Chapter 23 Mr. Hugh Spade's Trouble
Dennis Herbers did not expect that the few prescription drugs he gave to the students of Holy Cross High School would make the Holy Cross High School Board of Trustees and Parents Committee feel like enemies.

He just followed Tommy Hawke's instructions and gave a small amount of medicines to a few high school students who were not familiar with him as a gift to show his peers. Then on the third day, two policemen showed up in a police car. The school, take him from the school to the police station for questioning.

"So, boy, two afternoons ago, you sold these little pills to students at Holy Cross High School, right?" Taking Dennis Herbs to the interrogation room, the police took out the Holy Cross High School Board of Trustees and called the police. The few prescription medicines that were brought over at that time were thrown on the table, and he shook his head depressingly.

If it wasn't for the private high school's board of directors and parents' committee calling the police, and even specially arranging a lawyer to watch over the police to find out the ins and outs of the whole incident, he wouldn't have to work hard because of 25 prescription drugs. Any of those jerks locked up for questioning look like they're in more trouble than a high school kid from a shitty high school.

"Sell? No, of course not. I gave them. They are my friends. I just gave them gifts." Dennis Hebbs responded to the police's inquiry.

A police officer looked at Dennis-Hebbs seriously: "We learned from those students that you did use the wording of gift and gift, and you didn't charge for it, but you should be aware of the dangers of this drug. , it’s not ice cream or a music album.”

"Hazardous? Of course not, what are you kidding, officer, these are not poisonous pills, they are Adelaer and sleeping pills, which are harmless to humans and animals. If you want to review your homework late at night without being affected by fatigue, you can take a few pills and you will be fine." You will be full of energy until dawn, and after you finish your homework, you will be able to have a comfortable sleep if you take sleeping pills."

"Why are you sending them this drug."

"Officer, you don't know me? Dennis Herbs, Lincoln High School Person of the Year, I'm flattered that the Prisoners of Fire rock band at Holy Cross High School invited me to their school concert, you know, those private The high school students used to be high-minded, but now, they have invited me to be my friend. Of course I have to show courtesy, so I chipped in and bought some gifts for them that I think they might need ...Well...I thought that when they held a concert, they would also take some pills to improve their vitality like I did in Lincoln High." Dennis Herbers spread his hands to the police and said helplessly: "It seems that they Don't like this kind of stuff."

The police have already learned about the situation of the high school boy across the street through the school. Apart from liking to show off, he actually doesn't have many bad habits. Moreover, he has checked the file system of the Drug Enforcement Administration, and there is no trigger record of any drugs or prohibited drugs. There are only 25 prescription pills on the table, so the police can only reprimand him, which is not even enough for official registration, not to mention that this guy is underage.

At most, call Lincoln High School, let the school intervene in the follow-up process, and then let him go.

"Child, the way you make friends is a bit unpleasant. I think the whole Holy Cross High School refuses to be friends with you now." The policeman sighed, picked up the inquiry book on the table to end the conversation, and casually told Dennis He Boss asked what he thought was the last question: "So, you bought 25 prescription pills, right? Don't do this stupid thing again, this stuff will poison your brain, kid."

"25 pills? No, I paid a fortune for [-] Adlars and [-] sleeping pills, and I thought maybe the fans at the concert would need it too, and it was a great place to meet new people. "Dennis Herbers said to the police with an ignorant and fearless expression.

The policeman, who was about to unscrew the pen and was about to write, paused, looked up at Dennis Herbers, "One hundred Adlar, fifty sleeping pills?"

"Yes, officer, I bought it for ninety-six quarters," said Dennis Herbers.

The policeman glanced at the medicines on the table: "There are only 25 pills here."

"The rest are in a locker at my school, and I'm going to take them over and give them to them when the concert officially starts."

"It's impossible for you to buy so many drugs at a time through a pharmacy or a clinic. No doctor will prescribe such a doctor's order. Who sold it to you, boy." The police closed the inquiry book.

Dennis shrugged: "Mr. Hugh Spade, he is very nice, but he likes to raise the price."

……

Hugh Spade sat at the desk, closed the lesson plans he had just finished, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Feeling that life has returned to normal these days, the woman Melonie paid him another 100 yuan, which allowed Hugh Spade to use the money to buy a newest baby thermostat and a silver ring , planning to visit her child’s mother on her birthday as a gift, to see if there is a chance to make her change her mind, marry her, give the child a complete family, and the most important thing is to end this miserable single life today.

In this way, I don't have to be forced to withdraw the money in the salary account by the Children's Protection Bureau, and can enjoy the social benefits brought by the child's birth.

"Mr. Spade, are you busy now?" A white-haired school worker knocked on the open office door and asked Hugh Spade, who was taking a nap inside, with a smile.

"Of course not, Mr. Shire, what am I... Oh..." Before Hugh Spade finished his greetings with the other party, a police officer appeared outside the door, which surprised him.

The janitor pointed to the policeman and introduced to Hugh Spade: "There are two police officers who want to see you."

"But I only saw one." Hugh Spade's nervousness flashed across his face, and then he said with a smile: "Have you lost your way in our beautiful garden-like Sinclair Elementary School? Please come in and sit, police officer."

"Another police officer, went to the principal's office to find out about you, Mr. Hugh Spade." The policeman seemed to be in his forties, with a vicissitudes of life, and walked up to Hugh Spade with a deadpan expression on his face. Staring at him, he lightly tapped the police rank on the three silver olive branch bars on his shoulder with his fingers: "I'm Lenny Cotton, a detective sergeant of the Warwick Police Department."

Hugh Spade swallowed nervously, trying to show a smile: "What's the matter, Mr. Sergeant?"

"When we were admonishing a high school student, we learned that he bought some addictive psychotropic prescription drugs from you three days ago. We would like to ask you to return to the police station to cooperate with the investigation. This is a document signed by the chief of the Warwick Police Department , you can keep it for yourself." Lenny Cotton took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Hugh Spade.

Hugh Spade cursed secretly in his heart, but he immediately regained his senses: "Mr. Police Officer, as far as I know, even if I sold some prescription drugs, it was at most admonishing conversations and putting me on the list that needs attention. There is no need for this With great fanfare."

Lenny Cotton glanced at the gift that Hugh Spade put on the table to give to his girlfriend when he got off work: "The latest electronic thermostat bottle warmer? It's $47. As far as I know, if you don't have a part-time job, follow the It's unlikely you'll be able to afford this on your income."

"Mr. Police Officer, you have to maintain enough respect for me. I am a teacher, not a criminal." Hugh Spade thought he understood drug control, and that little drug could not be a reason for the police to treat him like this, so his tone was not kind. shot back.

Lenny Cotton nodded noncommittally: "I understand your feelings, but all the members of the Holy Cross High School Parents Committee obviously don't think so, the drugs you sold almost made those proud of heaven addicted to drugs, and, you I really think that selling 150 controlled prescription drugs at a time is just admonishment? Maybe there will be admonishment, but it’s not just admonishment. First of all, you have to go back to the police station with me. I will give you the greatest respect and best you Before I treat you as an elementary school teacher instead of a drug dealer, don't force me to take the drug dealer away, obediently cooperate and go out, get in the police car, now."
