One Shots 'The nursery nurse'

A Strike on Love Part III

Charlotte took a deep breath, trying to remain as calm as possible. She sat in the interrogation room and waited.

She couldn't believe it, she was arrested in front of her work. She didn't want to imagine what was being written in the parents' What App groups.

The door opened and a policeman entered, he had a file in his hand and a plastic bag containing a bottle of vodka. He sat down opposite her.

"So Mrs. Lancaster, you've been charged with several counts of endangering minors."

Charlotte drew her eyebrows together. "I don't know where these accusations are coming from. But I can assure you that they are not true."

" Really? We've received several anonymous tips that you turned up for work drunk. We also found this in your car," he held up the plastic bag.

"What? I would never go to work drunk, let alone drive!" Charlotte exclaimed in despair.

"But you've been seen several times in the pub opposite the Nursery."

"Yes, but always after work with my colleagues," said Charlotte.

"You separated from your husband at the beginning of the year, is that right?"

Charlotte looked at him, confused. "Yes, that's right, but what does that have to do with it now?"

" A divorce can take a lot out of you. Some people do more sport afterwards, others take up a hobby and others turn to alcohol. So Mrs Lancaster, please explain to me how that bottle got into your car."

"I don't know..." Charlotte whispered.

The policeman closed the file loudly. "I don't have any more questions for now."

At the same time, Marjorie was being questioned in the next room.

"If I tell you! I didn't commit insurance fraud!" cried the manager desperately.

"The reports to the insurance company were only ever made when you were working and under your name. " the policeman pointed to the documents in front of him.

" I can't explain it..."

" I took the liberty of doing a background check. Van Gould. A well-known and influential name and yet you have money problems."

Marjorie knew that her surname would be her downfall at some point.
"I have nothing to do with this family."

" Evidently, and therefore no access to the Van Goulds' fortune. So you looked for other options. Dating the son of the owner of you job was probably no longer enough. You had to find another way!"

"What?" Marjorie shouted.

Winter was also being questioned. In front of him were bank statements showing the money transactions between the Nursery account and Winter's account.

"You are married to the owner's daughter. So you had access to the Nursery account," the policeman said seriously.

"No, I didn't have access! I didn't steal anything either!"

"Well, the bank statements say otherwise."

Winter crossed his arms. "I won't say anything else without my lawyer!"

The Knight Siblings and Mia were still standing outside the presidium waiting for O'Brian. When suddenly Reece's phone rang.

"Hello."

" Reece, it's Siobhan."

Reece turned away from his sister and Mia and took a few steps to the side. " What do you want?!"

" Listen Reece, this whole thing is Roger's doing. Janice is in on it too."

"If you know all this, then come to police headquarters and testify!"

"If I do, Roger will destroy all the evidence and run away. Reece I know you don't like me. But I'll try to find evidence to exonerate Marjorie and the others," the blonde hung up.

Reece hoped that Siobhan was telling the truth and the she was on their side.
