Fred will go

"I can take good care of myself," Astra muttered, but was ignored.

"Fred," said Old Gek, "I am about to dock the store, and then you can walk out of this store and press the Multiversal Mall shortcut to the Starbucks on your wristband. You can then see the time, and come right back if you set up a personal favorite for this store. Do that now. This should mean that you only need less than one minute, but I will give you five. Five minutes. Please know that I installed something on your wristband that will let me know anything and everything you do. If you take too long or notify security or break our agreement in any way, I will most reluctantly have to kill the woman."

"I hear you," said Fred, with malice in his eyes. "I will abide by our agreement, fiend." Fred set up the personal favorite (one of the goblins had to help him), the store then docked, and Fred walked outside and vanished from the air.

"Now we will see how chivalrous that 'knight' really is," chuckled Old Gek.

1. Fred appears in front of the blank storefront where the Starbucks at the End of the Multiverse appears. The flashy countdown clock was at one and a half hours.
2. Velus has finally gotten the attention of customer service!
3. While the store front is active, a young couple walk in. Old Gek motions for Astra to follow him into the back rooms.
