The weekend has passed quickly and soon Monday arrived, it was university time again
Sara did not talk to her friends after what happened at the bar because they will ask a lot of questions and she didn't have the answers
That morning, like every other, Sara dressed up for her courses and got downstairs to take breakfast with her family
But no! This morning wasn't going to be like any other!
As soon as the Ross family sat down for breakfast, the doorbell rang
For their surprise, it was the police! Jack was shocked, he never had problems with the laws before
Police man:" Who is Mr Jack Ross?"
Jack:" It's me officer, is there any problem?"
Police man:" You need to come with us please, there a few things to clarify."
Cassandre:" Can you please tell us what are you blaming my husband for?"
Police man:" They will tell you everything in the police station, now we should go Mr Ross"
Cassandre:" I will call the lawyer and go after you honey"
Jack:" Samuel you are the elder one, you have to take your responsibility towards the family son, take care of them and yourself!"
Then, the officer handcuffed him and took him to the car
Cassandre left to join her husband and comfort him
The three boys did not say a word, Sara was in tears and no one had understood what has happened
Samuel remember his father's words then and he told his siblings:
" I know that will not going to be easy but our father needs us, and he want us to be strong and support each other and that'show we will survive anything! Everyone will continue to live his normal life until he returns; Sara and Steve you will go to your classes and Simon and I will go to work. I need you guys to have faith and patience, our father will be soon out of it"
After hearing this, Sara wipped her tears took her bag and left
Once in her university she tried to hide as much as she can her sadness, but her friends know her very well
They knew that there something happened to her
Julia:" What is the matter Sara? Why are you so silent, you haven't said a word all day!"
Kelly:" Yes, why are you so calm suddenly? Don't you wanna talk about your crush on the bad boy at the bar"
They both laughed, but then noticed that tears filled up Sara's eyes and run down her face
Julia:" Honey what's going on? You know you can trust us right? We may be able to help you, please tell us what happened!"
Sara explained everything to her best friends
Kelly:" we are so sorry love, your father is a good man, they will have nothing to reproach him for. All of this must certainly be a mistake you will see."
Julia:" Of course it's a mistake, and soon he will be out but the most important thing to you is to be strong and patient. And remember we will always be here for you."
Sara:" I love you girls. Group hug!"
Meanwhile at the police station
The lawyer came to tell Cassandre about the bad news
Lawyer Adam:" Authorities discovered suspicious activities in Mr Jack's work, but they are not sure yet. They will keep him under surveillance until they finish their investigations"
Cassandre:" Is there any way to get him out of jail before the end of the investigations?"
Lawyer Adam:" Of course, if you pay the guarantee he is free to go. But I'm afraid you can't afford it Mrs Ross, all your bank accounts have been frozen as well as your properties."
Cassandre:" What is that supposed to mean Adam?
Lawyer Adam:" It means that you have no right to sell or rent any of your properties and you can't use your credit cards anymore."
Cassandre came back home depressed and disappointed, she didn't know how to tell her children about this disaster
All she wanted was to give them a happy life and never let them need anything or anyone, but now she could no longer feed them
During dinner she decided that it was the time to tell them everything
It was very hard to talk about it since it would turn their lives upside down
But other surprise, her children were very comprehensive and they all decided to find work tomorrow morning
Cassandre was so proud that she had tears in her eyes
That night no one could sleep
Sara was thinking what kind of job she could get, so was her brothers
They didn't have to work until then, but they were determined on helping their mother and father...
