Brad was worried.his beloved tessi was gone.it was not like her. She was bold but she would not just leave and the dead if night without telling him.if she had been kidnapped wouldn't he have known about it. He was a heavy sleeper but not that heavy.
He called her cell phone. He got no answer. He kept trying. Nothing. He kept trying and someone answered.
"Who is this?"a gruf voice on the other end asked. "This is brad graves. I am trying to get a hold of my wife Tessa. Who is this?"he asked.
"This is sergeant Randy Philips with the northport police. Your wife is under arrest. She is being investigated for d.u.I, possibly hit and run and perhaps more."the sergeant said.
"Oh my!" he said. "She is being held at the county jail. "Phlips said. "I see. I assume she won't be released until a bail hearing. "He said. "She will probably appear before a judge tomorrow to fulfil the legal requirement but maybe not a formal arrangement. " the sergeant said.
None of this made any sense. Why did he not hear her leave. What was she doing out at this time of night. He could not believe she would just leave like that.
She had told him she would tone things down after the south Sudan incident. She promised to always keep him in the loop no matter what.she always did that. After a few years of marriage, why would she break it now?
He checked on the kids. They were all in bed. The baby was asleep. He could not sleep. He could not leave the kids.he did ,he did not want to load the kids into the car at this time of night. He did not want to worry his mother in law although he would tell her in the morning.
Even if he went to the lock up tonight there was nothing he could do. They might not see her tonight. He wanted to be with her.
Despite the recent excitement ,there life was mostly quiet and uneventful. They had a peaceful life. He had always been happy. Not perfect but happy. They were both sinners for sure. They we're in love. Now there happy life was threatened.he did not know how or why.
Officer downy arrived at Bradshaw street. He went behind the yellow tape. He went over to officer bell. "The was dead when we arrived. He Was killed by impact of the car. Apearent age is 50s. He had no identification. No wallet. He Seam to be a transient. " bell said.
"His only personal effect was a pamphlet in his pocket.it was titled "Jesus loves the Palestinians too " officer Cohn said.
"Your kidding right?" downy asked. Then officer Cohn showed him the paper. "If course your not. "Downy said. "The man seemed to be killed by a car but we won't know for sure unt the m.e's report. " officer bell said.
"This is not a well traveled road as this time if night. If there were witnesses it will be difficult finding them. " officer Cohn said.
"I have a suspect. I arrested a young lady for erratic driving.I suspected d.u.I but she passed the breathalyzer. She seemed to have no alholole in her. They took a drug sample just in case. " downy said.
You think she was under the influence of something?"Cohn asked."she would have to be.she was out if it I was sure she was drunk. If not alcohol I'm thinking drug maybe. Weird the lady is super religious. You never can tell with people.we all have our breaking points!"downy said.
Tess was taken to the county jail .she was processed. She was finger printed.she had her mug schot taken.she was changed into a prison issue Orange two peace jumpsuit and given sandles.
She was taken to a holding cell.she fell asleep almost the minute she was left alone. She slept though the night.she woke up the next morning.
She woke up disoriented. She had no idea where She was. Then she saw the bars door. She Was in prison.she had no idea how or why.
"Tess I never thought we wod meet like this!"detective Morgan said."what's going on?" she asked."you were driving erratically. The officer assumed you were drunk. You tested negative for alcohols. They did a urine test. A homeless man was killed. Hit and run. "Detective Greer said.
"I don't remember getting into the car. Brad and I had a quiet night. We went to bed. Next thing I know I wake up hear. "She declared.
"Is it possible you have a medical condition? You ever have seizures black outs?"Morgan asked.
" I had a check up two week ago. Everything was fine. I have never had any seizures or black out. " she said."I have never slept walk. "She said. "There is going to be s hearing but you probably won't be formerly arranged. You may be hear for a while. "Morgan said.
She appeared in court. The judge ordered her held. Another hearing was scheduled in two days. She cod be arranged before then.
"Detective Morgan the tox screen is back. We found a drug in her system at the time of the arest "a doctor said."what kind of drug?"Greer asked.
"It was a drug designed by the Soviet union as a kind of truth syrum. It also leaves the person venerable to suggestion. It has found it's way to the us. It has become a New ecstasy!"the doctor said.
"She was drugged .she might have been under the influence of this drug during the hit and run. " Greer said. "We can't prove her car was involved in the incident. We just assume it was. "Greer said.
"Is this a plot to discredet her? She exposed the south Sudan plot. There is plenty of evidence even if her credibility was impeached. "Morgan said.
"Her husband said she is working on smal cases. A patent infringement and a few others. "Greer said.
"The crime scene unit has determined that the car Was not involved in the hit and run." the captain said.
"The only thing she is guilty of is erratic driving witch is smal time. Somone did that to her. " Morgan said. "She needs to be released. "Greer said. "I will talk to the d.a. " the captain said. "Who drugged her and why?"Morgan asked.
