Billy sat in the FBI cell with his attorney who said it was not looking good
THE FBI found DNA from the dead undercover agent on you and Bobby
You have Both been charged with murder and their case is solid
I could negotiate a plea bargain if you plead guilty and agree to cooperate with the FBI
Others you are facing the death penalty and will end up being recycled
Billy shook his head in defiance saying I am innocent and so is Bobby
The robbers killed that agent and Bobby even tried to help
The attorney shook his head and collected his papers leaving Billy alone
Billy was determined to fight his innocence all the way
He retraced in his mind every single moment leading up to the robbery
Trying to remember every word that was said and everything he saw there
He requested his attorney to visit him again
Billy told him he remembered one of the robbers was taking pictures with a cell phone
Presumably to record details how how much wine they were taking
We have to find those pictures to prove our innocence said Billy
His attorney confirmed that a cell phone was recovered from the robbers
But there were no photographs because the phone had been wiped clean
I know somebody who could trace those photos said Billy
His name is Hugo and he lives in a wine cellar in Potomac
I spent a few years in that wine rack alongside Hugo
Every evening he jumps off the rack and uses the home computer network
Hugo is an expert hacker who can find anything on the internet
You have to go tell Hugo that I need his help
The attorney visited Hugo who listened intensely and agreed to help
Give me twenty four hours said Hugo and I will find the photos for Billy
Just give me the exact location of the vineyard where this all took place
That night Hugo was able to trace the nearest cell towers
He wrote a program to analyze all the traffic from those towers on that day
When the attorney came back the next day Hugo handed him the photos
The robber had texted the photos to his crime boss before wiping the phone clean
You can clearly see the agent being knocked off the table by the robbers
Billy was set free after his attorney gave the photos to the FBI
But Bobby and the Bordeaux brigade of bottles were not released
Under federal law only bottles of US citizenship can be refilled
All other bottles had to go to recycling so Bobby and his gang were all doomed
Billy however was not ready to give up on his friend and hatched another plan
He wrote to the President of the United States requesting clemency for his friends
Billy was taken back at the vineyard for rebottling and he prayed for a miracle
A few weeks later Bobby and the Bordeaux gang showed up
Their French labels were all covered in stamps from US immigration
Each of them was holding a US citizenship certificate after renouncing French citizenship
Bobby hugged Billy and thanked him for saving them all
Billy told Bobby it was time he dropped his dumb French accent
Soon you will be full of Virginia wine so get used to being an American he added
Maybe we can watch the nascar race on TV later and then shoot some pool
C’est magnifique replied Bobby with a wincing smile as he gave Billy a big high five
