The Halloween Crime

What I am going to tell you now happened a year

ago in the day of Halloween. The story began like this: we (Leo, Marta, Salma, Bea and me) were at the urbanization of my aunt in America and it was cloudy, and soon was going to rain so my aunt told us to stay

at home so we proposed to go out for a walk with

umbrellas. To that my aunt said yes. So we went out,

and just when we were about to go back home, our

minds were filled by intrigue. That was because we saw a dark place surrounded by fences with warnings saying: BE WARE, DO NOT ENTER or NO

TRESPASSING. Leo went near the fence, and then I said:

“Guys, is better to go back home, I don’t want to get

in trouble”. Leo answered me:“Oh come on, it’s not

that spooky, no?” In that moment we shook our heads and started walking backwards .To our reaction she answered: “Fine, if you aren’t coming

I’ll go on my own”. We went behind her trying

to convince her that it was a bad idea, but at the same time we didn’t realize that we were inside the

“Cave” with her. “You said you weren’t coming ey?”

in that moment she smiled like saying: “I knew it”.

So then I, as you know, said that I would wait for them outside. But, as you know, Leo and the rest convinced me to stay. So I told them that if I couldn’t

survive that they were the best friends I ever had. So

we explored and Bea tripped with a box and under the box was a dip and big hole in the ground so Marta threw a stone to the hole to see how deep it was. But in that moment we waited, waited and waited until finally it made a sound. “Bahhh, it’s not that deep” said Marta. So we looked for thread and we finally we found it. So we looked down the hole “Who is going first?”Asked Salma, “I will go” said Marta “Then me” said Leo “After you” I said “I want to be last” said Bea “So I will go after Eli” said Salma. So once we were down, we found some thing

that believe me you wouldn’t like to see...We saw

a man of 2º age dead with bullet erida and there

was a handbag which we opened and the picture of

his DNI didn’t look like the victims face. So then I remembered that my aunt was a private spy/police, so she taught me how to take the pulse. So I slowly got close to the corpse and positioned my hand in his neck

and suddenly hi grabbed my hand and with muffled voice his said: “Amber, Amber is it you?” “Who is Amber, were can we find her?” “In the Robinson Fruit”

“Who are you?” said Bea “I am, I am...” and he stopped breathing. “ We have to tell Stephanie (my aunt) about all this” said Leo. So we went running to

aunt Steph’s house. Once we got there we started to speak at the same time. “Girls, I can’t understand anything” “Ok, I will tell all the story” I said. So once I told the story as I did to you, she said: “Wow that is a very bad reason for which you’re mum is going to kill me” “But aunty we can’t leave that pour man there like if he hasn’t existed” “I know but I am not a police any more, they have just fired me” “What???”

In that moment we were hallucinating in colours. And in that moment Marta had the best idea I ever heard: “But the private police station doesn’t have to know about it, I mean didn’t you do private missions with anybody knowing about it? So what we can do is a private investigation ourselves.” “That is a great idea” So my aunt got her licence plate and we went

off to the mistery. So once we got there she looked at the dead man to get an idea of what we were facing. She said: “He looks like he’s around 50 years, and has a bullet erida in the right side of the shoulder” “We knew that” I said. “What was exactly what he said?” “He said Amber, Amber and in the Robinson Fruit” said Salma with a humorous way. “The Robinson?” said my aunt. “Yes, why? Do you know them?” “I always buy the fruit there, and Amber lives in this street, she is my neighbour” “Poor girl!!” said Bea. “I have to tell her” my aunt was certainly worried. So we got the car and because it was Sunday the shop wasn’t open so we went to Amber’s house. When we got there she was cooking. “Oh, hi Stephanie I am glad to see you, hum have you seen my uncle? Is because I am going to eat with him” “That’s what we have to talk about” Steph entered the house and we sat on the sofa. “When did you saw your uncle for the last time?” started my aunt questioning her. “I actually saw him yesterday in the shop at lunch time, why?” my aunt sowed her picture of the victim to Amber. “Is this your uncle?” Amber started to cry, for it was his uncle “Amber I need you to tell me all about your uncle if you want me to help you to find who did this” continued my aunt. “He lately he has been a bit strange, I noticed him nervous and rude, he was not like that always.” “Has he told you about something that he had to do or a phone call a bit unusual?” “That I know, no” that answer didn’t help us so much but the unusual behaviour gave us a clue of that he had something to do with his murder. “What is your uncle’s job?” asked Leo “I think he was a colecionista” “That is possibly one of the reasons why he is dead” I told my aunt “Yhea, maybe he had something invaluable that someone wanted...” “And he didn’t wanted to give it to him, so whoever it was killed him and got it” continued Marta “We have our theory about the murder of your uncle” we told Amber. Before going Amber gave us the direction of his office so that we could find something. So we went to his office and there we found all our answers: in his computer we found that he had a diamond and that he was supposed to get the aeroplane to Florida today at 13:00 and it was 12:30. And also we saw something very interesting: he had an email that said:

Listen to my instructions: you get the diamond and give it to me in the cave at the very end of the street of your nephew Amber, if you don’t follow my instructions you will be dead. There at 10:00 don’t be late and bring the diamond.

My aunt got a strange device and connected it in the computer and track from where was that message send from. Finally she got the answer: it was Bakers street at five blocks from there. My aunt made some calls to his police friends and asked them if they could go with her to the house. So her friends (Steve, Georgie, Michelle and Andrew) accompanied us to the house. We (the little ones) had to go next to an adult. So once we got organize we entered the house. I was next to Georgie and we investigated the kitchen when we heard a scream... it was Bea and Ben (the responsible of the crime of Adam the uncle of Amber) that was holding her and pointing at her with his gun. “Ben you don’t want to do it” suddenly Amber burst in the room “You didn’t have to revenge from when I broke up with you” “You don’t understand it” in that moment he put down his gun and from behind Steve came and got him, so like this ended our adventure of the Halloween Crime.

THE END, or maybe not... BY: Eli
