Chapter 51: Detained
"FEDERAL AGENTS! HANDS WERE WE CAN SEE THEM," yelled one of the armed men. Two men stood bracketing Jack and Madison on the couch while four more men rushed into the house. Two headed towards his kitchen and two headed towards his hallway.
As Jack and Madison stuck their hands in the air, two stern faced women, also wearing Federation Internal Security blazers with FIS in big bold white letters across the front, entered the house. In the background, Jack heard someone yell, "clear."
The two women walked towards them and each one grabbed one of Madison's arms and dragged her off him.
"Hey," Madison yelled, beginning to struggle, but Jack shook his head, then in his soul space he yelled, "Don't say anything, just cooperate. You don't want them adding resisting arrest charges just for spite."
Back in the physical world, Madison closed her mouth, nodded, then relaxed and let the two women drag her off Jack and up onto her feet. They pulled Madison's hands behind her and cuffed her, then turned her and started pushing her towards the front door.
"Are you really going to drag her out like that? Why not at least let he put on some clothes?"
"Shut it!" said the younger of two men, still pointing guns at Jack.
"What?" asked Jack. "Are you perverts or law enforcement officers? If you drag her out like that, are you going to add an indecent exposure charge just for fun?"
"I said shut it!" yelled the same younger man.
"No, he's right," said one of the woman. The two women stopped and asked Madison where she kept her clothes.
As Madison answered, the younger man said, "Stand, keep your hands where we can see them."
