She claims Mackenzie is an ex of hers.

"...she and I used to date." Rachel explained in a quiet voice. "Then I found out she was seeing someone behind my back, so I broke things off. Now, well... I guess she thinks she can try to seduce me back into a relationship with some kind of romantic gesture?"

The cop listened to Rachel's tall tale, nodding along. Eventually she sighed and glanced over to Mackenzie once more. "Guilty ex, huh? Been there before, so I can sympathize with how this must feel for you. They betray your trust, then think they can win you back with some stupid stunt..."

Her complaints fell on deaf ears as the cop opened the back door of the cruiser and none too gently pushed Mackenzie inside. Slamming the door shut, the officer climbed into the driver's seat and started the car. Mackenzie looked out the window towards Rachel's house, seeing the other woman heading to her own car. Was Rachel going to follow them to the station?

"Please, please, you can't take me to the police station like this!" Mackenzie begged once more.

The cop merely looked in the rear-view mirror and replied-
