The New York Oil Mystery By Samira Razek “I never would have thought that the criminal who is stealing oil from underground would be in the hands of our institute!” said Bronard. “And it’s not looking too good for you, new guy!” he said pointing at Vincent laughing. Vince responds with a smile. Vince is our newest investigator here in New York’s crime solving institution. Today, I am going down into the sewers to investigate the oil thief case along with Bronard. I am lucky to have him going with me, he has not let me down once yet! Later I investigate a cup of coffee, return home, and quickly dose off. In the morning I try to memorize the feeling of being above ground, and the sun at my back as I ready myself and cautiously climb down the sewer ladder. And of course with Gary Bronard right next to me. The wretched smell of the sewer makes me quiver, but I pull myself together and quietly move forward until we reach two different tunnels. “Maybe we should split, I will take the left,” I said. “No, I think the right looks...uh....safer. I will take the left.” “Alright if you say so...” I agree. That was strange. Gary seems a bit suspicious today, but I have trusted him with my life before so I guess it does not matter. All thoughts of Gary being the culprit vanish when I am encaged in a weaved contraption and see Vince ahead of me. Not only does he already look lethal with his height radiating two feet above my head, but he also holds a knife! He continues to approach me, speechless for a moment, I find myself and then say, “Vince put the weapon down, you don’t know what your doing!” All he does is move his finger over his lips until Bronard darts through the door and knocks Vince unconscious with the hilt of his gun. I just sit there trying to put things together when I am released from the trap and spring off the cold, damp sewer floor. “Thank you so much Gary, I owe you one.” I said relieved and then climb out of the trap. “You just don’t get it do you?” I stare at him puzzled and helpless with my gun lying across the room floor. “I am the one you want! I framed the new employee, innocent Vince!” “Why would you do such a thing?” “Because, I want to get out of this stupid place! I have been trapped here due to money problems, but now once I collect all this oil, I can finally pay off my debts and move out of this town!” I reach for the pepper spray in my back pocket, but am caught by his huge hands disarming me and knocking me out just the way he did to Vince. The last thing I see is the floor of the sewers.....     I wake up in the hospital and just sit there until Vince walks over with a file in his hands. “Hey, Vince, what happened?” Still puzzled with a throbbing head, I watch Vince sit next to me on a chair. “ Don’t worry, after you blacked out I woke up and used your gun to convince Bronard to step down. Then I called the agency and they took care of him. He will be on his way to jail anytime now.” “ Sorry I thought you had something to do with it.” “oh I don’t want to take all the credit for it.”Vince smiled at me and walked out. My heart skipped a beat, this case was far from over.
