When the police arrived, Mina felt her heart begin to race. She did not like the fact that they immediately went to speak to the woman who was accusing her, without talking to the manager of the store first. One of the officers called Mina forward and she reluctantly obliged.
"If you didn't do anything wrong, why do you look so nervous?" the man asked, and Mina answered candidly.
"You have already decided who is right and who is wrong."
"Mina," Sadie shouted with wide eyes. She knew her sister was not trying to be disrespectful, but she had just accused a police officer of doing his job incorrectly.
"Open your bag," ordered the officer and Mina obliged. The woman who had called the police strutted forward and pointed to Mina's wallet.
"That, it is mine," the woman lied, and Mina felt her heart drop.
"She is lying. My mother made this for me for my birthday last year. Manager Lou, tell him," Mina pleaded.
