Chapter 15

What's next?

Scully goes behind the laundromat

Scully had no idea what the other two stores next to the laundromat were, but she didn't want to risk being caught in one of them if they happened to not be clothing stores. The mere thought of being seen and trapped in her underwear and pumps in one of those stores brought a blush to her face.

So that left one option as she looked towards the back of the building. Taking a deep breath, the FBI Agent began to slowly and carefully crawl her way towards the back of the laundromat, trying her best to keep out of sight. When she made it to the edge, she looked down. Much to her chagrin, the back of the laundromat didn't have a fire escape.

Scully guessed that made sense. The building was only one story, after all.

However, she did notice that there was a drainage pipe. A network of long, metallic, slightly rusted pipes that lead to a water spout at the bottom. She wagered that she should be able to shimmy down the pipeline and make it to the concrete below.

That was when Detective Scully noticed a slight snag in her plan. In order to actually shimmy down the pipes, she would have to turn around and lower herself down. And in order to do that, she would have to stand up, running the risk of exposing her bra and panty clad body to the people in the town, even if it was for a brief moment.

Of course, if she stayed up here any longer, she would be met with the same result sooner or later.

Scully inwardly debated whether or not she could risk it.
