Vindicate

CHAPTER 3

Denzel searched the busy streets and found an all too familiar car. She hastened over and got into it.

"Took you long enough.", a boy of about 19 muttered.

"You didn't escape from the police so why are you the one complaining, Dre?", Denzel retorted.

"Thanks for the help anyway."

"My pleasure."

"Now let's get out of here."

The car sped away leaving the police building a blur in the back. Five minutes into the cruise, Dre said "There are some clothes in the back seat. Please put them on as you are seriously blinding my virgin eyes."

Whacking him on the head, she said "I'm sure your eyes have seen more skin than I'm revealing here."

"Hehehehe.....True that and even better."

"Shut up."

Stopping by a nearby alley, Denzel got down to change. She was busy struggling into a pair of jeans that wouldn't just fit when Dre hollered "Yo Zee! Are you giving birth or something? It's been 15 minutes already."

"Well I would have been out earlier if it hadn't been for these jeans. Did you buy them at a toddlers shop or something?" she answered.

"Perhaps you have just grown fatter. All that ice cream you been cramming was bound to make itself known eventually." Dre said.

"Hey! Don't blame the ice cream!" she grunted as she was finally able to fit into the jeans. She stepped out of the darkness and entered the car.

"You look constipated." Dre shot out.

"Shut up" was Denzel's smart reply.

"So, I guess you have some questions." Dre said, breaking the silence that had taken over the drive.

"More like just a question. What is going on here?" she asked.

"Well as you probably know, you were arrested for attempted murder of some random woman and theft."

"We all know that is not true! I don't even know who the hell that woman was!" Denzel exclaimed.

"Stop interrupting me and listen. Of course you didn't commit the crime but someone did using your name." he said bluntly.

For a moment,Denzel was shocked. Someone was framing her?? The sad thing was that she had a long list of people who would probably want to see her in jail right now but which one of them had the guts to actually do this?

"I don't know who the bad guy is but I managed to find out that soon after the robbery was committed, an anonymous tip was sent to the cops on your residence leading to your arrest." he continued.

After some time had past with Denzel trying to digest the information she had just received, Dre asked "What are you going to do about it?"

"Honestly speaking, I don't know. I'm sure the cops are doing everything possible to find me right now but I have to do something to prove my innocence as soon as possible. "she answered.

"Wait a minute...............I think I have a plan." Dre blurted out. Denzel was quite wary at this for all of Dre's plans always landed them into trouble.

"Go on."

"It's going to sound really crazy and all but please hear me out okay?"

Denzel raised an eyebrow at this but urged him to carry on. "How about you work with the cops on this one? That way you will be able to find out the brain behind this madness and also keep tabs on the activities of the police thus keeping you safe." he said.

"What!! Please tell me you are just joking. There is no way I'm going to work with those good for nothing philistines. That's just absurd."

"But look on the brighter side of this thing. Think of the benefits that we will gain from it. It would be a win-win situation with us getting more. Come on!"

Denzel was still adamant on working with the cops. Past history clearly showed that she didn't just click with those people. She was just too awesome for them to handle. However Dre was relentless and determined.

After a series of coaxing and persuasions ,Denzel finally agreed to do it. "However, if this plan backfires. I am blaming it all on you." she warned as they drove into their new residence.

"Don't worry. Everything is going to work out perfectly."he reassured.

"So what's the plan?"
