The second time they came, they had warrants: one for the search, one for my arrest. Spread-eagled against the wall, getting the pat-down and the Miranda warning, I watched out of the corner of my eye as they made an utter bollocks out of my nicely-organized filing system. I'd spent two hours that very morning alphabetising the top desk drawer, and now here they were emptying it out without so much as a by-your-leave. It would take me far more than two hours to set it back right, I could tell you. And after all my careful effort I knew the contents of that drawer as well as I knew the back of the hands that were now being cuffed behind me... so I knew the folder they were making a fuss over hadn't been in there before they walked in. This was turning out to be a right mess.
