Victoria turned her head slightly.
Her expression wasn't frightened.
It was serious.
“Are you sure you want to continue?”
The officer laughed.
“Is that supposed to scare me?”
“No,” Victoria replied. “It's a warning.”
The second officer looked at her suspiciously.
“A warning about what?”
Victoria took a slow breath.
“You've detained me without explaining the legal reason. You've used unnecessary force, and you haven't completed any paperwork. I'm telling you now that this could become a serious problem for you.”
For a moment, neither officer spoke.
Then the first officer shook his head.
“We'll deal with that later.”
Victoria looked down at the handcuffs.
She understood that arguing with them physically would only make the situation worse.
So she stopped talking.
The officers seemed to interpret her silence as surrender.
But they had badly underestimated her.
Victoria stood still for several seconds.
Then she said something that immediately changed the atmosphere.
