“You can’t do this to me!”

Despite the crime scene crawling with first responders – all here because of the woman who’d caused the accident – that same woman was thrashing her body about. Trying to break free from the handcuffs that pinned her wrists behind her back, she looked bewildered that anyone would dare put them on her. The officer held her fast, his jaw taut with a mixture of professionalism and disgust over what had happened. Olivia and Brock carried the same tension as they worked to gather what evidence they could from the crash and rope off the area for the safety of anyone else passing through. When the woman had wailed her protest over being arrested, Brock cast her a glance over his shoulder. Olivia could tell that he shared her same thought process.

If you hadn’t interfered, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

The woman looked so familiar and it wasn’t just from her following them around. Where had Olivia seen this woman before?

The fire department surrounded Brody’s destroyed vehicle, a sound like a jackhammer tapping harsh rhythms through the air as they worked to cut him out. Olivia cast a look back at them before looking back at the woman. Even after all of this, she still didn’t believe she’d done anything wrong and resisted arrest like this was their fault.

The arresting officer had the patience of a saint, as if the woman’s continued efforts to break free weren’t bothering him at all. In fact, he probably was used to it. “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you…”

“I know my rights!”

That poor arresting officer had his hands full with that one. Olivia puffed out a sigh and directed her attention back to the car. “Were you able to find anything else?” she asked Brock.

She barely had time to go over what little evidence she’d collected before the woman’s voice rang out. “Hey! Hey, you!”

Frowning, Olivia turned only to see that the woman was talking directly to her.

“Help me out, here!”

How polite. Olivia stepped toward her, guarding her face against the irritation mounting inside of her. “Are you aware of your rights?”

“Yes, I know my rights, but this can’t happen!” The woman shrieked. “I’m a very influential person!”

Influential. The word jarred Olivia’s memory and rather than asking the officer who he had identified her as, she blurted the name out. “Cindy McGuire?”

“See, even you recognize me!” Cindy yanked her shoulder, trying to jerk it from the officer’s grasp.

“Ma’am,” he said with trained calm. “I need you to calm down.”

“Can you tell this guy to let me go?” Cindy nodded her head backward at the officer. “This isn’t good for my views!”

The woman had caused a near-fatal accident, not to mention nearly causing several more as she chased them on the highway, and she was worried about her views? “I’m afraid we can’t do that.”

“But I haven’t done anything wrong!”

“You were interfering with an FBI investigation!” Olivia didn’t have time for this.
