"Think I’m scared of getting arrested?" Odie tried to pull his hand away, but Sophie stubbornly held on, not giving him a chance to escape.
Finally, Odie couldn’t take it anymore and said, "Alright! I won’t run!"
The police were already close. What good would running do now? Would he just end up getting caught again and looking even more foolish?
Seeing that Odie had given up, Sophie let go of him and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Odie, for your understanding."
This time, Mr. Schuldt took matters into his own hands. Within moments, he initiated a show of force. The six individuals, no matter how tough they seemed, were no match for the police. Quickly, they were all loaded into the police car.
When it was Odie's turn, Mr. Schuldt glanced at Sophie and said, "This Mr. Odie…"
Sophie chimed in, "Mr. Odie is a witness this time, helping out our Devonport police to clear his name. Isn’t that touching, Mr. Schuldt?"
"Thank you, Mr. Odie! Truly, thank you!" Mr. Schuldt gave Odie a nod of gratitude but quickly looked troubled. "However, since Mr. Odie is a witness, he still needs to come back to the station for some questioning. It’s a bit of a hassle, but I think someone as generous and noble as Mr. Odie wouldn’t mind, right?"
"I…"
"Mr. Odie, right this way, please!"
Before Odie could respond, Mr. Schuldt was already guiding him towards the police car.
Odie, with a sour expression, glanced sideways at Sophie. Sophie, however, looked back innocently and said, "Mr. Odie, why are you staring at me like that? It’s just a statement, not an arrest!"
