Valerie took a (1) furtive glance around her. When it seemed that no one was watching, she stuffed a blue shirt into the bottom of her purse and darted out of the women's department. She walked slowly around the shoe department for a while and then left the store.
"Stop! You stop?" shouted a guard, who seemed to appear from nowhere. Then another men in street clothes grabbed her purse and pulled out the shirt.
"But... but... it's not mine. I don't know how it got there," Valerie cried. The two men just looked at each other and laughed at the blatant lie. The guard said, "That's what all shoplifters say. People steal without taking time to (2) contemplate the possible results. Then when they're caught, they loudly (3) feign innocence".
As the guard began to phone the police, Valerie implored the men, "please don't press charges. Please. This is the first time I've ever done anything like this, and I'll never do it again."
The men laughed again. "Your argument is (4) pathetic," the men in street clothes sneered. "it's everyone's first time. Our store has a policy on shoplifters: It's mandatory for us to press charges, even if it's the first offense. We can't set a bad (5) precedent by letting a shoplifter go, as if we (6) condone (e)d such crimes."
"That's right," said the guard. "Shoplifting is all too prevalent in our store. This shirt costs twenty dollars, but the twenties add up. Our (7) fiscal officer reported a loss of about $150,000 worth of merchandise to shoplifters last year. So it simply isn't (8) feasible to let you walk away. Unfortunately, we have no choice but to take (9) punitive action."
Soon Valerie was led to the police car. She covered her face as other shoppers stopped to (10) gape at the lovely young woman, an unlikely-looking criminal.
