I did not refuse and we arrived at the police station soon after. Monique was detained in the interrogation room. The police officer spotted me and asked, "Are you Miss Arianna Reid?"
I nodded and inquired anxiously, "Why was Monique arrested? What happened?"
"Miss Caulfield is suspected to be selling methamphetamine illegally, so we will need to look into it. Miss Reid, we would appreciate your cooperation."
The police officer spoke in a stern voice.
I was so shocked that I broke out in a cold sweat. Methamphetamine?
Why would Monique be involved with drugs?
I grabbed the police officer and was a little agitated. "Sir, Monique would never do anything against the law. There must be some misunderstandings. Please look into it."
He frowned and replied, "Miss Reid, don't worry. We will investigate it. We have some questions to ask you, please come with me."
I did not have time to think about it. I followed the police officer into the interrogation room. After a few questions, I had roughly figured out what was going on.
The previous night, someone had found a large amount of methamphetamine in Monique's bar. Strangely, why did that person wait until the next day to file the police report?
After my interrogation, I met Monique. It had only been a few hours, but she did not put on any makeup and her dark circles made her look haggard.
She saw me and seized my arm. "Arianna, someone set me up. It was Andrea! She came to the bar with a man last night. I thought she was just there to have a drink but I didn't expect her to frame me."
Andrea went to the bar with a man?
