Part one.
Quite what had possessed Gemma to take part in the protest march, she could no longer really remember - her friend Natalie had talked her into it, probably; she was always talking Gemma into things. The police in heavy riot gear had headed them off and split the march into two, diverting one part into a side street and keeping them "kettled" there; Natalie had somehow got into the other group, so Gemma didn't know any of the people she was with.
They had been cooped up in this side-street for an hour now, and the crowd was getting impatient; Gemma wasn't the only one who needed the loo, but the police were letting nobody leave. The protesters surged and heaved forward, and she found herself pushed unwillingly to the front, where a couple of burly riot policemen stared at her coldly.
"Move back!" one of the riot-cops shouted.
"I can't, they're pushing me!" Gemma shouted back.
"Move back, or you'll be arrested," one of the officers snarled, as the other seized hold of her placard, which said "End Police Brutality".
"You little bitch," he growled, "I'll show you police brutality..."
