"Maybe next time, I'll make sure to have all the facts before involving you in a police matter," he said with a chuckle.
The officer hesitated for a moment before responding, "There's been a bit of a situation at the local park. It seems some pranksters decided to pull off a minor stunt, and eyewitnesses described a teenager matching your description lingering around the area. I need to ask you some questions."
Emma smiled, her heart still racing from the unexpected turn of events. "I'd appreciate that, Officer James."
The handcuffs clicked into place, and Emma couldn't deny feeling a bit cute with her hands cuffed behind her back, her long hair falling around her face. Officer James helped her into the back of the police car and drove her to the station.
