Our first stop was the Food Court. It was very crowded at 7:30 pm on Saturday, January 17, 2009. We chose a table in the midst of a sea of American consumers. We sat and casually conversed over a “sum of money” which Lindsey owed Sterling.

After a short while, we left our table to peruse to food options, careful to leave behind…the clutch. We observed the effects through casual glances through our peripheral vision, noting a couple staring intently at our abandoned object. We tried hard to act oblivious and continued to distance ourselves from the clutch.
