Chapter 202 Law Above All

With the strong smell of alcohol on Daniel's breath, Brittany was convinced he would end up in jailfor drunk driving. The thought of that country boy locked up made her giddy with joy.

Soon, they approached the checkpoint, where A uniformed officer named Ava Davis, the squadleader, signaled for them to stop. Ava looked inside the vehicle through the tinted windows butcouldn't see clearly, so she knocked on the window and ordered loudly, "Roll down the window!"

People driving this kind of luxury car were often rich kids, and Ava knew that a window left unrolledusually meant one thing: drunk driving! She hadn't caught a single offender that night, and Danielseemed like he would be her first catch.

Seeing Daniel not respond immediately, Brittany leaned over and hit the window button, surprisinghim. He felt her brush against him, an oddly pleasant sensation that lingered in his mind.

Before Daniel could react, Brittany outright betrayed him to Ava. "Officer, this country boy has had aton of vodka, he's definitely drunk driving! Just handcuff him already!"

Ava was taken aback. The woman beside Daniel was accusing him of drunk driving? It seemed likethe man had crossed the line, and this woman wanted to teach him a lesson.

Ava surmised that Daniel must have been partying at a bar, then got caught by his girlfriend. Thewoman in the passenger seat must be his girlfriend wanting to throw her boyfriend in jail. Avathought to herself, such scum deserves to be behind bars. Excellent.

With a stern face, Ava pulled out a breathalyzer, held it to Daniel's mouth, and commanded, "Blowinto this!"

"Officer, I haven't been drinking," Daniel insisted.

"Everyone caught for DUI claims they haven't been drinking. So, whether you've had a drink or nothas nothing to do with what you're saying. Don't think delaying will trick this device. It's verysensitive. Even if you've had just a sip and you wait here an hour, it can still detect the alcohol!Driving such a fancy car, and you can't even afford a designated driver. You're asking for trouble!Stop delaying and blow into this device, now!" Ava was blunt, lecturing Daniel as if she was scoldingher own boyfriend.

"Fine! You're the one in uniform, so you call the shots." Daniel could only comply and gave a smallblow into the breathalyzer.

The display showed a reading of 0. Ava was confused; Daniel clearly smelled of alcohol. Whywasn't the device detecting anything?

"Get serious and give it a few good blows," she insisted.

Following Ava's unceremonious request, Daniel blew vigorously several times, but the numberremained 0.

This made no sense. Daniel definitely reeked of booze, so why wasn't the breathalyzer detecting it?

"Officer, I told you I didn't drink! Can I go now?" Daniel asked.

"You definitely had a drink! Pull over, we're going to do a blood test," Ava said.

Ava wasn't about to let Daniel go that easily; she knew devices could malfunction. A blood testwould settle this once and for all, as she was sure he was driving under the influence.
