The tingling feeling spread across my whole body as if being taken over control by an unknown source. Like a puppet on strings. I could feel what was coming next. I stopped and almost jumped from a small tap on my shoulder. It was Alice.

"Excuse me sir, the store will be closing shortly. Is there anyway I can help you find what you need?" Alice stated with a smile on her face and a small glitter in her eye.

"Sir?" Alice asked a little worried. I had to act fast I order for her not to get suspicious.
"Why yes, I am looking for a new cord for my Box-X. I said able to snap out of the awkward feeling.
"What year is it?" She said with a relaxed smile as if she had know anything and everything about these sorts of topics.
"It's a 2017 model" I replied knowing that was an old model causing her to think.
" That's pretty old. But I might have one in the back. I could go check if you would like?" She stated as if trying to think.
" I would appreciate that." I say with a fake smile watching her leave to that back. Now was my chance.
