Short Story: Nico Roache
Nico Roache woke up behind bars. He didn’t know how he ended there.
“Hello. Is anyone there?” said Nico as he got out of his bed. His legs gave out from under him, and he landed back on the bed because of a horrible pain coming from the back of his head. An angry cop walked through a door outside his cell.
“What do you want?” said the cop with annoyance in his voice.
“Why am I locked up?”
“Because we found you at a bank that got robbed with a gun laying beside you last night. Now shut up because it’s three in the morning and I’d rather be sleeping than dealing with you right now.” said the cop as he walked back through the doorway and shut the door.

“Yeah, I think he lived in the building, but I’m not sure if he was there last night.”
Fred left in a hurry to get to the police station and talk to Nico. When he got there, he went straight to Nico’s cell.
“Nico, I want you to think really hard about this. Is there anyone you know who would be able and wants to rob a bank and frame you?” A lot of people didn’t like Nico but there were only two who hated him enough to send him to jail for life.
“Garry Irving and Homer Carpenter, but I know Homer is into guns.” said Nico with some hope of getting out. Fred looked up Homer’s address and drove as fast as he could there. Homerlived in the mountains in a cabin by himself. When Fred got there, Homer opened the door and Fred told him that he needed to search his house. Fred looked around and found a bag full of money.
“Homer you’re under arrest.”
“I swear I have no idea how that got
