up. "That's great! Who is this guy?" Jessica whispered while she stood up. "It's a good place, should help you." The man responded.

"Excellent let's go then!" Jessica started to walk. The man suddenly tightened his grip on Jessica's shoulder. "Not so fast, there's one thing I wanna do first!" The man whispered in Jessica's ear, causing her whole spine to shiver.
