Chapter 4: Climax
The doorknob to Jenny's apartment turns. The police officer she called earlier is about to walk in on Carl having his way with his tenant Jenny, who is bent over her couch. Her eyes widen as she prays for a miracle.
Carl's grip on her loosens as he too realizes the danger of their situation. He pulls out just as the door swings open, revealing Officer Thompson.

Jenny turns her head and sees the policeman, his face a mask of shock at the scene before him. She tries to cover herself, her hands shaking as she wraps them around her chest.
"What the fuck is going on here?" Officer Thompson demands, eyes narrowed at Carl, who quickly moves away from Jenny and starts zipping up his pants.
Jenny turns her body, shielding herself from Officer Thompson's view while trying to catch her breath.
"Nothing, sir," Carl stammers, trying to seem nonchalant. "Just collecting rent."
Carl's words hang in the air like a sour note, making Jenny's stomach churn. She can see the wheels turning in Officer Thompson's head as he takes in the scene before him.
"I think there's been some kind of misunderstanding here," Officer Thompson says, his voice even and steady. "Ms. Johnson, is there something you'd like to tell me?"
Jenny reluctantly steps out from behind the couch, her body shaking, still vulnerable and exposed. She takes a deep breath and attempts to collect herself.
"An intruder broke into my apartment last night and stole all of my clothes and belongings," Jenny says, still shivering in the cold, as her eyes avoid contact with Officer Thompson.
"He even took the curtains, towels, sheets and pillows," she adds, pointing to the bare windows and bed.
Officer Thompson takes a step closer to Jenny, staring at her naked body, his eyes taking her in from head to toe.
"Shit, I never realized how beautiful you were, miss Johnson," he murmurs to her, his voice barely above a whisper.
Jenny holds her breath, unsure of what to say. The policeman is undeniably attractive, tall with wide shoulders and piercing blue eyes. But right now, she's not in the mood for flattery. She wants to get dressed and report the burglary without any further complications.
"Sir, I just want to get dressed and make a statement about the theft," Jenny says, still hugging herself.
"Yes, of course, Ms. Johnson," Officer Thompson says, nodding his head. His gaze is still fixated on Jenny, and it's making her feel uncomfortable.
Carl takes the opportunity to slip out of the room while their attention is focused on Jenny. Jenny hurries over to the closet and opens it up, only to find it empty. She groans in frustration, realizing that she has nothing to wear.
Officer Thompson approaches her, handcuffing her wrists behind her back.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Johnson, but I have to take you down to the station," he says, his voice gentle yet firm. "It's protocol, I'm afraid. We can't have you wandering around naked."
Jenny's eyes widen in shock as the cold metal of the handcuffs bite into her skin. She can feel the embarrassment rising in her cheeks as Officer Thompson leads her out of the apartment, her bare feet making a soft thumping sound on the wooden floor.
"But Officer, I don't have any clothes," she stammers, her voice trembling. "I was robbed last night, and all of my belongings were stolen."
Officer Thompson nods sympathetically.
