It had been had enough that her would-be-client had bailed on her. Worse when the meter maid ticketed her car afterward. Appalling when she had been nominated to baby-sit a cat. Now it was down right abominable being shoved into a squad car and ushered into the KPD in a wet robe and towel.
"My name is Brynn Carlson."
A wary officer held up his hand, "May I have proof of identification please?"
She clenched her teeth, "Sorry, I left my wallet in my other bathrobe."
Rolling his eyes, he nodded to the phone, "Can you call anyone and get them to verify who you are?"
Nodding sharply, she marched towards it. With a head for numbers, Brynn was able to remember her phone card number as well as several others.
And when her sister picked up their home phone, she was ready to commit murder and deserve to be there. "You wanna tell me why you were nowhere around and weren't answering the door when I was picked up by two officers, Brandy?" She asked with forced calmness.
Her sister giggled and she could feel a vein start throbbing in her brain. Great, a migraine was coming on, and of course, she was without medicine.
"I was looking for Chris' cat." She giggled again. "Found him too. Silly thing, it was sleeping in my room the whole time."
nbsp; "You wanna come get me now, Brandy." Brynn gritted out harshly. "Cause I'd like to come home now, but because I don't have identification on me, and no one was around to prove who I was, I was arrested!"
Brandy giggled once more, and Brynn silently threatened to rip out her sister's larynx.
"Now, Brandy. Or daddy and I are gonna have a long talk about that school in Switzerland you soooooo love."
A quick promise was made to come get her, before the phone line went dead.
Groaning, Brynn slammed down her receiver and glared at the officers gaping at her.
As tactfully as she could, drawing on all the lessons drummed into her head in the tedious finishing school she went to as a teenager, Brynn sat down on the wooden bench with care and grace, crossed her ankles perfectly, and made sure her robe was settled respectfully about her.
Then, folding her hands on her lap, she waited patiently with a regal air. Ignoring her avid audience.
Someone was definitely gonna pay for today.
