Walk to Carrie's department across the store as fast as she could

(Originally by Ewong)

All my important bits were covered, I really wanted to see Carrie be exposed, and I was tired of standing around. The only thing I could think of to do was to go to Carrie's department. No need to move around in a round-about way. Best to be direct.

I made my way across the store, from books, through men's clothing, and into Carrie's department, using the major paths and the shortest route that was available.

Arriving at Carrie's department, I spent another fifteen minutes searching for any trace of Lisa, Alicia, or Carrie, to no avail. Despite not being excessively exposed, I was starting to get embarrassed that I was only dressed in my bikini in the department store.

Seeing a sales associate walking by, I stopped her to ask if she'd seen any of my friends.

• You've been tricked, Carrie doesn't work at the store.
• The sales associate hands you a note from Lisa and waits for you to respond.
• The sales associate demands something before she will help you.
