Chaos erupted behind the scenes, and as soon as Bruce saw Martin was unharmed, he immediately ran to the back, aiming his camera at the handcuffed Ward and Adam Smith.
Lynch glanced at Bruce and muttered to himself, "How did this piece of trash become a reporter?"
On a mission, he couldn't ask more questions; he carefully opened the pop cans and placed the contraband in the car, while the enforcement recorder documented the whole process.
Lynch had his subordinates lift the faces of Ward and Adam Smith to confirm they weren't their "informants."
When Adam Smith saw the pop cans, his face filled with shock, and he cried out in pain, "These aren't ours! Not ours! You've got the wrong people!"
Ward also said, "They absolutely aren't ours!"
They couldn't help but exchange glances, wondering how the stuff that was supposed to be in Martin's car ended up in theirs?
A DEA agent turned on a UV light and inspected the pop cans: "There are fingerprints on them, easy to identify."
