Chapter Twenty-Three: The Trouble of Mr. Hugh Spader
Dennis Herbs didn't expect that the few prescription pills he gave to the students of Holy Cross High School would make the school board and the parent committee of Holy Cross High School a formidable enemy.
He just gave a small portion of the medicine as a gift to a few high school students who didn't know him well as a gesture of goodwill to his peers, and then on the third day, two police officers showed up at the school in a police car and took him from the school to the police station for questioning.
"So, kid, you sold these little pills to the students of Holy Cross High School two afternoons ago, right?" Bringing Dennis Herbs to the inquiry room, the policeman took out the prescriptions sent by the Holy Cross High School Board when they called the police and threw them on the table, shaking his head a little depressedly.
If it weren't for the private high school's board of directors and parents' committees calling the police, and even arranging for a lawyer to keep an eye on the police to find out the ins and outs of the whole thing, he wouldn't have worked hard to get around for twenty-five prescription pills, and the bastards who were being held in the detention room at the moment waiting to be questioned, which one of them seemed to be in more trouble than a high school student in a garbage high school.
"Sell? No, of course not, I give them, they are my friends, I just give them gifts. Dennis Herbs responded to police inquiries.
A police officer looked at Dennis Herbs with a heavy eye: "We learned from the students that you did use the word "give and give" and didn't charge a fee, but you should know how harmful this drug is, it's not ice cream or music albums. ”
"Harmful? Of course not, what are you kidding, officer, these are not poisons, they are harmless Aderals and Sleep Ketones, if you want to review your homework late at night without being affected by tiredness, you can be refreshed until dawn by eating a few pills, and after you finish your homework, take Sleep Ketones, you can ensure a comfortable sleep. ”
"Why are you sending this medicine to them?"
"Officer, you don't know me? Dennis Herbs, Lincoln High School of the Year, Holy Cross High School's 'Prisoners of Fire' rock band invited me to their school concert, and I was flattered, you know, those private high school students used to be high in virtue, but now they've invited me to be my friend, and of course I'm going to be polite, so I scraped together some money and bought them some gifts that I thought they might need...... All right...... I thought that when they had a concert, they would take some pills to boost their vitality just like I did in Lincoln High School. Dennis Herbs spread his hands to the police and said helplessly, "Looks like they don't like this kind of thing." ”
The police have learned about the situation of the high school boy opposite through the school, in addition to liking to show off himself, he actually doesn't have too many bad habits, and through the Drug Enforcement Administration's file system, there is no trigger record of drugs or illegal drugs, plus there are only twenty-five prescription drugs on the table, so that the police can only admonish him, not even enough to officially register, not to mention, this guy is still underage.
At most, call Lincoln High School, get the school involved, and then let him go.
"Kid, the way you make friends is a little unpleasant, and I think the whole of Holy Cross High School is now refusing to be friends with you." The policeman sighed, picked up the interrogator on the table to end the conversation, and casually asked Dennis Herbs what he thought was the last question: "So, you bought twenty-five prescription pills, right?" Don't do this stupid thing next time, it's going to poison your brain, kid. ”
"Twenty-five? No, I paid a fortune for 100 Adderral and 50 Sleep Ketones, and I thought maybe the fans at the concert would need to have fun, and it would be a great place to meet new people. Dennis Herbs said to the police with an ignorant and fearless expression.
The policeman was unscrewing the pen and preparing to write when he suddenly paused, and looked up at Dennis Herbs: "One hundred Adlar, fifty sleeping ketones?" ”
"Yes, officer, I bought it for ninety-six dollars and twenty-five cents." Dennis Herbs said.
The policeman glanced at the medicine on the table: "There are only twenty-five pills here." ”
"The rest is in my school locker, and I'm going to bring it to them when the concert officially starts."
"You can't buy so many drugs at a time through a pharmacy or a clinic, no doctor will prescribe this kind of medical order, who sold it to you, boy." The policeman closes the interrogatory.
Dennis shrugged: "Teacher Hugh Spader, he's nice, he just likes to raise prices. ”
……
Hugh Spader sat at his desk, closing the lesson plan he had just finished, and breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past few days, he felt that his life had returned to normal, and the woman Melonie paid him another hundred dollars, which allowed Hugh Spade to use the money to buy a state-of-the-art baby thermostat and a silver ring, and to give it to her on the child's mother's birthday as a gift, to see if there was a chance to make the other party change his mind, marry him, give the child a complete family, and most importantly, end the miserable single life now.
In this way, you will not have to be forced to transfer money from your salary account by the Child Protection Agency, and you will be able to enjoy the social benefits that come with the birth of your child.
"Mr. Spade, are you busy right now?" A gray-haired school worker knocked on the wide-open office door and asked with a smile at Hugh-Spader, who was taking a nap inside.
"Of course not, Mr. Charles, what is there for me...... Oh......" Before Hugh Spade could finish his pleasantries, a police officer appeared outside the door, startling him.
The school worker gestured to the police officer and introduced Hugh Spader, "There are two officers who want to see you. ”
"But I only saw one." Hugh Spader's nervousness flashed across his face, and then he smiled and said, "Are you lost at our beautiful garden-like Sinclair Elementary School?" Please come in and take a seat, officer. ”
"Another officer, went to the principal's office to find out about you, Mr. Hugh Spader." The policeman looked to be in his forties, with a vicissitudes of life, and walked up to Hugh Spader, stared at him expressionlessly, and tapped his fingers lightly on the three silver olive branch folded bars on his shoulder: "I'm Lenny Cotton, the detective of the Warwick City Police Department." ”
Hugh Spade swallowed a mouthful of saliva a little nervously, trying to smile, "What's the matter, Mr. Police?" ”
"When we were admonishing a high school student, we learned that he had bought some addictive psychotropic prescription drugs from you three days ago, and wanted to ask you to go back to the police station to cooperate with the investigation. Lenny Cottonon took a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to Hugh Spader.
Hugh-Spade cursed in his heart, but immediately relieved himself: "Mr. Officer, as far as I know, even if I sell some prescription drugs, the most I understand is a reprimand talk, and I need to be put on the list of people who need attention, and there is no need for such fanfare. ”
Lenny Ketton glanced at Hugh Spader's gift for his girlfriend when he got off work, "The latest electronic thermostat huh?" Forty-seven dollars, and I understand that if you don't have a part-time job, you probably won't be able to afford it based on your income. ”
"Mr. Officer, you have to keep enough respect for me, I am a teacher, not a criminal." Hugh Spade thought he knew about drug control, and that the drug was completely unjustified for the police to treat him like this, so he shot back in an unkind tone.
Lenny Cottonon nodded noncommittally: "I understand your feelings, but all the members of the Parent Committee of Holy Cross High School obviously don't think so, the drugs you sell almost make those heavenly pride addicts, and besides, do you really think that selling one hundred and fifty controlled prescription drugs at a time is just a reprimand?" There may be admonitions, but not just admonitions, first of all, you have to go back to the police station with me first, I give you the greatest respect, and it is best that you don't force me to take away the drug dealers before I treat you as an elementary school teacher, not a drug dealer, and obediently cooperate to go out and get into the police car, Now. ”
