Myrna didn't understand what was happening. Why was she being pulled from Brian's steady and comforting embrace? Why were two police officers wrestling Brian to the floor and handcuffing him? Why had they let Jeremy walk casually out of the apartment?
"What is going on?" she screamed.
"It's okay, ma'am. We've got him," one of the police officers said, and then he started to recite Miranda rights to Brian.
"Why are you arresting my boyfriend?"
The two cops looked at her in confusion.
"I'm not the guy you're looking for," Brian said, still face-down on the floor. "You let him get away."
The officers looked at Myrna as if they didn't believe what Brian was saying and needed her verification to proceed.
"That's Brian Sinclair, not Jeremy Condaroy," Myrna said. "Jeremy is a tall, prudish, blond man."
