The Testimony

Description of the Interviewed

The interviewee is named Lars Maxwell. He is a fifteen year old university student of [REDACTED]. He was born and raised in the US until two years earlier where he moved to Tokyo due to being unable to afford rent and numerous other financial issues. He only lives with his parents, who work mundane jobs and earn money just above poverty level. Despite having normal parents, he was gifted the power to read an inanimate object's memories. How much or what he sees depends on how hard and where he touches said object.

So far, 22% of the world population has powers like him. In case the reader hasn't studied basic history, some humans began to have powers due to an awry experiment conducted by germans in world war 2 in an attempt to gain the edge in war. The Japanese did the same with different kinds of powers, and followed by Americans.

The year is now 2013, super-powered beings are have enlisted to become professional heroes and roam in nearly every country ever since the early 2000s. Crime has gone down steadily worldwide but not wiped out yet. There are certain illegal acts you can't exactly erase with powers alone, and one of them is street racing.

Ever since he was fifteen, Lars had a passion for drag racing. Although, he had to keep it a secret from his parents.

Thanks to drag racing every night, Lars had made a steady amount of cash, to help pay for rent, his school tuition and tuning his car. His main racing car is a Mitsubishi Evo X FQ-440. He says that he sold his old Mazda RX-8 and combined his savings from his racing awards. He managed to scrap together more than ¥10,000,000 and bought one of the 40 models of the FQ-440. Even from street racing, that amount of yen was a bit suspicious.

His powers were a secret, no one except Lars, the suspect and I knows he even has powers. This concludes his introduction.

The purpose of this documentation is to record the testimony of an accomplice of a street racer who was responsible for multiple counts of manslaughter, second degree manslaughter, first degree murder, possession of firearms while underage, masses of unpaid speeding tickets and illegal money laundering.

These are his recollections of the days he had encountered the suspect.
