Escaping the library

The quickest way back to the precinct was to walk straight out into the main hall of the library, out the front door and into the street.

Obviously, that was off the table. New York City police officers didn't show off their underwear to rooms full of people with cell phone cameras. It would be all over the internet in minutes. Jake would see it. Captain Holt would see it. The firefighters would see it. Every crook she'd ever put away would see it. Amy knew she'd never live it down.

But she wasn't going to let Rosa win.

She crouched behind the bookshelf, trying not to breath too loud. The air felt cool on her bare thighs. Any minute now, a librarian was going to walk up to the shelf, and catch her without her pants, and then she'd be in so much trouble...

No. This was no time to worry about getting in trouble. She had to focus on the situation at hand. She knew there was a way out of this.

She took a deep breath. This was a puzzle. And if there was one thing Amy Santiago could handle, it was puzzles. Really, when you thought about it, the situation was completely under control.

She couldn't go out the front door. But maybe that wasn't the only way to escape.
