Midnight: First Race

Chapter 13: Confidential

Chris

I had a good time teaching Nadia the first steps to driving, we hadn't been close to each other lately and it mostly had to do with mom's death

It wasn't like I wanted to talk about her death because it was hard for all of us, so I dealt with it by street racing and that started with getting my driver's license.

Dad forbid me but I didn't care, I wasn't gonna get myself into a car accident and neither is Nadia

Just what was Dad gonna do? Prevent Nadia from driving no matter what? She's gonna have to learn eventually and it's better if I teach me considering how I've never been in a car accident before

Nadia was an absolute natural on the wheel, she really looked like she knew what she was doing, I guess I had nothing to worry about

Right now, I was meeting up with the crew, Tyson says he thinks he might have found the informant that almost got us all thrown in prison

What I wanted to know was how the hell did this guy know about our meeting with the Jamesons?

No one but us knew about the meeting spot and as a result, Dad almost found our about my secret

So I needed to have a few words with this informant

But it looked like he didn't know the names and faces of the Midnight Racers

This guy almost blew everything for us aside from us not getting our cash, this secret informant almost got us all thrown in jail and my dad would've found out

We're not gonna kill this guy, that's too far, even for us but we sure as well can't let him keep informing my dad about our meeting spots

I made it back to the garage and just in time for the meeting

"Alright, now that you're all here, let's get down to business" Tyson said

"You find out who this informant is?" Ryder asked

Tyson nodded
"Yes, his name is Justin Sawyer"

Tyson pulled out a photo and placed it on the table

"It would appear that Sawyer has been acting as an agent of the police ever since he was in prison, Detective Tennyson cut a deal with him prior" Tyson said

"What was he in for?" I asked

"Armed robbery"

"So the cops flipped him, gave him a deal, says here he was in a robbery crew and Detective Tennyson convinced him to turn on his crew"

"I remember hearing about that case, Dad accidentally left the case file open so I looked at it, Dad managed to reduce Sawyer's sentence down to just armed robbery"

"And in exchange, Sawyer agreed to become Miami PD's CI" Ryder said

"But that doesn't explain how he knew about our meeting spot with the Jameson brothers" Akira pointed out

"He must've went around and asked questions until he found out about our meeting, but now we must deal with him"

"We're not gonna kill him, right?"

I looked at Ryder, I knew that at least one other person in this room also wouldn't agree with killing his guy

Everyone looked at me before Ryder spoke up

"He's got a point, are we gonna kill Sawyer?"

"Of course not, that would be too far even for us, we're simply going to make sure he can't mess things up for us anymore, we will be sending Mr Sawyer back to his prison cell"

".....the hell are you talking about?" Akira questioned

"Yeah, you're not really making a lot of sense here" Mia chimed in

Me and Ryder looked at each other, we both knew what Tyson was really saying

He wanted to set Justin Sawyer up and frame him for a crime so that he'd go to jail, if he was convicted and sent to prison again then he would lose his credibility as confidential informant, no one would even glance at him

Wasn't sure I liked this idea any better but it was better than killing him, I certainly didn't want this guy's death on my conscience

I'll just have to live with knowing that there's a innocent man in prison on my conscience

"You wanna frame him" I spoke

As I said those words, Akira and even Mia looked at a loss for words

"You being serious, old man" Akira asked

"If you want out then feel free to leave, I certainly won't stop you"

Akira remained silent, he didn't have any objections but he just stood there and chose to keep his mouth shut

"So how exactly are we gonna get this guy?" Mia asked

"All we have to do is recreate the last robbery that Sawyer was a part of and after we do that, we will make sure ghat all the evidence points to him so Detective Tennyson will arrest his own confidential informant"

This is insane but I guess it needed to be done

"So if we're gonna set this guy up, how are we gonna do it?" Akira asked

"We'll do it tonight, Sawyer's crew robbed convient stores which is exactly what we'll do, we will perform the crime exactly as his crew did which will point suspicion towards Sawyer"

We all looked at each other

There was no good back after this

We were gonna set up an innocent man just to save ourselves and I have to live with that

A/N

So yeah, this is the shortest chapter so far lol I didn't have anything planned for this chapter so I just made it pretty short and also I've been really sick which is why I didn't update last week

But don't worry, my spring break is right around the corner and so I'll have more time to write, things will pick up in the next chapter and hopefully it'll be a longer chapter. I don't know how long this story will be but I don't see it ending anytime soon, my hope is for it to be finished by May but we'll have see 😊😊😊😊
