New Year's Day
Being confined to the prison's bullpen changed the course of events for Ally. Snogging the most dashing man she had ever seen at the club, she was having the time of her life. In the very next second, her companion plummeted face first from the bartender's counter. She dismissed it as a hallucination and gave it little thought. She made a concerted effort to wake Selina up as soon as people started to surround her. Then, as if Selina were a fragile princess, a guy appeared from behind Ally, snatched Selina up, and carried her away. Ally tried to run after the kidnapper and stop him, only to find herself captured and detained by the club's security. What transpired after that was a mystery to her. Now she was at the prison pen; why?
After a night in the bullpen with a group of convicted felons (or suspects, whatever you want to call them—they certainly earned it!), Ally finally came to. This is unacceptable. Ally reeked of intoxication and criminality. She was in desperate need of a shower and a change of clothes. Her curves were on full display in her tiny black dress, which had a sweetheart neckline and caught the eye of her other inmates. They were all women, which was a relief. Ally, who had just been embarrassed by her appearance on the bullpen floor, was attempting to collect herself as onlookers watched her.
A female officer came with a bunch of keys and unlocked the pen while calling the names of the detainees. "Selva Thiagarajan, Lim Kee Peng, Marina Ahmed, Ally Thorne, Bethany..." Ally heedlessly stood up, eagerly exiting the jail cell the moment she heard her name. The officer seized her arm and ordered them to queue up. She was led to the interrogation room, and a handsome officer was waiting for her with a dashing smile on his face. Horrified, it was the man she snogged yesterday!
