//__The Mystery of the Determined Killer __//
“What an amazing goal by Johnathon Toews and that gives the Chicago Blackhawks, a 5-1 lead, over the Toronto Maple Leafs.” Blared Andrew Horptman’s T.V, as he enjoyed a hockey game. Suddenly he felt a slight chill; as he turned back and noticed his door was wide open. All of the sudden, he heard footsteps, coming from his kitchen. “Hello? Who’s there?” Then the footsteps got louder and louder, and seemed to be getting closer and closer and then all of the sudden there was a big loud “SMASH!”


 * 12:45am*

Did you ladies enjoy your wakeup call?” Said Detective Adam Harper. “No, I thought I would never get out of bed” said detective Will Sparlton. “Who cares about you getting out of bed, let’s get this investigation over, so we can all go back to bed!” Complained detective Pauly Delvechiho. “You heard the man, let’s get it over with”. They entered the apartment complex and immediately went to look at the body, and search for clues. “I can see two gashes to the head.” “Start looking for a possible weapon, or object with a blood mark” said Det. Delvechiho. “Our killer may have hidden the weapon or have taken it with him or her.” “I suggest looking in places you regularly look for a weapon” said Det. Sparlton. “I found a bloody frying pan, but there are no fingerprints visible with the equipment we have here, we are going to have to send it into the lab to get good prints.” Said Det. Harper. “Hey Adam!” yelled Det. Sparlton. “What?” “Where was the body found?” “The couch” “Alright, come with me, we will search there!”

The investigation went on for about an hour, until the team found their first lead. “I got a strand of hair that does not match the victims; it could be our killer’s hair.” Said Det. Delvechiho. The good news kept coming to the detectives, as they found out they had two witnesses, and a street camera. “Ok, here is what we are going to do, we are going to have a couple of officers guard this place for an hour, we leave and go watch that video from the street camera, and talk to the witnesses.” Said Det. Harper. “Guys, wait!” “Who was that?” said Det. Sparlton. “What?” “I just saw someone walk down the hall… not wearing any uniform, it can’t be a cop.” Said Det. Sparlton. “Where?” said Det. Delvechiho. “Right there! Crouching behind that couch…THERES SOMEONE IN THE HOUSE!” Right after Det. Sparlton said that, a very large man stood up and started firing at the detectives. The three detectives took cover behind a counter top, and started to return fire. Other police units came to help, but could not enter, because the doors were chained. Det. Sparlton, and Det. Harper were shot, but luckily were okay, and were able to help Det. Delvechiho. The shootout between good, and bad, lasted for ten minutes, until Det. Delvechiho noticed the shots had stopped firing. The suspect was dead. “Are you guys alright?” said Det. Delvechiho. “It’s just a gun wound, we will be fine” replied Det. Harper and Det. Sparlton. “Well, I guess that closes our case.” By: Ben Eleftheriou  Ben
