“Put that away.”
Victoria looked at him.
“Are you sure you want to do this?”
The taller officer laughed.
“You think you’re going to scare us?”
“No,” she said quietly. “But I think you should know exactly who you’re dealing with.”
The officer rolled his eyes.
Then Victoria spoke again.
“Please reach into the right pocket of my shorts. I can’t get to it with my hands behind my back.”
The two officers exchanged confused glances.
“What do you have in there?” the taller one asked.
“You’ll know when you see it.”
He reached into her pocket.
His fingers touched a small leather wallet.
He pulled it out.
Then he opened it.
The man’s entire expression changed.
His partner leaned closer.
A second later, both officers froze.
