Jack Thompson was a man approaching 40 fast. He was still in good shape, working out regularly, keeping the physique he'd built as an MP in the Army. Standing almost 6 feet tall, his brown eyes and salt-and-pepper full head of hair belied his true nature. He had an unassuming look about him, but the fact was that he loved his job as store detective just a little too much. He had an almost warped sense of duty and justice, and he truly relished watching people squirm as they got caught.
Jack had seen shoplifters in all shapes and sizes through the years. He'd developed an instinct, a sixth sense in spotting people looking for five-fingered discounts. More often than not it was their demeanor that earned his interest. They snuck about with flitting eyes and lingered way too long at some stands, waiting for the staff to look the other way. They might as well carry billboards reading I'm gonna shoplift! around their necks as far as Jack was concerned.
Today wasn't any different. He'd picked up the scent of a pretty young woman who, with many a furtive glance, headed for the lingerie department of the department store. Jack sighed. What was it with women and lingerie? Were they too embarassed to purchase sexy clothing? He'd never gotten an answer, as women more often than not broke down and cried when they got caught. Oh, what will my husband/lover/mother/father/parole officer think? He'd heard every excuse and lamentation. He never flinched.
Yup, she'd definitely removed an alarm and stuffed some very sexy and expensive lingerie away. He moved in and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Jack Thompson ma'am. Store detective. Could you come with me please?"
