Thrown Into Trouble

Who, What, Where? part 3

Blake's pov
What I don't get is why they are drug testing us, our parents have told all of us if we ever did drugs and they found out we would be dead. Not literally dead but we would be in a lot of trouble if we did it but I don't think any of us ever thought about doing drugs and none of us have done them to my knowledge. "Why did you have us do a drug test?" Dylan asks "we know better than to do that" he continues "because losing your memory can happen with continuous drug use and it makes people act differently then they usually do" Danny says "ok I guess that's a good reason to check for them but we wouldn't have taken any drugs as Dylan said we know better" I say. My mom looks at the test we peed on and then looks up "they are positive" she says shocking both of us "how?" I ask "what drug or drugs does it say is in their system?" Clayton asks. Apparently my question wasn't as important because my mom turns to face Clayton "since they are at home test they don't tell me what drug or drugs they are exactly like if it was morphine or heroin but it tells me the type of drug like if it is an opioid or steroid or stuff like that" my mom says. Great meaning we have no idea what drug or drugs are in our bodies but we also don't know how they got in our bodies either, "so what are they?" Danny asks "the only thing showing us is benzodiazepines" my mom says "so I was right" Toby says and my mom nods "you were, good job figuring it out Toby" she says "I was right too" Danny says "can someone explain to us what this means please?" I ask because Toby, my mom, Maria, Clayton, and Danny seem to know what's going on but the rest of us are confused.

My mom collects the stuff we gave her and turns to Toby "can you and Danny explain to them I need to get these to my lab" she asks and Toby nods "come on Maria lets go" my mom says "mom wait" I say "they will explain Blake but I need to go test these to figure out what exactly was given to both of you and if it was one thing or multiple" she says and with that her and Maria leave to go to my moms work to test our pee. All of us then turn to Toby since he apparently had an idea of what happened before anyone else did, this must have been what he told my mom about on the phone that he thought we were on drugs or drugs were in our system because she wouldn't have just randomly brought drug tests with her. "Benzodiazepines also known as benzos are commonly used to spike drinks, usually they are used to knock people out for a little while and then once the person wakes up they tend not to remember anything and as Danny said they can make people lose their memory with continued use" Toby explains. So what I'm hearing is Toby thinks somebody spiked us, but how we had only been at work. "Oh my god" Dylan says "what?" I ask "the tea" Dylan says and suddenly it hits me. Everyone else looks at us confused, "what tea?" Danny asks "at work someone said you hired them because we had been stressed at work and they said they made teas to help people relax" Dylan says "if I got something like that for both of you I would have told you about it" Danny says "well we thought you forgot to tell us since you were going to mom and dads to watch the house and since you had been helping with the issues a lot" Dylan says.

We should have known better but we were so stressed we didn't even think about it and just went along with it. "What type of tea did they say it was?" my dad asks "they said it was a calming chai tea" I say "what color was it and what did it taste like?" Toby asks "it was a brown color and tasted like cinnamon" I say and Dylan nods "shit" Clayton says. Everyone looks at him because clearly he knows something, "what is it dad?" Dylan asks "cinnamon is used to hide poison or alcohol in drink" he says making my face go pale and Dylan's was already pale to begin with. "Also chai tea isn't brown, cinnamon chia tea is a red brown color but regular chai tea is an amber color" Toby says "meaning someone put alcohol in your drinks and then put drugs in it and covered it up with cinnamon" Danny says "meaning they double spiked it since they put both in there without them knowing about it" my dad says. I feel like my head is going to explode, one because of all the information we have just learned and secondly because my head is still pounding. "That means someone got into the inside, or multiple people they could have hired someone to do the tea and then someone else was going through the information" Colton says "I have a feeling why Jacob is here has something to do with it" Danny says and everyone nods agreeing except for Toby which we accidentally forgot about him and we just said that this went along with our work which he doesn't know what our work is.
