Sienna's hands instinctively came up to shield herself.
The liquid cast an arc through the air as it seemed to fly in slow motion.
Sienna turned her face away, knowing that if it hit her hands, she would also be a goner.
A Teflon bowl the size of a frying pan intercepted the liquid mid air.
The acid was either deflected or scooped up into the bowl, while someone else pulled Sienna away.
A third person punched the assailant and wrestled him to the ground.
All of this happened in the matter of seconds.
"Sir, you're under arrest for attempted assualt," The police officer who had pinned the culprit to the ground informed him.
Handcuffs clinked as the man struggled and spewed profantities.
Shock was all over his face.
He had been told it was an easy job, just splash the acid on the woman's face, deliver the message and run!
How had he ended up getting arrested?
