Aimee was not the most beautiful girl you've ever seen but she was a tall natural blonde with a Nordic athletic features. She was lean and incredibly healthy. Like the girls you've seen on the cover of health magazines stepping up to a Tee, or walking onto the Tennis Court flashing one of those million dollar smiles. She was lightly tanned with firm skin that looked outstanding in a white tennis skirt. She was not over muscled but she just radiated health on the hoof. When you picked up and looked at one of those health magazines in the doctor's office and was pretending you were reading about health, what you were really doing was having a fantasy about this cover girl. That would be Aimee.
Aimee had that universal look of innocence and in truth she was an innocent. At 18 she was still a virgin and had never committed a serious sin but she had plenty of girl friends who were just her opposite. They told her incredible stories of drinking alcohol, shop lifting and even sex in the back seats of cars and seedy motels. Aimee was not so innocent that she didn't fantasize about some of these activities but she had never had the nerve to actually act on any of them.
This hot summer day Aimee was bored and decided to go shopping at the mall. It would be cool inside and she wanted to look at some different colored watches to complement her various outfits. Because it was hot outside she decided to dress light so she slipped on a pair of her favorite white panties and a short cream colored cotton skirt and a bright pink cotton tank top. White socks and bright white athletic shoes. She often went without a bra because she didn't really need one to contain her firm perky 34 C breasts. She went light on the makeup for the same reason... she just didn't need much to accent her natural beauty.
A clerk has set out a tray of watches for her approval but was then called away by another customer who was returning a purchase. Aimee examined several watches and discovered they were exactly what she wanted but they were far more expensive than she had imagined. Suddenly she was overcome with the desire to have two of the watches but could only afford one so she slipped one in her purse and nervously agreed to buy the other when the clerk returned to her.
On the inside she was shaking like a leaf and shocked at her own behavior and if she had an opportunity to return the watch she would have but the clerk never left her alone again. So she paid for the one watch and strolled away from the jewelry counter and browsed through the clothing department trying to figure a way to give the watch back without embarrassing herself any further then she already felt.
Finally, unable to solve her problem she started for the door to the parking lot. She failed to notice a large black male security guard standing near the exit talking to one of the store's female employees. As Aimee stepped out the door both the security guard and the women followed her and the women took Aimee by the arm and said;
"Excuse me young lady would you mind showing me the watch you have in your purse that you failed to pay for?"
Aimee's heart was suddenly in her throat and was beating so fast she could hardly breathe, but she knew she was caught. The woman turned to the security guard and said;
"Take her into custody Gary." Turning to Aimee she said;
"Please go with Gary, he will escort you to the security office."
Trying to swallow her heart Aimee followed the big black guard named Gary and the women followed her deep into the interior of the store and down a flight of stairs and down a long hall to the back of the store to a door marked security. Aimee was becoming more frightened by the minute but felt she had no choice but to comply.
As she entered the door she saw two other security guards sitting at desks, one black and one Mexican. Both looked up at her as they entered. What she didn't notice was the women who had been following them didn't enter as the heavy door closed behind her and she could hear it lock. Suddenly she was alone with three male uniformed guards and was told to stand in front of one of the desks and empty her purse. As expected the watch with the price tag still attached spilled out on the desk.
The guard who had escorted her read her the law pertaining to shoplifting and explained she could spend a year in jail and/or a $5,000 fine. He explained that he was not inclined to call the police over a first time event but she would need to submit to a search for additional merchandise, pay a $200 store fine and sign a No Trespass Warrant forbidding her to ever shop at the Mall again. Then he was silent for a long moment to give her time to think about what he had said.
Aimee's mind was spinning. She could not allow herself to be arrested and end up in jail or cause her parents to pay a $5,000 fine. On the other hand she knew she didn't have any other merchandise to be found during a search. But, she didn't have $200 to pay a store fine either and it would be very embarrassing not to be able to shop at the Mall again. How could she explain this to her Mom and friends? Clearing her throat Aimee said;
"I don't have any other merchandise, but I don't have $200 either."
Gary said; "We can probably work something out for the fine, but the search is mandatory whether we call the police or not." So step over here please. Directing Aimee to stand next to an upside down U shaped bar mounted in front of the three sided mirror.
Gary said "Open your mouth and stick out your tongue please." "Let me see under your tongue."
Aimee did as she was told.
Gary Said; "Please remove those shoes and socks." Aimee was surprised and said "Why?"
Gary said; "Just do as you're told please Miss. You're not allowed to ask questions."
Aimee took off her shoes in a state of confusion and stood there in her bare feet.
At this point the other two guards walked over and stood watching her.
Gary said. Now the tank top please."
"I'm not taking off my top." Aimee sputtered in shock.
