Naia took a deep breath. One, to steady herself after an exhausting exercise. Second, to collect her thoughts.
She really didn't want to be involved with law enforcement right now!
When she felt the metallic handcuff lock in her arms, her eyes twitched.
"Could police officers really apprehend civilians so roughly?" she asked, tutting. "Count me disillusioned."
"You attacked a police officer," the voice, baritone and straight to the point, responded. "You can be charged with direct assault against law enforcement."
After a pause, he added, "This transgression can land you 6 months to 6 years in correctional prison." As if to ensure she knew the gravity of her crime.
"Tsk."
He stretched his hands to hold her shoulders because he had to make sure she didn't run or make any sudden movements. He explained this to her, lest she misunderstand.
She was indeed the one who attacked first. In retrospect, he was probably just trying to grab her attention.
