Mindy begs the store clerk to let her go

Getting taken in by security didn't not appeal to Mindy. She would be questioned, have to explain her actions, probably get charged with attempted theft and indecent exposure. She'd get thrown into jail, lose her board at the estate, lose her job! Why did she even think this was a good idea in the first place? She looked to the sales clerk, eyes welling up with tears and begged, "Please! Don't let security take me away! I was just trying to get back what was mine..."

The brunette did not appear to care. She was already cleaning up the pile of bikinis that had dropped onto the floor from the tussle.

"You can explain your sob story to them, I'm just trying to do my job." she finally responded.

"I can't get arrested... I'll lose my job!" Mindy said, changing her tactic.

The sales lady shrugged her shoulders, "You should have thought of that before barging into my store, harassing a customer and then getting into a fight with me."

"I'm soooorrry..." Mindy said, bowing her head humbly. She got a sense of familiarity here, on her knees, naked and at the mercy of someone else. It was troubling to her how comfortable it now felt.

The sales lady stood up and looked at the prostrate girl in bikini bindings. Mindy looked up at her captor. "You can be sorry all you want, lady, but you messed with me and now you're going to have to pay for your actions."

"Pleeease... I don't even have anything to wear..." Mindy said, starting to get hysterical about her situation. "They're going to find me like this and drag me outside for everyone to see! Have mercy on me!"

The lady in the skirt sighed. She gazed down at Mindy's pathetic form, covered only in a shredded up top that barely covered anything at this point. The small blonde resembled a sad beggar more than a greedy thief.

"How did you end up like this in the first place?" she finally asked.

Mindy relayed her story to the lady. She rushed through the details in her urgency to get her story out, but the brunette stood and listened patiently until Mindy finished. "... and then you tied me up."

"So... you're a porn star?"

"I wouldn't say star... more like an up and comer..." Mindy replied meekly.

The lady snorted, "Yeah, sounds like you got taken advantage of by your director. Where is he in all of this?"

Mindy shrugged. After all that's happened, it never crossed her mind.

The lady chuckled and shook her head at the young maid's naivete. She stepped over and bent close, murmuring to the captive in a low voice, "Alright, blondie, I'll let you go... but you'll have to do something for me."

"I'll do anything!" Mindy cried out desperately.

The lady smiled and nodded. "What's your name?"

"Mindy."

The lady stood up again and walked away. Mindy leaned down and watched the sales clerk's legs navigate through the aisles to the cashier desk. She heard her pick up a phone and answer someone on the line.

"Yeah, hey Dave, it's Victoria. That shoplifter I called in about? Yeah, we settled it ourselves, no need to come in... mhmm... no problem. Thanks a lot. Talk to you later."

There was the click of the phone and the clack of the heels headed to the entrance at first, then back in Mindy's direction.

"Get up." Victoria ordered. Mindy managed to get to her feet, still bound by bikinis. "Come with me."

Mindy followed Victoria as she headed to the back room, hopping in her binds.
