There was police tape across the front of my mattress shop when I walked in on Wednesday morning. A police officer flagged me down as I approached. Her blonde hair was starting to poke out of the ponytail she'd put it in, and her face was lined with concern.
"Are you the manager?" she asked.
"Yes," I replied. "What's happened?"
"There's been a crime," she said. "I can't address the details while the investigation is ongoing. But if you could supply the password for your security camera system, it would help us greatly."
My heart had skipped. "Of course," I said. "Is everyone alright? Georgia, the girl who worked last night? Is she okay?"
Georgia Tibbs was the youngest of the girls who worked for me. She was friendly, if a bit sheltered thanks to her overly religious parents. There was extra money to be had in closing up the shop for the night, and she'd only been doing it for a couple of weeks. I was her manager but I often felt like she saw me as more of a bit sister, doling out chores and rewards.
To be honest, I did not see her as a little sister. She was a bit shorter than me, with a dark complexion, wavy reddish-brown hair, dark brown eyes, and a smattering of freckles. She was fairly skinny, but she had cute little breasts and one of the most attractive asses I'd seen in my extensive study of human asses. If she had ever expressed an interest in girls, I would have been all over her, no matter what her parents or MattressSoft said. But she hadn't, so I'd let her be.
The police officer hesitated, and I could see in her expression that everyone was not alright. "Miss Tibbs is not injured," she said. "I can't say more than that. But I'll need the password, and I'll need to ask you not to open the store today."
I nodded. I had a hundred questions, but I could see that I wasn't going to get many answers from the police at the moment. If I wanted the truth - and I did - I'd have to review the security camera footage myself once the police had gone home for the day. "Of course."

It was ten p.m. when I arrived at the store. Our half of the strip mall was mostly dark, with only a few cars in the parking lot. I parked to the side, away from my building, and walked carefully along the back, keeping my eye out for any observers.
I stepped inside through the back door. The shop was largely intact - there were no signs of fighting. There was police tape at the front, and they'd taken a mattress off of one of the display beds, but apart from that everything looked normal.
I sat down at my desk at the back of the store and pulled up the security logs. I started at seven, when Georgia's coworker finished and left her to close the store by herself. The resolution on the cameras was excellent, and I reminded myself that I wasn't there to ogle Georgia's butt.
I began skipping ahead. The store was dead; most of the times I skipped to had no customers at all. At nine-thirty she locked the door and started closing up. I frowned. How could anyone assault anyone else through a locked door?
I watched Georgia sit at her desk, facing the one where I sat, and begin to settle the paperwork. Then I gasped.
A figure had stepped out of the employees-only stock area and begun walking toward Georgia. The door was behind her, so she kept typing, oblivious, as the man walked up within a dozen paces of her.
He was tall and wiry, with blond hair and a short beard. He wore unlabeled sweatpants and a blank t-shirt. Georgia had turned off most of the lights, so he stood in partial shadow, eyes glinting as he watched Georgia work.
My heart was pounding, and my thoughts raced. Did this man know Georgia? How did he get in? Why was he watching her like this, and was he going to force himself on her?
I should have turned the recording off then. If I was right, then I'd already seen more than I had any right to see. Perhaps I was shocked into inaction. Perhaps.
She'd left her phone on one of the display beds nearby. He picked it up and powered it down before sliding it underneath the bedframe and resuming his vigil. He watched her, saying and doing nothing, for perhaps another minute before he acted. Calmly, he flicked the lights on in the back half of the store.
Georgia screamed, more out of surprise than fear, then leapt up when she turned and saw him. Her back was to me, and although I shouldn't have, I noticed once again how the black fabric of the MattressSoft uniform clung to her butt.
"Sir," she managed after a moment, "the store is closed. I apologize; I thought I'd locked up."
"You did," he said. "I'm not a customer; I'm here to help you."
Georgia looked confused, glancing around for her phone and looking up at the clock..
"What do you want to help with?" she asked.
"First, with a uniform check," he said. "I want to make sure you're not too straight-laced."
Georgia hesitated. Her phone was nowhere to be found, of course, and she couldn't run and use the office phone at the same time. Besides, he was standing between her and the only exit.
"What do you mean?" she asked, a bit of apprehension creeping into her voice.
"You start by turning around," the man said, "so I can make sure that your uniform fits you everywhere."
I knew, with absolute certainty, that I ought to stop the video right there. I could see where this was going, even if Georgia was still confused. The man wasn't going to stop with just a look.
