Upon arrival at work at 8:50am, Steven decided to plan things out. He wasn't due to finish work while after Alexa that day, but that wouldn't do. He knew he'd be missed if he just disappeared off his section at the same time as Alexa finished work. "Liz, um... can I ask a favor please?" Steven asked his supervisor and friend as he approached her behind the customer service desk.
"Sure thing, what's up?" Liz smiled up at Steven.
Making up an excuse as to why he would have to finish early, Steven then offered to work later another day to make his hours up. After a little thought, Liz agreed to let Steven finish at 12:30pm that afternoon. That was half an hour before Alexa was to finish her shift. "Thanks Liz, you're a life saver." Steven sighed in relief, before swiftly turning around and making his way upstairs to the tea room to have a quick coffee.
While he was sat in there, Steven glanced around at the three other people in the room with him. The first was Rob, whom Steven paid little attention to, as a fellow male staff member. Then he looked over at Natalie, who was busy sending a text on her phone to her fiance Mike no doubt. And then came Kiran, one of the girls from the Parkgate store, who was also doing something on her phone. Steven admired the petite brunette as he sat there, and his mind wandered back to his new 'toy', currently hidden in his Wilko fleece pocket. The idea that he could somehow cram his 6' frame into Kiran's (for example) barely 5' tall body was amazing. He had trouble wrapping his head around it to be honest. But Jake had assured him that the gun worked.
10 minutes after arriving, Steven and the others in the room started their shifts, and when Steven walked onto the shop floor downstairs, one of the first people he saw was Alexa, his would-be 'test subject'. She was having a chat with Liz behind the help desk, looking her usual 'exotic' self. Steven's eyes wandered over her curvy body in her Wilko uniform as he passed, hoping... that those curves would soon be his.

Focusing on work proved understandably difficult for Steven that morning, but he somehow managed to wade through it, and it was soon 12:23pm, just seven minutes before the end of his shift. He still didn't know how he was going to do the deed, or where. He figured he'd just wait in ambush outside the girls toilets, in the locker room perhaps? He'd brought a rucksack big enough for the task, he hoped (he didn't know how much room a supposed deflated skin and some clothes would take up).
Steven continued thinking up a possible plan, ven as he wrapped up his work and started heading upstairs. Since Alexa didn't finish her shift while 1:00pm, he knew he had some time to play with.
