The Elevator Forty-Fourth Floor (Patreon)

Cardonali the magical imp was doing what he always did, he caused   trouble to others for his own amusement.  Cardonali had the ability to   put any thought into a person's mind and manipulate them as he wanted   to.  He stood unobserved or at least unacknowledged in the back of an   elevator waiting to see who would get in.

Rose Sayer,  a middle-aged woman with curly red hair wearing a white t-shirt, jeans, and flats, entered the elevator.  She was followed immediately by Scott Ortega a college student who was wearing a purple v-neck t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers.

The pair knew each other as neighbors, but not very well.  They put forced smiles on their faces while waiting for the elevator to take them to the lobby.  That is when Cardonali did his work.

By the time the elevator reached the lobby, both Rose and Scott were very anxious.  Scott exited the elevator, but he didn't know what to do.  Ms. Sayer didn't leave, she returned to her apartment to write a note.  She then took the note and tacked it to the bulletin board in the laundry.

A day later, Scott was at Mrs. Sayer's door, he was carrying the note.  He showed it to her.

"I don't know how this could have happened," Mrs. Sayer told Scott as she let him into the apartment.  "You don't know how embarrassed I am."

Mr. Sayer saw the pair at the door.  "What is this?" he asked.

"It's nothing dear.  I just have something that belongs to him.  We sort of switched packages," Mrs. Sayer didn't want to explain what she had of Scott's.  Or worse what Scott has of hers.

"OK, as long as you're up.  Can you get me a beer?"

"Just a minute."

"Fine."

The pair adjourned to Mrs. Sayer's bedroom.  She went to her lingerie drawer and opened it up.  She pulled out a pair of grey with a rose print boyshorts.  "Are these yours?"

"Yeah, they are mine," Scott recognized them instantly.  It was a new pair that he might have only worn once or twice, but they were definitely his."

Scott came closer and could see the drawer full of panties and bras.  There was also some shapewear in the drawer too.  "They are all mine."

"Well, there isn't anything to do but get you a bag or something for you to take them home."

"I guess.  I'll bring your lingerie back to you too."  By this, he meant the men's briefs, boxers, and undershirts he had in his drawers.  He didn't have nearly as many items as she had.

"OK."

"I'd like to thank you for taking good care of my stuff.  You have them all nice and folded."

"No problem..."

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" Mr. Sayer bellowed.  he didn't like his wife showing her undies to some boy.

Mr. Sayer was bigger than Scott, but Scott was in better shape.  The police and an ambulance were called.  Mr. Sayer got the worst of it.  But Scott was the one arrested.  No one believed Mrs. Sayer's and Scott's story 

Of course, to leave the building everyone had to take the elevator that was inhabited by Cardonali.
