Caught in the Act

When I heard that I was under arrest, I froze. I was thinking that this must be some sort of dream.

One of the police officers walked over to me. It turned out to be Sergeant Michaels.

"Mary?" Sergeant Michaels asked, surprised to see me in this situation.

"Hi, Sergeant Michaels," I said nervously.

"I never expected you to do something like this."

"Neither did I."

I saw my basketball teammates being led out in handcuffs. Just then, Sergeant Michaels put the cuffs on me. He read me my rights and led me out of the gym. When I looked back at the mess, I started to wonder what had possessed me to do something like that.

When we got outside, Sergeant Michaels had me go in the back seat and he got in the driver's seat. As we left the school, I realized that this wasn't a dream at all.


At the station, I was fingerprinted, had mug shots taken of me, and Sergeant Michaels got the information he needed from me. After that, he handed me the phone and I dialed my house.

"Hello?" my mom said.

"Mom, it's Mary," I said. "Sergeant Michaels has me in custody at the police station."

"What?! How did this happen?!"

"Some of my teammates and I vandalized the school gym and we got caught."

"What possessed you to do something like that?!"

"I'm wondering the same thing."

"Dad and I will come get you and we're going to have a talk about this!"

"Thanks, Mom."

"I love you, Mary."

"I love you, too, Mom."

I handed the phone to Sergeant Michaels and he hung it up. Then we headed for the holding cells.

When we got to the holding cells, Sergeant Michaels had me go into a cell where a couple of my teammates were. I sat on the bench, looked down, heard the bars slam shut, Sergeant Michaels walking away, and waited for my parents to arrive.

The End
