Framed For Murder

The Stranger

After a successful escape the three friends stood in the alleyway wondering what they were going to do now  "great now we are fugitives, even though we did shit all" Adam spoke in a stubborn tone before crossing his arms tightly over his chest. Dylan started shrugging and waving his arms unsure on what they could do next, that's when Larry spoke "um...guys what can we do now w-we can't go home" After throwing his arms up in the air signalling that the statement was obvious, Adam turned to Larry with a sarcastic smile, Larry nervously rubbed his hand over the back of his neck causing his raven black hair to move with his hand.

Every second that passed, more emotions came, Adam crossed his arms over his chest before speaking "what we are going to do, we can't just stand here?" the three friends looked at one another in hope that one of them would have a lightbulb moment "Well? anyone got any ideas because if not then there was no fucking point in us escaping!" at tis point Dylan could feel the tension in the atmosphere and tried to calm the situation "You need to calm down Adam because this isn't helping" Jaw clenched with a stern face, Adam snapped and shoved Dylan against the wall that he was leaning against, after shaking his head Dylan shouted in a harsh voice "What the bloody hell was that for?" Adam opened his mouth to speak but he didn't get a chance before a monotone voice was heard from behind them "If you want your freedom to last longer than twenty four hours get in the car" at the end of the alleyway, parked at the side of the road was a black car with tinted windows. The driver's side window was rolled down slightly and the driver of the vehicle wore a black hooded jacket that covered most of his face.

The three friends looked at each other unsure on what to do. Should they reject the assistance from the stranger? or Should they accept the help? So many questions were running through each of the friends head. That's when the figure spoke up again but with an urgent tone "Look, in twelve hours or so they are going to have everyone in the city on look out for you, which means in twenty four hours you could either be back in them cells or helping me figure out who killed your friend Simon its your choice"

All the friends seemed shocked by what he said and the fact he knew their friends name, but after thinking for a couple of seconds Dylan decided for his friends "come on guys think about it, it would be better to go with him" Larry nodded in agreement while Adam still seemed skeptical, but the three boys soon agreed to go with this unknown figure.

Climbing into the car quickly, the boys didn't say a word until the door clicked shut behind them which was when the driver spoke up again "You guys got phones on you?" shaking their heads, all three boys were annoyed that they hadn't got their phones back, but the shady figure just nodded and started to peel the car away from the now deserted alleyway, the way this mysterious guy seemed to be driving could be described as heavy footed because of the way he drove around the corners, he didn't use the car breaks unless he had to, which resulted in the three boys sliding across the back seats crashing into each other.

Until Adam had finally had enough of the dangerous driving "Stop the fucking car now" the driver sighed with disappointment before slowing the car down, but he still continued to drive the car to its destination, just at a speed that could be considered normal, little did the three friends know that the mysterious guy was used to driving like that because of his life.

His emerald green eyes flashed dangerously as he sped the car up so he could make it through the set of lights "Hey, I thought I told you to stop" the driver laughed to himself in response and ignored Adam.

After a while of driving the car had left the city, it was speeding along a main road leading away from the populated area, Larry had his hands pressed against the window as he looked at their surroundings outside of the car, the road weaved through the valley and off into the distance. Somewhere along the road, the car turned off onto a track surrounded by forest.
