Officer Rhonda Kelly frowned, this probably the weirdest interrogation in her whole career as a police officer. Sat across from the 35 years old short-haired brunette police officer was 19 years old skinny boy called John Fisher. The boy sat groggily; his face was full of fear. Well, it was a normal reaction for someone that underwent police interrogation. The weird thing was what started this interrogation in the first place. The boy admitted himself to the police, he pleads guilty for his crime, but his reasoning was quite ridiculous that Rhonda couldn't believe what she heard.
Rhonda was a righteous officer, looking at the young boy, he reminded her of her daughters in the home that was similar in age to him. If he was under duress or forced by someone to be here, she needed to straighten things out. Hence, she played the good cop routine and stayed patient in hearing him out
"So, tell me where you are when the accident happened?"
"I was at my home, to be precise, my bedroom..."
"What did you done in your bedroom at that time?"
"C-can I not answer it, Officer Rhonda?" said the boy with some stutter.
"Well, you have the right to remain silent, but kid, you are the one that pleads guilty here and I am the one that wanted to prove your innocence."
He gulped, trying to clear his throat before he told the pretty officer his confession, "I was...beating my meat and...and there was this sudden jolt...I found myself high among the cloud, I mean it literally, you might think I'm insane and not in the right state of mind, I did think so."
"Tch...youngster this day, are you under any drugs, or psychedelic influences that day?"
"I-it's just...weed." The boy said the word 'weed' with a weak and low voice.
"Well...boy, you wanted to be caught, right? Unfortunately...just now, you avoided a charge of illegal possession of drugs, weed is legal in our state, if it stronger drugs you use, I will not hesitate to send you to prison right away."
"But you still disappointing me, young man, you are in your prime of youth with future ahead, don't fall into the pit of crack!" Rhonda shook her head.
"Sorry..." He put a dry smile on his face, but Rhonda could feel that he was sincere in his apology.
"Okay, please continue..." said the officer.
"This was when the weird thing began, in that literal high in the cloud state, I felt all-powerful and also all-knowing," The boy began to get excited remembering the state he was in, "Well...I'm not sure about the all-knowing part, but then why did I just suddenly knew that there are a big gathering of the city socialites at the charity gala being held last weekend? I even knew who came to the charity gala, isn't it weird that I suddenly know about it? I usually a person that didn't give a shit about it."
"I don't know, maybe you heard about it outside?? the local TV channel and other media broadcasted about it after all."
"No...I swear I didn't hear about it from any media." The young man retorted.
"I understand, let's put the matter regarding how you know about the charity gala aside, your story didn't stop there, right?"
John nodded, "I somewhat felt that my mind was in a state of overdrive, I couldn't control what I thought, my fantasy went unrestrained and wild."
"Of course, you were under the influence of weed," Rhonda said with a hint of mockery.
"I thought; what if the snobbish and uppity rich socialites were actually deranged whore and hooker without an ounce of self-respect that secretly sold their body without their husband knowing." John retold his fantasy, "What if that their true nature finally got revealed in that night charity gala and now they end up as real cheap hooker in the street that even a homeless could afford them."
"And the next morning, it was a shocking surprise for me to found out the news that they are running a prostitution ring and whore themselves, is it a coincidence?" the boy shook his head, "I think not, I thought that I was somehow changing them."
"Kid, your fantasy was a bit over the top." Rhonda shook her head, she never imagined that his fantasy was like that.
Patience Rhonda! Patience!
"Was there anyone at home aside from you at that time?"
"There was my mother and my sister."
"Did your mother and your sister knew that you are in your bedroom at that time?"
"Uhmm...Yes?"
"This means you have a solid alibi here!"
"At that time, you weren't present at the charity gala's place but was in your home, putting aside the matter of your fantasy, there was no contact or connection of some sort between you and the charity gala," Rhonda explained, "Your fantasy wasn't strong proof, our law didn't regard people's fantasy as one of legitimate proof to arrest someone."
"So, I assure you that you are completely innocent in this case, there is no way you did it!" Rhonda said emphasizing the word 'No Way'.
"You can't do this to me, officer! I was responsible for what was happened, you don't expect me to have this lingering guilty conscience forever, are you?"
"Boy, Are there someone forcing you or threatening you? Blink twice if the answer is yes, the police will guarantee your safety," Rhonda asked, she was wondering why did this guy really stubborn to pleas that he was guilty of his fantasies.
The boy shook his head to deny it and claimed that no one was forcing him. Rhonda sighed in exasperation; this was harder than what she was expecting.
"Hear me first, boy, if you insist to be punished and feeling guilty because of your wild fantasy, my punishment for you is that you must go to a shrink for some rehabilitation therapy."
"But..."
"There's no but, young man! You have a severe case of delusion here! I said it again that you..." Rhonda pointed her finger at the boy, "Aren't the one that responsible for what happened at the charity gala."
"Shit, I don't want to do this, but let me break some rules for you," Officer Rhonda moved toward the cabinet located at the corner of the room. She returned to confront the delusional teenager after she took a thick brown folder from the cabinet.
"The documents here contain information the police department had gathered regarding the prostitution case."
"You see how thick this folder? If I accept the notion that you somewhat magically change all women that present at the charity gala, it will demean what my colleagues and I did so far."
Officer Rhonda shorted through the documents and singled out a few of them.
"Let's start with this one; this one is a report for the socialite, Paula Castor."
"Paula Castor, 39 years old, a pretty wife of Richard Castor, one of prominent businessman of the city and old money." She showed him two pictures, one with the woman in mention dressed elegantly, one with her dressed skimpily, few tattoos like tramp stamp and others vulgar ones could be found around her body
"According to our investigation, she did her vulgar tattoos a long time before the charity gala but she cleverly hides it without her husband ever knew it."
"Her frequent appearance at a charity with her socialites' circles were just a front for their work as whores, she had admitted that she and her circle had been doing this for long while, we just never knew it before, you know how money can cover dirty deeds of people."
"Now the question, about your fantasy, whether that night is the first time you have the fantasy about those rich uppity whores or not?"
"Yes officer, that was my first time."
"See, the timeline wasn't matching either, they had been on this business for long times and you just had those fantasies of yours last week."
"So, worry not, their behavior and what happened at the charity gala's was not due to your spontaneous fantasy."
"What if the change was somewhat retroactive?"
Officer Rhonda facepalmed, she finally lost her patience against this stubborn boy, she wanted to send him away, but it's also didn't seem to sit right on the righteous officer's mind.
"Boy, did your mother never told you that you are such thick-headed? I never met someone that wanted to admit guilty as persistent as you." The policewoman remarked.
"So, let's us resort to this then, change me! Can you do it? If you really changed those socialites, you should be able to do it again to me."
"Is it fine with you? What if that I accidentally transform you to be a whore?"
"It's alright, if you have some kind of power, you ought to learn how to control it."
