Now he had to go all the way back to the other end of the mall.Eager to retrieve the pass before anyone else discovered it Dave darted off back in the...direction he had just arrived from.Just as the brash teen was about to disappear into the shuffling crowd he turned and shouted at the daydreaming Cindy, “You looked good naked!
