The school announced a day off the following day for an unknown reason on the school's official website and Instagram. Although I knew exactly what was the problem.
I got news from Logan. He had been watching closely to Leah's case. His latest update was Leah's father, Mr. John Carpenter, who finally ca to the police station where Leah was detained right now.
He ca with a convincing lawyer, at least convincing enough in my eyes.
—
Logan: Leah is still in investigation. She's not as confident as she used to, though. That false evidence really worked out in our favor.
Logan: She can't explain all those fake evidence, but she cannot deny her involvent.
Emmy: That's good. Can you send a video of so sort?
Logan: hold on.
—
It took a mont until Logan texted back, sending two videos that were most likely taken consecutively.
I clicked on the first video, and it showed Leah with two police officers sitting face to face.
Their expressions were solemn, but Leah seed to be confused more than scared.
—Video 1__
One police officer slamd dozens of crystal th ziplock small packs. It was so many even for adults to have, let alone a teenager like Leah.
"Now tell , Miss Leah Carpenter, how in hell you have the possession of this dangerous crystal th? It's a high Quilty one as well. It's incredible soone at your age has this kind of drug."
"In a big batch!" the other police officer added. "Miss, you're in big trouble, you know that, right?"
"I don't know! Do you really think that I'm the one who owns all these drugs?! Do you think a high-school student like would keep that much?" Leah tried to claim her innocence to no avail.
Of course, that didn't make sense because Leah never saved that amount in her house! That was a stupid move!
"But we found this in your house, Miss Leah. You seem to hide a lot in your bedroom because we found a lot there."
"We also found many hidden inside vases in your luxury house. As in how you can get your hands on these dangerous, illegal drugs, I think we both know the answer."
"You're the daughter of Mr. John Carpenter. Your Father is a successful businessman and a single father. I think it's fairly obvious that you're blessed with a lot of money to purchase these drugs sowhere."
Leah was speechless. What the police officers said must've been correct. She obtained those with her Daddy's allowance. She was uncontrolled and unmonitored. It wasn't difficult for her to connect with the dealers and buy a big batch, making her a VIP custor for them.
Leah gritted her teeth out of frustration. She slamd the table as well and yelled out loud, "I don't know what this crap is! I never bought these crystal ths! Didn't you test before? The result ca out negative, right? I do not consu illegal substances!"
"But your mbers do. We've tested everyone related to Boxing Club, and 90% of the ones active under your managent as the manager has tested positive for the use of drugs."
"Miss Leah, do you think we will accuse you without proofs?"
"But those proofs are bogus! Fake! You guys are trying to trap !"
"Miss, we don't need to trap you because everything is right in front of our eyes. There is no need to deny the obvious!" The police officers seed to start losing their patience at Leah's persistence.
"I DID NOT DO IT! I DID NOT BUY THAT MUCH CRYSTAL TH!" Leah snapped out of fear and confusion. "I refuse to speak until I et my Dad and the lawyer! You guys are just trying to fra here!"

I was a bit stunned by how persistent Leah was. She was obviously scared, but she was still strong enough to stand on her ground and refused to admit it until her Daddy and lawyer ca.
Though, it made wonder if she was brave by default, or was it because she knew her Daddy would bail her out no matter how.
I got curious since Logan said that her Daddy and lawyer had co, so that ant the second video must've shown the presence of Mr. John Carpenter.

"Daddy!" Leah jumped from the chair and hugged her Daddy, who just ca with a lawyer following them. She hugged him tightly and then complained, "Daddy, these people are trying to fra for a grievous cri! They're trying to make the mastermind! I was forced to join the people in my club because they said they'd beat if I didn't join them. Even my drug test is negative!"
"I know, Leah. Let Dad handle this, okay? All you need to do is to answer honestly with all the questions, and you'll be alright," Mr. John Carpenter said.
He glared at the police officers and sat on Leah's seat before, "Explain to what the hell is happening here!"
I thought the police officers would falter before a man like Mr. John Carpenter, but they didn't.
In fact, they got even braver than before and took another seat for the lawyer to sit.
"Mr. Carpenter, before you accuse us of framing your daughter, you should know the report that we got from our investigation yesterday."
One police officer put all the evidence of crystal th packs in one box and then slamd it on the table, right in front of Mr. Carpenter's face.
Both Mr. Carpenter and the lawyer were stunned when they saw the number of drugs on the table. Even soone like Mr. Carpenter knew how much was that.
"As you can see, this amount of drugs is enough to pull an adult to life sentence, or even worse, death sentence," the police officer said.
"And this amount of high-quality crystal th is expensive and difficult to get unless you have direct access to the highest dealer, the mafia," the other police officer added.
"And apparently, your daughter owns all of these. We couldn't believe it at first because the fact that a 15 years old can get her hands on this was just unbelievable."
"O—Of course, it's unbelievable! Do you think my daughter has that much money to buy this? She's still underage and in high school!"
"Y—Yes! How could I get that much?!" Leah, who was standing behind Mr. Carpenter's seat, added.
"We thought like that too at first, Mr. Carpenter," the police officer sighed. "But we searched in two different spots, the Boxing Club room, where your daughter becos the manager of the club, and also your luxurious house."
"Apparently, there are dozens of crystal th packed in small ziplock bags, scattered everywhere, including the trashcan and under the window. It's a shocking scene even for us."
"Well, it's because that boxing club is a bad influence on my daughter! She's tested negative, and she's a new manager to that boxing club! It must've been tainted way before my daughter joined!" Mr. Carpenter insisted.
"We're not done yet, Mr. Carpenter," the police officer said solemnly.
"We also thought it might be a re coincidence that your daughter got involved in this. But when we searched through your house, we also found the exact sa substance, mostly hidden under vases and a lot of them in her bedroom."
"Now you explain to , how could a 15 years old hide that much high quality, dangerous crystal th inside her room? Does it magically transported there?"
"Or do you, Mr. John Carpenter wants to admit that you're the one who put that amount of crystal th inside your house. That amount is enough for a life sentence or even death sentence."
Mr. John Carpenter was stunned by the second report, he turned his head at Leah, and Leah shook her head fervently, "I SWEAR, IT'S NOT !"
"Stop denying it, Miss Leah Carpenter. We've interrogated all of the mbers of the Boxing Club separately. They all said the sa thing, the manager of Boxing Club, Miss Leah Carpenter, is the one who has been supplying them with drugs known as chalk, another term for crystal th."
"They also said that they shared the sa syringe when injecting the drugs into their veins. All were taught by Miss Leah."
"Mr. John Carpenter, I know you love your daughter, but we have proofs enough to get an absolute guilty verdict from the judge later," the police officer said solemnly. "No matter what your renowned lawyer does, there is no way Miss Leah Carpenter can escape the guilty verdict. Her action has hard the lives of many youths, alongside her possession of dangerous drugs enough to give soone a death sentence. Although, since she was a juvenile, she'd probably get a very long sentence instead."
…
…
Mr. John Carpenter stayed silent for a long ti. He kept staring at the box of crystal th on the table and nodded in silence.
"I'll try my best to cooperate, officer. But you know I'm a father. No matter how bad my daughter screwed up, I will not leave her."
"D—Daddy?! Why did you say that? Do you not believe !?"
"Silence, Leah! What you did is beyond my expectation! I'll try my best to save you, but you can't expect to bail out easily!"
