Chapter 12. An Improbable Twist
As Laurie ran out of the bank, a fat policeman grabbed her by the collar. “Got you!” he said.
“Why are you running? Did you rob the bank, too?”
“What? Who are you? Let me go!” Laurie yelled.
“I'm Officer Custody, and you are in big trouble,” the policeman said. “Lauren Ipsum, if that
is your real name, I arrest you on charges!”
“What charges? What are you talking about?”
“That doesn't matter!” Custody shouted in Laurie's ear, shaking her around. “Charges!”
“Ow! But what charges?” Laurie repeated. The officer's hold on her was painful. People on
the street were starting to point and stare. If there ever were a time Laurie wished she could
disappear like a Steganosaurus, it was now!
“You're going to be difficult? Let's do it nice and proper, if you insist!” Custody took out a
roll of paper and cleared his throat.
“Lauren Ipsum, you are hereby under arrest for Attempted Mythology, Counterfeiting Fair
Coins, two counts of Impersonating a Composer, Hacking in the Third Degree, and Miscel-
laneous Mopery with Intent to Creep!”
“Let me go! You're the creep!” Laurie tried to twist away, but his grip was too strong. Just
then, a shout rang out from the crowd.
Hey, Custody! Why are you beating up on little girls?
A tough-looking woman stepped forward to confront the policeman. She wore big boots,
black gloves, and an eyepatch in the shape of a heart.
“This isn't a girl, Losesome. This is a dangerous criminal! She broke through our perimeter
security,” Custody said.
“You mean Jane, that little old lady at the gate?” the woman asked.
