Here is chapter 6. Enjoy:)
The next day at the Dinoco business, the police were back. This time, there were 100 officers that responded. Cruz felt very uncomfortable about the police searching the building. She couldn't imagine that anyone on Team Dinoco would do a horrible thing. However, the police had the right to search the building and Cruz had to deal with it wether she liked it or not. Lightning didn't like it himself. He hoped that the police weren't suspecting that Tex had done it. He knew very well that Tex would not do something like this. Just then, Strip Weathers aka "The King" and his nephew, Cal entered the building after getting permission from the police. They couldn't believe how many officers were there.
"What the heck is this?" asked Strip.
"Don't tell me their accusing Tex of doing this crime." replied Cal.
"That is just insane." replied Lightning. "Tex wouldn't commit a crime. All of us know that for sure."
Cruz knew she had to trust Lightning. She had to and had no choice. Even though she had only been with Tex for a year, there was a lot of evidence that proved Tex didn't do it. He was nice, funny, kind, caring, supportive, and selfless for a billionaire. He didn't even judge her that she was a girl and she appreciated that she wasn't mocked. She was being treated right and fairly. Whenever she needed time off she got it. Cruz really hoped that Tex would not be accused of this crime.
"Why are they searching through my folders?" asked Strip. "I'm not on this team anymore."
Tex drove over to where Strip was.
"Don't ever say your not on this team anymore. Do you hear me?" asked Tex.
"Yes sir. I'm sorry sir." replied Strip.
"Even though you don't race for me anymore, your still our golden boy." replied Tex. Strip couldn't help but smile at his friend. For many years he loved working with Tex. But he didn't think Tex would want to remember him since he was an ancient piece of history. He liked Tex's personality. He didn't underestimate anyone. He didn't mistreat anyone on his team, and he didn't care about how much money he made. His personality was funny, caring, loyal, supportive, kind, and a lot more. Most sponsors always forgot about their racers in the past. But for Tex, every racer especially Strip he would always remember. Then one of the officers drove towards Tex.
"Everything is clear." replied Officer Ramos.
"Ok. Thank you." replied Tex and all of the officers left the building. Marshall later on returned.
"Anything new?" asked Tex. Marshall shook his head.
"No. But I think we've got everything we need to start investigating."
"What about the weapon?" asked Cruz. "You need to find the weapon in order to get the fingerprints and DNA. It'll lead you to the killer." Tex glanced at Cruz.
"I'm going to have to have the police do another search warrant. Because we still haven't found it yet so Tex you'll have to endure it again I'm afraid." replied Marshall, and he left. After he left, Tex turned to Cruz.
"Cruz, what did I say about getting involved in these crimes?" asked Tex.
"I'm not getting involved. I'm just asking because no one seemed to find it." replied Cruz. "Sheesh."
Tex began to glare at her. He never liked being mistreated or not being respected. Cruz saw him glaring at her and finally gave up.
"Sorry sir." replied Cruz and she drove back to her desk.
