“Barbara Lin, you’re under arrest for felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon,” the detective said, his voice carrying off the vaulted ceilings.

“What is the meaning of this?” Barbara screeched as two officers pulled her arms behind her back. The cuffs clicked shut. “Get your hands off me! I am the lady of this house!

My daughter-in-law is a doctor!”

“Yeah — we saw the video of what you did to the doctor,” one of the cops said, reading her rights as they walked her barefoot toward the cruiser.

David rushed to the doorway, sweating. “Officer, wait, there’s a misunderstanding! My wife is just hysterical, she’s overworked, it was an accident!”

Before he could take another step, a man in a gray suit stepped out from behind the police line and pressed a thick stack of manila folders into David’s chest.
