Lightning, Cal, Strip, Lynda, and Cruz arrived at the studio for RSN. Shannon, Darrell, and Kori were waiting for them. They were going to interview them about what they thought of Tex being accused of the murder even though they probably knew the answer from all of them.

"Lightning and Cal, your going to go with Kori." replied a camera man.

"Strip and Lynda. You'll go with Shannon." replied another director.

"And Cruz, you'll go with Darrell." replied one security officer.

After everyone was assigned to where they were going to go, they were taken into separate rooms and would be interviewed. Strip hated being interviewed. Whenever he was selected, it would always appear on TV and radio and he hated it. But he knew it was for Tex and he had to prove he was innocent so he took the interview option.

Lightning and Cal's interview with Kori

Lightning and Cal were the first to be interviewed. Kori parked across from the two racers and they parked next to each other. The camera began to roll.

"Lightning. We know you work for Tex and that he's accused of the crime what do you think of this?" asked Kori.

"Tex obviously didn't do this crime. And even though I've only been working with him for a year, I know him a lot more than the police. He's a hard worker, he's a great business man, he takes care of his staff, his employees and everyone else. I just don't see how he commited this crime. And I don't care what anyone thinks." replied Lightning. After the camera finished recording his statement, Kori went to Cal.

"Cal, you only worked for Tex within 10 years. And unlike your uncle who knew him longer, do you think the police are wrong and if so, what do you think they should work on?"

"I think the police need to check for evidence a lot more. I know they found a lot of it in his business but for some reason, I feel that it wasn't there throughout the entire time. I want the police to look into it more because I know there is something wrong and i know Tex didn't do this crime."

"What do you think everyone else is saying about the news?" asked Kori.

"I feel that all the fans are supporting us through this hard time. I know for Cruz its hard but I promise that we will try to get back on track as soon as possible. As for all the fans, I'd like to thank all of you for supporting us and standing up for Tex."

Strip and Lynda's interview with Shannon Spokes

Strip and Lynda were ready to be interviewed. Strip didn't like it though because they would always be shown on TV, but he knew this was for his friend and he had to take some part in the mess.

"Strip, we'll start with you." replied Shannon. Strip nodded in agreement and Shannon asked her first question.

"As Dinoco's golden boy, you have known Tex for a long time. How do you feel about your former sponsor and a close friend of yours being claimed responsible for this murder?"

"It makes me feel shocked and upset because I have been with him for over 20 years and he has never committed any crime like this or committed a bad thing. He has a caring personality and he loves all of his staff members. I know everyone that has been with us for the past few weeks has been showing us support and I want to thank everyone that has been staying by all of us. I know Cruz is going through a hard time between losing her close friend and now having to deal with her sponsor gone, i feel that this team will need a lot of support and we appreciate the support everyone is giving us."

"How has everyone been affected by this shocking news?" asked Shannon.

"Everyone has a different point of view. Mostly its the haters that are saying he committed the crime. The fans though disagree and as everyone else has been saying I have a feeling that the weapon and the notes were not in that spot all throughout the entire time. I think someone else put it there." replied Strip.

Shannon nodded, then began to ask Lynda questions. Lynda was ready for her first question and would do her best to not cry on camera.

"As a known worker to Tex and a close friend to him, you've seen how he is with the staff, your husband, the other racers, and the other sponsors. Do you think the police are accusing the wrong car for this murder?"

"I think the police are. I know everyone is going to say that all the evidence was found in our building, but as my husband said I have a feeling the items were not there all along, but no one knows for sure. I actually don't believe the police because Tex never did anything bad and he never committed a crime. It makes feel hurt because everyone is saying that Tex is a criminal and I don't want to believe it, and I know everyone else on the team doesn't want to believe it at all. Cruz is going through a lot now between losing her friend and having her sponsor gone, we have to stick together through this hard time and trust that it will be a mistake later on."

"How do you see yourself in this mess along with everyone else?" asked Shannon.

"Well as a long close friend to Tex, I can't understand why he ism being accused of the crime but I see myself as someone who wants to help prove that he is innocent, but I can't prove it because I'm not a lawyer. I just think the team needs all the support they can get and everyone should just stick close to one another."

Cruz's interview with Darrell

Cruz was ready for her interview. Earlier she was crying and wanted to go last so she wouldn't feel the need to rush through even through Darrell told her a few times to not rush and take her time.

"Cruz, I know this is a hard time for you so I'll only ask you a couple of questions." replied Darrell. Cruz nodded in agreement and Darrell asked his first question.

"As a racer for Dinoco, you've only been here for a year. How did it make you feel when you saw your sponsor being taken away by the police?"

Cruz remained silent for a while. She began to cry a little and began to answer.

"He didn't commit this crime I know he didn't. He is loyal to me and takes care of me. He loves his staff, he treats them well, and he cares about everyone. It makes me feel robbed and it also makes me feel that Tex is a criminal and its being spread all over the place. I know he's not a criminal and I want to prove he's innocent, and I can. Poppy was my best friend and her murder makes me feel crushed and robbed, but what hurts me the most is that everyone thinks Tex did the crime and he didn't."

"Do you think the notes and the murder weapon were in Tex's desk all along?" asked Darrell.

"No. I think someone framed Tex and I can prove he didn't commit the crime." replied Cruz.

Cruz's response about Tex being framed for the murder surprised Darrell. Later on that night, everyone's interviews were on TV. When Cruz's interview came up, everyone froze when she said that someone framed Tex.

"Someone framed Tex?" asked Lynda.

"Those notes were not in there including the gun. Someone else put them in there to make it look like Tex did it and now I'm going to find out who really is behind the crime and prove that my sponsor is innocent." replied Cruz.
