Stayed quiet, to avoid attention.

[Originally by Phantompen]

Mackenzie knew there was no way her bottoms would survive any kind of run, not without holding the strings in place with her hands. Besides that, Mackenzie wasn't sure running in her bikini top was wise either, considering the not-so-stable nature of the garment.

It wasn't easy to let the thief simply escape, but Mackenzie had little real choice. Drawing attention to herself with a shout would be dangerous, running was out of the question, so her only option was to stay put. The phone could be replaced, as well as the other things in her bag. The real problem was the room key. Mackenzie was going to need that to get dressed again, after all.

Of course, she could try explaining herself to the front desk at the hotel. Surely they had people lose their keys all the time, and she could prove her identity with personal information like her birthdate or whatever else they needed to know. If a curvy redhead in distress didn't make someone sympathetic, what would?

This still meant making the walk all the way back to her hotel. In nothing but a bikini with precariously attached bottoms...

Knowing that a miraculous fix to her troubles wasn't going to appear any time soon, Mackenzie began the long walk back to the hotel.

Unfortunately for Mackenzie...
