Alice left her panties in the school office after taking them off the masturbate while watching Charles fuck an unknown woman over the top of a desk. Molly found a pair of panties in the office the next morning, and has told Alice that she plans to share her find at the school Christmas party. The story continues as Alice and her husband drive to the party:
Alice was perspiring liberally as her husband drove them to the school holiday party, in spite of the cold. Thoughts raced through her mind, tinged with trepidation. Would Molly really go through with her threat to show everyone the panties she had found in the office? Alice had little doubt Molly would go through with it. Would her husband, Simon, recognize the cotton panties with the pink flowers? That was a real question. You never knew what a man would recognize. She kept trying to think of how she would explain, but she had no ideas. He was sure to think that she had been having sex with another man at the office. She felt a bit unsteady on her feet as they walked into the party and greeted the people she worked with.
Alice usually drank moderately, but she found herself constantly returning for a refill of her wine glass as the party progressed, while eating relatively lightly. She felt quite lightheaded by the gift exchange. Everyone gave a gift to one other employee, based on drawing names out of a hat. No more anonymous gifts: the scandalous gifts had put an end to that. Alice was beginning to think that the party would end without Molly causing any trouble, that she had been bluffing, when Molly tapped a fork on her glass, to get everyone's attention.
"Can I have your attention, please?" Molly called out. The room grew silent. Everyone knew that Molly was up to something. "As you know, the entertainment we used to enjoy is, um, no longer allowed. So, before you all leave, I thought it would be amusing to show you some of the items that were left in the office since school began in September. For example, this gameboy." She held up the popular hand-held computer toy. "One of the fathers, I better not say who, brought this to a PPT, and was playing with it while discussing his son's issues. Ms. B saw him playing with it during the meeting, reached across the table like he was a second grader, took it away from him, and said, 'This is not the time for that. If you want it back, come to my office after the meeting.' He never came back for it."
The teachers, many of whom were almost as intoxicated as Alice, laughed, picturing Ms. B treating a parent like a second grader. Everyone could see just how that would occur. Alice just forced a grin and pretended to laugh. Her insides felt like a clothes drier. She took another swallow of wine.
"I'll get in trouble if I show too much of this next item," Molly continued, "even though I'm sure everyone here has seen one of these somewhere along the line. This is something a kindergarten boy brought in for 'Show and Tell.'" She held up a folded- over magazine page, just enough so that her audience could see that it was a folded over centerfold page from a "men's magazine." Molly went on, "He said that it was his father's favorite picture. Ms. B. invited the father to come in to retrieve it, but he never did." The audience, which had seemed a bit nervous when Molly held up the picture, responded to that last line.
