Chapter One
You’re not going to that place again, are you?
Thomas asked, furrowing his brow. Amanda turned and faced him, nodding.
Yes, I’ll be going there, it’s my favorite place to shop.
Thomas shook his head, and huffed.
The way they treat customers, and have treated you in the past…I wouldn’t go there ever again - I wouldn’t touch them even with a ten foot pole,
Thomas said.
Amanda smiled at him, and touched his arm, to which Thomas grinned.
Dear brother, they can’t stop me from shopping there, no matter how snooty they are. There are some good people in that place, after all,
Amanda said.
Thomas’ brown eyes popped out.
Yeah, oh yes dearheart, but where are they? Afraid they’ll rock the apple cart by being friendly to people?
Thomas said, howling in laughter, as Amanda rolled her eyes.
Apart from that woman and the security guard who lurks around her, they’re generally okay,
Amanda said.
Thomas stopped laughing, face immediately becoming hard, lines appearing on his forehead.
Seems like she and her bunch are not the exception rather the rule; remember what you told me about her and him?
Thomas said.
Oh, that,
Amanda said, a naughty grin filling her face. So much for customers not overhearing things,
Amanda said, as Thomas nodded. Admitting she and that guard were having an affair, doing it wherever they could in the store - in the storeroom, in offices…
Amanda said, closing her eyes in disgust. Yeech.
Yeech isn’t the word, more like super-yuck, eek, oh, I can feel myself vomiting, get me a bag,
Thomas said, covering his mouth.
You’re right Thomas,
Amanda said, raising her eyebrow. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Thanks,
Thomas said, smiling brightly, but then his lips suddenly became severe. If I were you I wouldn’t go there again, there are other stores you could go to.
But it has what I love to buy; you know what women are like with these things,
Amanda said, winking at him.
I know, without shopping you’d be a spineless jellyfish,
Thomas said, as Amanda opened her mouth, and bopped him on the arm.
Thomas!
Amanda said, as Thomas giggled.
You know I don’t mean that; you’re the best sis I have - the only sister I have,
Thomas said, as Amanda chortled.
Thanks, and this sister’s about to go shopping whatever will happen,
Amanda said, raising the strap on her handbag, raising it up her shoulder. She moved to the door, and turned to Thomas.
I’ve got some things to do in the office and will be back in a few hours. Happy shopping Amanda, see you later on,
Thomas said, as Amanda threw him a smile, gripping the door handle, and heading out to the garage. After Amanda closed the door Thomas pursed his lips, and sighed. I hope it’s a good shopping trip for you sis, I really do,
Thomas said, a worried feeling settling into his stomach.

Magda was in the garment storeroom, door locked, and standing across from Bellamy, the security guard. She ogled him with passion, eyes pouring on his chest, and he did likewise to her. They were surrounded by aluminum clothes rails, the
