Framed
Chapter 3
By Son of the Specter 992
Rachel explained everything to Harley. It took about an hour because she kept breaking out into tears. By the time she finished, Harley was done with his fourth cup of coffee.
"So your saying that Kudo didn't do it and that you want me to help prove his innocence, is that correct?" Harley asked after Rachel ended her seemingly endless story.
Rachel only nodded. Tears started to fill her eyes again. This time Harley was prepared. While ordering his third cup of coffee he had asked for a box of tissues. He immediately offered one to Rachel. She accepted it and blew her nose in it.
"Well, it would be a cool idea, best detective in the east saved by best in the west. Okay Rachel, I'll do it. I'm going to need a record of every case that Kudo has ever handled. I'll meet you at your father's agency." Rachel nodded and ran off to Jimmy's house. Harley got up, paid the check, got into his car, and drove off to the prison that Jimmy was being held.
When he finally got there he was greeted warmly. He was well known at the prison. He requested to see Jimmy and was led into an interrogation room. Jimmy was brought in a few minutes later. He looked at Harley with a 'what are you doing here' look.
"What are you doing here Harley, come to laugh in my face?" Jimmy asked before the guard had the chance to remove the handcuffs.
"Relax Kudo; I'm here because your girlfriend asked me to help your case so I figured that I would see you before I looked at your case logs. I've always wondered this, how's the food?"
"Oh, ha-ha Harley! What do you mean 'look at my case logs'?" Jimmy responded.
"Your girlfriend asked me to help clear your name but before I go figure out which of your enemies did this I needed to come ask you yourself if you did it. Did you?"
"Harley, I've told Rachel, I've told the guard, and I've been telling Inspector Worthington, I didn't kill anyone."
"You know what Kudo, I believe you."
"Is that because you looked at my polygraph results?"
"That too but still I think you're innocent. I've got to go. I promised that I would meet your girlfriend at her place to figure out who's framing you."
"Well thanks Harley but I've got one thing to say."
"Oh, what's that?"
"RACHEL IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" Jimmy screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Yikes, okay Kudo. Fine, I'll see you later, hopefully not in here though."
