Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 193: The End of Whitmores

William didn’t know how the small container ended up in his pocket. His mind raced for a solution, but he found none.

He panicked and said frantically, "That’s not mine! I didn’t carry this container. Officer, believe me, I’ve never used any drugs. Someone might’ve intentionally planted it to harm me. Why would I take such a risk? Officer, please believe me!"

The seated officer said, "Heroin. Do you understand? This is a serious crime in our state of Virginia."

William’s mouth went dry. His thoughts went blank, and he collapsed onto the floor, unconscious.

The officer looked at the others and said, "Interrogate the two who came with him."

"Yes, sir." Two officers exited and brought Jennifer and Jeanne into two separate rooms.

After almost half an hour of questioning, and after thoroughly checking their luggage, the officers released Jeanne and Jennifer. However, they were instructed to report to the local police station once they had rented a residence.

Inside the other room, William regained consciousness after a few minutes. The officers continued with the interrogation and found the case to be rather bizarre. After some thought, the lead officer agreed to help and requested surveillance footage from Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport, where William had spent nearly three hours during transit. But after carefully reviewing the footage, they found no suspicious individual approaching William.

With a sigh, the officer said, "Mr Whitmore, I truly believe your claim. You don’t look like a smuggler. But the law is the law. I have no evidence to prove your innocence. You must understand... 120 grams of heroin is a serious crime in this state. You will be charged under both Virginia transport laws and federal trafficking regulations. We’re placing you under arrest and will hand you over to the local authorities."

He paused and added, "Under the Virginia statute, you’re likely facing a mandatory minimum of five years, since this is your first offence... possibly longer under federal guidelines. I suggest you hire a capable lawyer and apply for bail immediately. The detention centres here aren’t a good place for someone your age."

William had recovered some of his composure and could now think more clearly. He asked, "May I know how many days it takes to get a bail hearing?"

The officer replied, "If your lawyer is capable, you might get bail as early as tomorrow. Otherwise, it could take three to seven days."

William said, "Officer, I truly did not traffic any drugs. I’m new to this area and don’t know anyone. If you could kindly suggest a contact for a good lawyer, I’d be grateful."
