Arrested

Claire was thrown into the county jail not believing what had transpired over the past 6 hours. Claire had been caught trying to steal some cute clothes that had been on sale.

She figured no one would notice. But the alarm went off. She figured no one would care, but instead she was met by the manager who then confiscated the items she had and called the police.

They arrested her and booked her for attempted theft and now she was sitting in county jail in an orange jumper after being strip searched.

“You get one phone call,” the officer explained. “Who would you like to call?”

Claire gulped. She knew who she needed to call, but she really didn’t want to. She wondered if it would be better to call someone that wasn’t her mother. That way maybe she wouldn’t feel the heat of getting into trouble.
