~ Currently like a game, we each went into a different direction. Trying to find dresses for Cory's sisters to wear at this wedding, I have no desire to have. Nonetheless, I still played along and went to the back of the building looking, through the dresses on this rack display. When I went to walk elsewhere, I looked up to find a back door.
Oh, indeed I was stunned in disbelief when I read the sign across the door says egress right on it. It couldn't possibly be that easy? But I looked around and saw no one nearby. I took the tracker out of me and I'm in a shopping plaza town. This could be my one chance for freedom. There's no way Cory could find me! I mean what are the odds that I took the tracker out of my body. On the same day, I find a chance to escape. It's like fate had finally granted me a new pathway. Therefore, I need to go for it! I'll never have to marry Cory! I'll be happily free!
Without stalling, I walked to the door, before opening it. I peeked around one more time from behind me in every direction. Then quickly pushed the door open and was outside. Only hearing the door snapping shut from behind.
Instantly, the light breeze hits my face and the warm sun rays glittered onto my skin. It was so easy! First waking out of my daze, I hurried up and ran far away from the shopping center. Still wearing these beautiful heels but I just ran away as fast as I could.
Only hearing... click, click, click... from my heels.

A few minutes passed and Violet tried to look for Sally but couldn't find her. But it's a big store so she could be anywhere, she thought.
She ended up wandering into Kimberly and asked, "We're supposed to meet in the middle but where's Sally at?"
"I was just coming now but I haven't seen Sally," Kimberly said confused.
"Ok," Violet suggested. "Let's browse around. She might be with Ashley."
Without delaying, Kimberly nodded and
they both started to look together. Until they eventually ran into Ashley shopping. But noticed Sally wasn't with her.
"Have you seen, Sally?" Asked Kimberly, "We been looking for her but she's nowhere."
Less concerned, Ashley said, "I saw her walk passed the dressing rooms again, maybe she's in there."
So Kimberly walked into the dressing rooms and quickly checked but frantically came back out and said. "She's not in there either!"
Without playing around they went back to the front of the store where their husbands and bodyguards were keeping an eye on the front.
Seeing the women walking their way in a hurry. "Are you ladies already done and where is Sally?" Chris asked.
In a worried tone, Kimberly exclaimed. "We can't find her! We've searched all over the store. That's why we came up here to see if you guys have seen her since you're keeping watch."
Puzzled, Kaiser said, "She hasn't been upfront. She's been in the back with you ladies." Kaiser looked at his men standing beside him. "Go look for Sally and see if she's hiding somewhere. She couldn't possibly escape."
"Yes, sir!" The men replied.
At the entrance Kaiser, Dominic, and Chris looked around the gowns seeing if she was hiding somewhere waiting for an opening to leave. Meanwhile, Kimberly, Violet, and Ashley started to get scared while looking around with their husbands but saw no sight of her.
"We need to find her it's not safe for her to be alone out here. What if a scavenger finds her before we do?" In a worried tone, Violet said, walking up to her husband.
More mellow facing his worried wife, Kaiser reassured her. "It's okay, we will find her. I'm sure she's just in the store hiding behind one of these gowns."
However, after his statement his three bodyguards also being his close friends.
Came back and the one guard reported to Kaiser. "In the very back, we found an egress door."
"Did you find her?" Asked Kaiser.
The second guard confirmed, "She's nowhere to be found we have checked everywhere but we're still looking."
Two more bodyguards came back and reported, "We checked this whole left side of the store and found no sight of her."
"Let's spread out and thoroughly check the whole store," Kaiser ordered.
They spread out doing just that. Then met back at the front area. The three sisters were shaken and scared for Sally.
"She's not in this store," Dominic confirmed.
"It's time to call Cory, the sooner we tell him. The better chance we have in getting her back safely." Sighing Kaiser took out his phone from his pocket and dialed for Cory. A few rings passed into his ear, as he stepped away from his wife and sisters to hide from around some gowns.
"What's up?" Cory answered.
Calmly, Kaiser informed him what happened, "Sally ran off. We checked the whole store but she's nowhere inside. My one-man told me there's a back door to this place. We weren't aware there was a back egress. She must have used it and escaped."
Sighing, Cory exclaimed, "Maybe Maria should have gone shopping with her. She behaved herself yesterday."
"Hum, possibly," Kaiser said humming.
"I'm sending Nick and the men in his division. The trail is warm now we should be able to find her before a scavenger does." Said Cory.
"We're going to take a walk outside and see if we spot her," Kaiser told.
Cory agreed, "Yes, I'd do that."
