Katie's eyes were wide and her painted mouth formed a little o of surprise. She wasn't horrified but rather disturbingly pleased by the idea. Of course, everyone fantasized about their customers getting killed - often plastic clothes hangers featured in her daydreams - but it never actually happened.

"Who died? What happened? Who are you looking for? How can I help?" she questioned quickly, before remembering herself and adding, "sir." It was too bad that a man had been the victim, Katie thought. She dealt with mostly women since being posted in the women's department and believed that a good 90% of her customers deserved to be randomly murdered.
