In an office building, I was with a few other guys. We were working on our plan to steal something in this building that was apparently valuable, and therefore highly guarded. We were on one of the upper floors, and the targeted item was on the first floor. Suddenly, a buzzing alarm went off. I was able to see that another group of guys had already gotten to work on the first floor. They beat us to it. Since the alarm was sounding, I had to think fast. I knew that we would be accused simply because we were in the building when it was supposed to be closed. Just then, I ran into a cop. I kept nervously repeating that he can go ahead and handcuff me and question my group, because we were certainly innocent. It all came down to a court hearing. The room was packed. I was seated near the front left corner of the room. That second group of guys was also there. Monica was seated to my right. Since we were not allowed to talk during the hearing, she began communicating to me via sign language, but she never looked at me. I tapped her leg to get her to look at me, at which point I did various shrugging motions to show that I did not understand sign language.
