                   After their arrest, Amy and Matt explained everything to
                   the police, but nobody believed their story. That night they
                    were in different rooms of the prison. Amy was scared and
                    she couldn't sleep.  'What's going to  happen  to us?' she
                    thought. 'What's Sharon going to do when she finds out?
                   What's going to happen to our friends? What are my mom

                    and dad going to say?'
                     The next morning, a policeman took  Amy to a sunny
                    room with big windows. Matt was there. He was happy to
                    see Amy, but he was worried.
                     'OK. Stay here,' said the policeman, and he left.                        'Hello?' Jessica answered.
                     'I don't understand,' said Matt. 'Why are we here?'                      'Hello. Is this Jessica Lawson?'
                     'Yes, it's strange. Maybe our families are coming to visit               'Yes?'
                    us.'                                                                      'Hi, Jessica. I write for the Daily News. How do you feel
                     'But Sharon and the others said-'                                       about the arrest of your two friends?'
                     'Oh, don't talk about it, NJ:att. I don't want to think about             'What? How did you get my number?'
                    those people.'           .l                                               'Tell me Jessica, were Matt and Amy drug traffickers or
                     'OK, Amy, but we did_nbthing wrong. The police don't                    did someone put the drugs in their bags?'
                    believe that. So what can we say to them? We don't want                    'Look, I  don't  want  to  talle  to  you.  Goodbye!' Angrily,
                    to sleep here for a second night.'                                       Jessica threw the phone down.
                      'No! I want to sleep for a week- but not here!'                          A minute later, it rang again.
                     Just then, they heard a noise. The door opened and a                      'Hello?'
