The little bell above the door sang its cheerful song as the girls walked into "Jimmy's General Store"; Est. 1897, thank you very much. The place smelled like a Christmas tree had sex with a breakfast table on a bed of freshly-treated leather; its shelves and isles neatly stocked with everything you could ever ask for. Tools, magazines, cereal, motor oil, candy, work gloves, soup-- you name it. If you were looking for something, chances are Jimmy's had it. Oddly enough, the kind old man himself was nowhere to be found. Tiffany was rummaging through a basket full of colorful scrunchies and Audrey was checking out the latest issue of Howard the Duck, when Stephanie noticed something; a crudely-written note on the counter by the register...

BaCk sooN
She didn't think much of it, Jimmy was a thousand yeas old. The man had arthritis, tendinitis and a bunch of other -itises; calligraphy was definitely not one of his strengths.
"Guys, guys! We're in luck!" Stephanie flashed the piece of paper in front of their faces. "Let's get the wine coolers and hit the road before anyone sees us."
Audrey strolled over to the display chiller and returned with a six-pack of "Peterson's Finest - Strawberry Delight"; 7.5% alcohol. "That'll be $3.75."
"So... who's paying?" Stephanie asked.
"Don't look at me, I made a buck and a quarter in tips today." Audrey said.
"Um, I maybe sorta kinda spent a total of three weeks' allowance on this dress..." Tiffany blushed.
"I hate you, guys." Stephanie tossed the money on the counter and turned to Audrey. "Didja have to get the name brand?"
"You know Amber. She wouldn't even flush her toilet with the generic stuff."
"Hate to admit it, but she's got a point." Tiffany said.
On their way out, Stephanie saw a rack of flashlights and medi kits, and paused for a second. Sherriff Campbell was a 'safety first' type of guy, and the apple hadn't fallen all that far from the tree. Always wary of sudden power outages and unexpected injuries, Stephanie stared at the rack for a moment. She had ten bucks left. The flashlights were priced at $4.75 -batteries not included- and the medi kits were $7.25 each. A four-pack of D batteries would set her back $3.25. She could either get a flashlight and batteries, or a medi kit.
"Hmm..."
