how it would really happen

the shortstop ignores you, flips to the second baseman for the first out who then fires to the first baseman for the DP. If he's really gutsy, he throws to third hoping for a triple play. because it's a force situation, the tag is irrelevant, no fielder would consider it an option unless the runner is literally right in front of him.
If he's not forced, if the ball is hit to that side of the infield, the runner stays put at second, but should he somehow get caught off the bag, best move is to get in a rundown to allow the batter to reach safely.
