Faded (Minishaw)

Ch. 15

- trial-

-Simon's POV-

I'm scared, the first day on trial, I'm only a witness but I'm nervous as hell for this, I want Harry with me, he is the only one who could calm me down now. Thankfully I don't have to appear in the court room, I get interviewed in a room behind and then they show that live in the courtroom, but they don't show me, there is just a black screen and then my voice is changed as this is a huge gang they can't see my face or hear my real voice or they might come after me, the police have made that perfectly clear for me. I'm in danger.

"Conor are you ready for this"

"yeah, as ready as I will ever be"

"good" the judge says to me and then we start

"do you Conor Shaw swear to tell the truth, the hole and nothing but the truth" I get asked. I can't help but smile on the inside, this is like a proper TV show now.

"I do" I say

We then start, I'm asked about how I found out about it and what I know about the operation, who is behind it. I don't know everything but I know that my former boss is one off the leaders and most off the guys that I had worked with were in on it. I got to watch the rest off the trial from the back room and it was interesting to say the least, I was told to be a liar and all sorts off things by there lawyers. They are just trying to win. Then the undercover cop George was called up, I was most interested in what he had to say.

"so how long did you work there?" he got asked

"for about 8 months"

"and how long after you started was your first side job"

"I started stripping cars after I had been there for almost a month, He asked me if I wanted some extra work for better money"

"and now much did one job pay?"

"about 300-1000 pounds, depended on a lot off things, model, how rare they are and how much they cost on the market"

"and how do you get the cars"

"there are separate people that steal them, I kept a record off every single plate number that I stripped"

"and how many cars could you strip a week"

"about 3-4 cars a week."

I was there the hole day, many interesting things came to light and I was kinda shocked off how dumb I was that I had not relished sooner what had been going on. I had been there for over a year. I also learned that this trial is far from over, I will have to go back there in a week so they can ask me more questions, I don't know what more they can ask me, I've already told them everything I know. I hate this, I really hate this.

"We will kill you, you little shit" I remember my boss yelling at me as I ran away.
