I walked into the Police Station like every other day. As a cops reporter, I knew the place and the people well. I was there for a story on the detective unit and didn't think much of it.
The public information officer scheduled an interview with Lieutenant John Reed and I was led into one of the interrogation rooms. I took a full tour of the station long ago, but had never really noticed how naturally intimidating these rooms were designed to be.
The mirrored glass reflected my tight red button-up shirt and my straight black pants. I wondered if anyone was on the other side watching me, but before I could try to look through it, the door opened abruptly behind me.
John motioned for me to sit down and he sat at the faded blue chair across from me. I started asking the questions and he politely answered without much detail.
I wanted color for the story and he just wasn't giving me any. All facts and stats make for a boring story so I wondered what I could do to move the interview in the right direction.
As a voluptuous 40D, I had grown accustomed to using my assets to my advantage. I coyly undid my top button revealing the tops of my milky white breasts. He glanced up and was obviously taken aback.
He adjusted himself in the padded chair and I began to grin. He started telling me more juicy details and the interview started turning in the direction I was hoping for.
Soon he told me the good, the bad and the ugly parts of his job. I asked what the hardest skill to perfect as an officer and almost as the last word crossed my cherry red lips, he was out of his chair and holding me against the wall of the ten by ten room.
My ball point pen had fallen to the grimy carpet floor aside my strappy black high heel and I was speechless. I was never expecting an innocent, albeit manipulative, exposure of my breasts to lead to this.
He firmly grabbed my wrists in his rough hands. He was holding them so tightly I felt my blood rush to my skin in anticipation of bruising. I held my breath because I was in such shock.
What had just happened? What was going to happen? How could this of happened?
