Mindy gets taken in to security.

Mindy was led up a small narrow hallway under flickering fluorescent lights. The concrete under her feet was cold in contrast to the sun-soaked wood planks of the boardwalk. The hall echoed from Mindy's clanking chained leash and Victoria's clomping high heels. She walked with grace and the sound became a repetitive rhythm compared to the padding of Mindy's bare feet to keep up with those long legs.

Finally, the long walk ended in front of an office door marked 'Security'. Victoria opened the door and led Mindy in.

"Gentlemen! I bring you a thief!" Victoria announced.

Mindy blinked as her eyes adjusted to the brighter office lights. Inside were two men dressed in blue uniforms, each behind their own desks.

"Doesn't look like she got away with much," the closer officer remarked as he eyed Mindy's naked body. Mindy blushed and looked away.

"Well that's because she picked Tori's store to try and rob, huh, Tori?" the second one laughed.

"Don't call me that, Ted," Victoria replied icily.

"Ah, right, sorry about that, ma'am," Ted humbly apologized.

"So, what are we booking her with, miss?" the first officer asked, taking out a pad and pen.

"I caught her trying to steal some of the bikinis," the sales clerk answered.

The note taking officer took another long stare at Mindy, "Dressed like this?"

"No, but not much better..." Victoria admitted, "We tried to settle things without involving you guys, but that didn't work out..."

Ted chuckled, "I'll bet... hey, Harry, did you know that Tori... ah Victoria here studies MMA?"

Harold gave Victoria an appreciative nod, "I did not know that," then added, "but it would still be appreciated if you let us do our jobs in the future."

Victoria nods graciously and removes Mindy's collar. "Then I leave her in the care of you gentlemen," she says and promptly leaves.

Mindy watched the mistress exit and suddenly felt alone and vulnerable, naked in a room of men. The first man, Harold, looked like a mature law abiding officer with graying hair and gentle eyes, but Ted, the younger of the duo was much more boisterous and his eyes had that look of desire that Mindy was quickly becoming acute to. The way he looked at her made her shiver out of fear or excitement; she couldn't tell anymore.

"Ted, take her outside and hose her off," Harold said, "Don't want her mucking up the holding pen until the police get here..."

Ted got up and opened the office door, "This way, miss..." he said while giving wolfish eyes to the girl's body. Harold went back to reading his newspaper.
