The tall red-haired woman took a slight step back as two liveried doormen pulled open the massive glass hotel doors. Her date dropped back behind her as several uniformed Dubai Policemen approached up the hotels’ gleaming marble stair.
“Heather West?”
“Yes?”
“Please come with us.”
Several of the officers stepped around her and arrested her date, roughly by the sound of things. He was shouting “I demand to know the charges!”
“Adultery sir, please come quietly…”
A camera flash went off and Heather thought she might lose her balance, or break a heel on the shining marble steps of The Legacy, one of Dubai’s most luxurious hotels.
Camera flashes continued as she made her way down, the officer held firmly onto her arm, above her elbow. It was everything she could do not to cry as he helped her into the car. She was surprised by how gentle he was.
