"Bribe is not funny, it's a crime." Jane frowned. "But I'll pretend I did not hear that, since you're already in a big trouble. That wall might not seem like a serious thing to you, but there are morein yourpersonal file, including cases of avoiding arrest, not paying penalties and so on. And all together that might pretty much lead you to actual court; and from there - maybe even to jail. If it's true that you've knocked out officer Smithson, it'll be definetly jail." The police woman exaggerrated, but not too much; those who repeated their crimes, even minor ones, were treated much more strictly by judical system.
Jane grabbed girl's arm above the elbow - not too roughly, but firmly enough to prevent her escape. She felt a sympathy to that girl, since Alice did npt do anything really bad and seemed to be just very badlybrought up. What girl would voluntarily make herself look like that? obviously she was just misguided.
"Listen, Alice... I can either drive you to police station and they'll see what to do to you... Or I can forget that I am police officer for a moment... but in that case you should promise that you'll allow me to help you and that you'll listen to me." Jane offered in the most friendly tone.
