"Miss Patricia Miller?"

Patricia and Shawn studied the approaching officers from their side. Slowly, they turned to face the two officers, clear puzzlement on their faces.

At the same time, Teddy stopped in his tracks and turned toward them. His brows furrowed as soon as he saw the officers standing before those two care bears.

"What's going on here?" Patricia asked, studying their faces. "What do you want from me?"

Upon hearing that, Patricia quickly took a step back. "What? What incident?"

"There was an attack on Miss Cassandra Smith last night. During our initial investigation, we discovered an unprovoked attack on her some time ago in a restaurant," the officer explained. "We need you to come in for questioning."

"I don't want to!"

"Don't force us to take you in."

"Why do I have to go to the station?! I didn't do it!" Patricia's voice rose. "I'm not going anywhere! You can't force me! I have my rights-"
