Timberlake High School: A Short Story

Sitting in a dark alley, Justin was waiting, watching, for any signs of anyone breaking the law. Taking a bite out of a scrumptious doughnut, he heard a voice in his walkie-talkie. Picking the walkie-talkie up, Justin asked what was wrong. The person on the other end replied that they were at Timberlake High School and that some kids were selling drugs. Responding, Justin uttered he would be there in a few minutes. Arriving at the school, Justin saw the three kids who were selling the drugs were sitting on the curb in the parking lot. Still sitting in his car, Justin asked what their names were and they retorted Jack, Sean and Jeff. Asking why he wanted to know their names, Jack was exasperated. Not wanting to make the situation worse, Justin didn’t respond. Moreover, he got out and talked to John, his best friend on the same shift. Here for a presentation for the students, John caught them in the bathroom. Asking if John called their parents, John said yes. Suddenly, three vehicles pulled up in the parking lot. Assuming that they were the teens’ parents they got out of their cars and began yelling at their children. All three of them were so angry at their kids because all three of the parents told them not to sell drugs. Sean’s mom began yelling at
Justin and she was furious. Sean’s mom asked Justin why they were here. Explaining that they were here for a presentation, he told her how he found the three teens. Sean’s mom began yelling at him again, asking why they were selling the drugs
Consequently, Justin told them to calm down. Affirming that they would have to go to jail, Justin felt bad for the three moms. The three parents dropped to their knees and began begging for their kids to stay here. Proclaiming that they would have to go because they are old enough and drugs are illegal was John. The parents, who were all mothers, began sobbing hysterically. Disappointed, one of the mothers pulled her hand as far back as she could, and slapped Jeff as hard as she could. All three of them got in their cars and drove home. Thinking to himself that it was easier than he expected to catch them, they got into their cars with the teenagers and they both drove to the police station. Correspondingly, they showed up at the station and John talked to their chief while Justin watched the three teens. Justin asked the kids why they were selling drugs. Sean said it was because they wanted all of the money that their friends had. Asking why they needed it, he asked them if they knew the drugs were illegal. Saying that they wanted to be rich he told Justin to be quiet because he thought that Justin was being obnoxious. John came back and told Justin that there was enough room to hold all three of them. Justin and John grabbed them and escorted them to three separate cells, all right next to each other. John told them that their bale price is set to twenty thousand dollars each. Sean groaned at the price and Jeff and Jack weren’t even listening. Justin and John left and called the teenagers’ parents to tell them what the consequences were.
Jack’s father, who was on the phone with John began to yell. He asked if he could speak with Jack and he was depressed with the answer John yielded him John hung up and told Justin that Jack’s father was going to come over to bail him out. Being that, fifteen minutes later, Jack’s father arrived at the police headquarters. He talked to the chief and paid the twenty thousand dollars while the other two had to serve a month in prison. After, Justin was talking to John and asked if he thought they learned their lessons. John shrugged his shoulders, stating that he didn’t think they learned because they wanted to be
rich.
