Me: Hi Alex!!

Alex: Umm... Hi...

Me: GAHH!!!! I don't own you alright??? Are you happy now?? Just quit with the glaring!!!

Alex: Uh, okay. cough crazy cough.

20 minutes later…

"Is that her?" asked Jack while pointing to a girl in a pair of glittery pants.

"No. She's just wearing a regular shirt," replied Alex. "and one of those horrid Uncle Bob sweaters."

"Ugh!!!" screamed Jack. "That must be like the tenth girl wearing glittery pants today!" Jack seemed very frustrated. Alex smirked. "You know what? I'm going to go buy some more stuff. You go find her, you're supposed to be good at stuff like this."

Alex looked confused. "Huh? I'm supposed to be good at finding girls in glittery pants? What?"

"No! You're supposed to be good at tracking people down!" cried Jack. "How thick are you?"

Alex just rolled his eyes. "At least I'm not on crack…" mumbled Alex almost incoherently.

"I'll just pretend I didn't hear that, and I'll meet you back by the shoes in one hour." replied Jack hurriedly. She seemed to really want to leave Alex to his tracking, and go shop some more. "Bye!"

Alex sighed. Now that Jack was gone, Alex could resort to a little bit more unorthodox ways of finding the girl with the shoes.

15 minutes later…

Alex was in the security control room, and could see almost everything that was happening in Harrods. It was relatively easy to get in without being questioned too much. All Alex had to do was to bully a guard into giving him the security codes by showing him his MI6 ID, and telling him it was a top-secret mission.

Alex scanned the screens for any sight of a girl in glitter pants. He saw the girl with the horrible fashion taste from earlier trying on more horrid sweaters. Alex wondered if she was collecting crappy clothes or something. Then he saw Jack struggling to carry all of her shopping by herself. Now she knew how HE felt when he had to carry everything. Nope, she found a sales guy and made him carry her shopping. Alex almost felt sorry for him.

Finally! Alex caught sight of the girl with the shoes! She was in the makeup department and was trying on different shades of lip-gloss. As she was turning to leave, she bumped into a muscular man with a broken nose and a slight accent.

"Oops. Sorry," said the girl with an American accent. She sounded like she was from SoCal.

"That's okay," replied the man, although he looked kind of peeved.

Alex knew he was in trouble the moment he got a better view of the man speaking to the glittery pants girl, he grabbed his jacket and sprinted down to the makeup department, knocking down a few people on the way, earning a few dirty looks.

He knew he was in the right department as soon as he saw all the bright lights, the counters filled with makeup, and the salesgirls rushing up to you, asking if you'd like to try their new perfume, or in Alex's case, cologne.

"Excuse me," said Alex, trying to get pass a crowd of people in front of the mirrors, "pardon me."

Finally Alex had gotten pass the crowds of vain people trying to see if 'ruby red' lipstick or something equally as dumb, looked good on them, and caught sight of the girl in glittery pants. She was chatting with the man from earlier, giving him advice on what to buy.

For almost the first time, Alex wasn't sure what to do. He could either climb through the air vents, and use his yo-yo gadget to propel himself down to steal the shoes, or use a smoke bomb as a distraction so he could grab the shoes and run. No, these options would be too obvious; he had to do something that NOBODY would ever think to do. He had to ask politely for the shoes, and the girl would be so shocked that she would agree. Or at least, Alex hoped she would agree, and if that didn't work, he would be forced to get on his knees and beg, and that would be extremely embarrassing in front of the man that made 2 weeks of his life miserable.

Like it? It was longer than the last chapter... Can anyone guess who the man is? Review, and tell me if you can! Also, check out my other story, Evil or Good. I will update that one soon. Sorry it took so long. I had to change most of the plot because it just wasn't working. xD
