As Emma and Fernando were in their car heading to a family dinner a stranger knocked on their window. Emma nervous opened the window. As soon as she did, the man threw a book bag into the car and ran away.

Emma and Fernando looked at each other and were confused; they didn’t know why that stranger would throw a bag inside their car. They opened the bag and looked at each other. It was a book bag full of different types of drugs. As soon as they closed the book bag, sirens they both got really nervous because they were in a car with a bag full of drugs.

The cops blocked Emma’s car so it wouldn’t be able to go anywhere. Two policemen opened the doors pulled them out, and threw them against the squad cars. They both started screaming and arguing with the police because they were both innocent. The police looked at them and told them if they kept on talking, they would be in even more trouble. Emma and Fernando were shoved inside two different squad cars. At the police station, they were interviewed and questioned about why they had such a large amount of drugs in their car.

All the evidence pointed to them as if they were the ones who bought all those drugs and were going to sell them. They both were sent to different jails: Emma went to a women’s detention center, and Fernando was sent to a men’s detention center.

Their families both got involved because Fernando and Emma were facing up to 20 years in jail. Everything pointed to them as if they were the ones who had everything to do with the drugs.

Emma and Fernando faced problems while they were both in jail. Inmates tried to beat them up. They both saw no hope. They thought they were going to be in jail for a really long time. No new evidence came out and any new evidence made Emma and Fernando look even guiltier.

After two weeks in jail, the judge gave them a court date to see what was going to happen to them. They now thought they would have more hope of getting out.

The court date came and the judge said they would both at least do twenty years in jail. Emma couldn’t help but cry. Her family was devastated. Because the family insisted the police decided to send the book bag to a lab. Of course, this took two months to see if there was another person involved. Once the results came in, the police figured out there was another fingerprint, which was of a man. So they started investigating more about this man to see if he had anything to connect him with Emma or Fernando.

Once the police did all the investigation they had to do they figured out that this was the same man who was most wanted in the United States for drug dealing.

Emma and Fernando were relieved to hear this and to know they were going to be set free. The police apologized because they had accused them both of something they had nothing to do with and after all this time they were innocent. The policeman asked them both to please help them find this man and they would both get a reward. So Emma and Fernando both agreed to this.

The police got the media involved, so the drug dealer would think Emma and Fernando were going to jail for the crime he had committed. The police pretended to let this case go and to say that they already had caught the two people who were involved in this drug dealing. Soon after, this man was caught in a hospital trying to steal different types of medicine.

The guy was arrested and is going to serve 20 years to life in prison. Emma and Fernando were rewarded with 10,000 dollars each, and they were able to do whatever they wanted with that.
