An unexpected mistake

It was only a small mistake but it changed my life forever. My parents had always told me to say tell the truth wherever I am, but this day I failed them.
I was on the road coming back home from an amazing party and suddenly a police car alarm sounded started. What should I do? - I wondered. My first reaction was to hide the drugs under the seat and stop the engine. Good evening young fellow night boy, Can you go get out of the car, please? – He asked me. He started to search around the car for something, and obviously he discovered what maybe he was probably expecting to find. He was waiting for me after the party. What’s that little rat? - He asked me angrily. It’s salt – I replied. Do you think I’m stupid? - He asked me even much more angrily. In my mind the answer was yes, but my mouth said: No sir, you’re the best civil servant I’ve ever seen. Are you kidding me? You’re going to come with me to research what kind of salt it is - He replied.
Finally they realized discovered it was cocaine and I was sent to jail accused charged with for smuggling and lying the cops. I wonder what would have happened if I hadn’t stopped the car… maybe it that was the mistake.
