She put a finger on Christies exposed wrist, hoping to find a pulse. Mel stared at Christies chest, but there was no rise and fall. She felt stiff to the touch, and Mel yanked her hands back. She put a hand on each side of Christies face and patted her cheeks. But her pasty coloring alerted Mel that something was wrong, very wrong. For a nanosecond, Mel was sure Christie must have tripped and banged her head. Sure enough, Christie was sprawled as if shed fallen and had knocked herself out. She ran across the floor, ducking under gowns. Mel knew right away this was no mannequin that had toppled over. ![]() A leg, a very slim leg in black hose, wearing a Christian Louboutin platform pump with a bright red heel, was sticking out from under a hanging rack of evening gowns. ![]()
