Charlotte did not miss the look in their eyes. She took out her cellphone and dialed a number. "If you want to search, go ahead, but I would like my lawyer to discuss it with you first."

She briefly explained her situation and then handed the phone to the leading officer.

After some hesitation, he took the phone.
