She tries to chase

With Bradley vanishing into the food court, Karen figured there was no time to waste. Instantly she dashed off after him, but after only two steps it proved too much.

You didn't even need to help out, as the one remaining heel proved to unbalance her and for the second time in as many minutes she found herself crashing down face first onto the floor, skidding a little before finally coming to a stop a few feet closer to the food court.

She felt like crying. She was laying here in the middle of the mall, practically naked with only her thin panties left - the other heel had flown off as she fell - and her son now missing somewhere in the food court with her clothing.
