He cuts you a deal.

Dan stares at Jo for a few seconds, as if making his mind up. You suspect, however, that he had already decided what he was going to do when he stopped you. "Hmm...I can tell that you aren't the type to go shoplifting often, are you Mrs. Henderson?"

"N-no. I've never done anything like this before." Jo looks pale.

"No, it's generally groups of teenagers in hoodies. I hate teenagers. Who the fuck do they think they are, spending all day wandering around, never buying ANYTHING! If I could kick those shits out... Anyway, I digress. I tell you what, I'll cut you a deal. I'll let this one slide. On three conditions."

"What?" You can see the colour return to Jo's face as she realises that she can get off the hook. Her voice becomes less shaky.

"First, you leave the mall immediately, and never return. Second, you return your stolen items."

"Fine. And the third?"

"Well, me and my associate here like the way you look in our merchandise." Sean nods back to Mark as he walks around Jo, probing her body with his eyes. "And we think it's only fair that since we are being so generous, we should get to experience the merchandise first-hand. For Quality Assurance purposes, of course. Do you catch my drift?"

Jo's face whitens again. "If I...fuck both of you, you'll let us go?"

"That's right."

"And never mention it to anyone?"

"Not a peep."

Jo sags. She pauses for a minute to think.
