>>2756019 [Ashore – Part 18]
Ami briefly thought about making her escape, and thought better of it. Even if she could find a way out of the woman's grip... there was no guarantee she could even get into her room. At least she'd be away from the couple and safe until the boat landed, and... well, where else was a naked girl likely to find clothes besides a lost and found? It actually offered her the most options... assuming all went smoothly.
She already felt her apprehension heighten as the two stopped at a small counter not far from the rooms, politely explaining what they'd found to the lone woman tending the counter. “We found these outside, someone tried to call for an 'Ami', but we didn't see anyone...”
“I see, well, we usually check with passengers before they depart, so I'll be sure to check when we arrive in an hour or so... just leave them here.”
The couple were more than happy to leave the phone and the 'doll' behind, and the woman went about idly documenting the two items in her checklist. “Property of, let's see...” She checked the phone, made one idle attempt at unlocking it, and being unsuccessful, went back.
“Ami, Ami...” With that name in mind, she began searching the register, all while the owner was lying still beside the paper, her arms left lazily crossed over herself, staring up restlessly at the ceiling. She didn't dare move, being completely out in the open. If she tried to move, the woman would notice immediately.
“Ah, here we are...” Before long, the clerk saw the uploaded picture, and did a double take. “She does look a little familiar...”
Ami felt her breath quickening. What would happen if the woman looked her way... and recognized her? The vessel was so close to arriving... if it wore off, she'd change back if the man kept his word, but... she'd also be naked, and in plain sight. Also, being recognized in her situation could be disastrous, especially if the clerk put two and two together.
