Shoes, lost and found

"My shoes aren't here in the cubby." Carol said out loud. Alexa was having the same struggle, and both women looked through the surrounding cubbies. Nothing. Other people's shoes, but neither could find theirs.

"I'm sorry, I can't seem to find them either." The worker at the front desk said, having searched all the possible cubbies. "Is it possible you brought them into the room with you?"

"No. We both left them out here, in what we assumed was a safe space to store them." Carol said, with her voice sounding quite displeased.

"I, well, we will have to review the security feed." He replied, then rubbing the back of his head. "We have a lost and found, if you'd like to search that. Perhaps you may find them there?"

Carol did not reply, but followed the worker to the back area with the lost and found. Lexi's hand was pulled along, with the tights doing little from stopping the cold marble from touching her feet. The tight grip on her hand made it evident that Carol was not too pleased.
