A scene from a movie

Cheri remembered a movie she had seen where a woman, dressed in a string bikini being arrested by a WPC at the home of a **** dealer. The woman had been innocent, so Cheri sympathised with her as the WPC easily overcame her struggles and cuffed her hands behind her back. The woman had complained that the cuffs hurt her wrists, but the WPC, believing her to be part of the **** gang had not been sympathetic.

Cheri had wondered what it would be like to feel so helpless, particularly as back at the police station the WPC had taken the woman off screen into a room for a strip search. The WPC had said that she could handle this on her own and Cheri had realized that the woman (she was now mentally putting herself in the woman's place) could be stripped without the WPC needing to remove the handcuffs. When they emerged from the room, the woman still cuffed, and dressed, or re-dressed in the bikini, they were told that the woman's innocence had been confirmed. The WPC offered to take the woman back to the WPC's flat in a patrol car and wait with her there until one for the girls in the woman's flatshare came home, and then take her home, as her clothes and handbag (with flat keys) would take some time to be released from the crime scene. The woman had promised not to press charges, and when she left the police station, and the film, with the WPC, she was still dressed only in her bikini, still had the cuffs around one wrist, and was holding hands in a friendly way with the WPC as they went out of the door.

Although she could not muster the strength to pull hard against her bonds, Cheri felt that, unlike the handcuffs in the film, they would not cut into her if she struggled, just hold her firmly, but irresistibly.
