Getting Cuffed
Thinking that Mark, a mild-mannered engineer who had always followed the rules, was simply trying to put the blame on someone else, the two police officers swiftly cuffed him. The metallic sound of the handcuffs clicking sent waves of confusion through Mark’s mind as he found himself unexpectedly being the one apprehended.
He stood there, his heart pounding, desperately wanting to call out for Patricia, his wife, or his two young sons, but before he could utter a word, he was swiftly taken away, leaving behind nothing but questions and a bewildered family.
A Police Cruiser
As he was being taken away, one of the officers, a tall, stern-looking man with a grizzled beard, began to recite the Miranda Rights that Mark had only ever heard in movies: “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.” The weight of those words echoed in his head, reverberating through his thoughts like a thunderstorm. At that moment, reality crashed down around him, engulfing him in a wave of disbelief and bewilderment.
