The first things Nadine bought with a stolen credit card were always gift cards. It consolidated a lot of suspicious purchases into a single large, slightly suspect purchase. All-purpose prepaid cards made life so much easier. But a few more specific kinds never went amiss. After that, department stores, the kind that sold clothes as well as appliances. Made it easy to pretend she was a man buying a fridge instead of a woman buying cute outfits. And a big ol' purse to carry everything after she'd left, of course.
It wasn't until she got to store number three for makeup that the card got declined. Goodness, but he'd caught on fast. Then again, she'd been shopping a while, hours spent browsing through racks of clothes and boxes of shoes. And cell phone charms. She sighed and paid for her purchases with a gift card.
Walking through the mall, she snapped Grayson's credit card in half and tossed it in the trash. They'd be sending him a new one, anyway.
Nadine found a lonely bathroom in one of the less-used corners of the mall, furthest from the food court and the movie theatre. Nothing but sad little stores, soon to be replaced by other sad little stores. People trying to make a career out of their love of overpriced Barbies or wooden beads. It meant at least a modicum of privacy as she changed, tossed her old clothes in the garbage as she put on new ones.
Her cute cop encounter had left her in a kitteny sort of mood, so she'd bought a sweater in pink with a cute little cat face. Pink socks and fluffy pink panties to match – even though she was the only one who knew about those. She offset it with a grey skirt and grey heels, and she thought the overall effect was... coquettish? Maybe. She pulled her hair into a loose updo held together with fake white roses, considering herself in the mirror. She'd slowly been peeling off her fake fingernails as the day wore on, and so now she replaced them with a new set in pink.
Cheap plastic fingernails were such a lovely invention.
She dug through her newly acquired makeup, bent over the bathroom counter so she'd be closer to the mirror. She sang quietly to herself as she fixed up her face, hips swaying in a way that should have had a poor impact on her precision.
"… des ronds avec ton bassin, des ronds avec ton bassin…"
