"I said, 'No,'" Valerie repeated, her voice dropping an octave, taking on the authoritative cadence that usually commanded rooms full of four-star generals. "You do not have a warrant. You do not have probable cause, and I do not consent to a search of my property. My bag has already passed through the X-ray scanner. You have no legal jurisdiction to search it."Hayes's face flushed a deep, violent crimson. The veins in his neck bulged against his collar. This wasn't how the script was supposed to go: she was supposed to cower; she was supposed to beg."You think you know the law?" Hayes hissed, grabbing Valerie roughly by the bicep. "You're in my airport now. Let's go to the back. We're going to have a little chat about respect."Valerie could have resisted. She had extensive hand-to-hand combat training from her time at Quantico; she could have dropped Hayes to the linoleum floor in three seconds, fracturing his wrist in the process. But she let him drag her. She let him pull her away from the public eye, down a sterile, white-tiled corridor designated for airport staff and secondary security screenings.
