Sam has her do it alone, but Mackenzie asks for some cover.

“Go ahead and find Kelsey, tell her we have a volunteer.” Sam said to Kim as she slipped out of the room.

Mackenzie gulps audibly, looking down and anxiously covering herself with her hands as Sam turns towards her. “If you go talk to Kelsey, she’ll get you all settled out back. There’s a garage door leading to the unloading area, and you’ll need to bring all the boxes in, one in each of the rooms...” Mackenzie stopped listening as her ears began to ring. Am I really gonna go outside like this? Mackenzie thought to herself. I can’t just back out now, I’m supposed to help Sam today. “Are you s-sure you don’t have- you don’t have any cover for me?” Mackenzie cut Sam off, nearly shaking.

“Wha?” Sam said, not totally surprised that Mack was lowering the ante, but taken aback nonetheless. She does seem shaken. thought the sandy blonde. I better come up with something. “Hmmm...” She walks around the back of her desk, eyeing her wastebasket and keeping her back to the anxious redhead. She saw the L-shaped expertly-ripped towel sitting atop the completely clean wadded up pieces of paper. She pictured the blushing redhead running around carrying boxes through the hallways all scantily clad in nothing but this piece of handiwork. I guess it cooould be pretty fun to take one step back and two steps forward. Note to self: She can’t justify “losing” nothing. I’ll bet she doesn’t keep the towel for long. Samantha thought to herself, smiling.

“Oh, here it is!” Sam reached further under her desk than necessary, making it look like she was picking up the towel off the ground, rather than having to explain that the trash is totally sanitary. “I must have missed the trash can earlier.”

Mackenzie’s eyes lit up and she visibly stopped shaking as she almost lunged for the towel, hugging it to her body. “Oh thank you Sam, I thought I had to go outside naked.” she said as she tried to wrap the tiny towel around herself while scrunching her nose and looking down. “Not that this is much better.”

Sam ushered her toward the door while the redhead frantically got the towel in place. She explained to the nearly nude cutie that Kelsey will know where to go. “I’ve got a few phone calls to make. Good luck out there. Thanks for the help today. See you later!” She said as she pecked the redhead on the lips and gave a swift slap to her backside. All four of her cheeks turned just a little bit redder.

Mackenzie gave a small yelp as she suddenly found herself out in an empty hallway. Her towel swung around with her little jump before it fell back into place. She turned around, asking if maybe Sam could talk to Kelsey for her, before her words dwindled in the air. She spied Sam already dialing the phone and tapping her foot in frustration.

Okay. Okay. I’m doing this for her. I’m doing this for her. She repeated her thoughts like a chant before steeling herself and heading toward the lobby.
