Arianne stayed at home for the rest of the day, half expecting the police to arrive at her door at any moment. After an uneventful afternoon, she decided to turn on the local news. She was shocked to see that the events at the drugstore were being featured. The news station had obtained footage shot by the dash-mounted camera in the police car.
“Stop right there or I will shoot you!” she heard the police officer shouting. Her response was inaudible, but the video was quite clear. Arianne watched herself raising the gun, then she disappeared. The Taser leads fell harmlessly, a few feet beyond where Arianne had stood a split second before as the gun clattered to the ground.
“What you have just witnessed is real; this video has not been altered in any way.” the newscaster reassured the viewers. “Authorities are baffled by this occurrence. Anyone with any information is urged to come forward.”
After a few more comments, the station showed video of an eyewitness account. Arianne was shocked to see the thief from the drugstore. “Somebody like that ain't natural; they gotta catch her before she kills someone!” He continued his rant. “You just let me have a go at her; she won't bother nobody again!”
The newscaster returned; a close up shot of Arianne appeared on the screen beside her. “This is a photo of the woman the police are searching for. If you recognize this woman, please contact the police immediately.”
Arianne turned off the TV and sat down. She had no idea what to think of the days events.
