Chapter 6: Catch the Criminal

Michael picked up his phone. “Hello,” he said, “This is Michael Refith. How can I help you?” “Hi Michael, this is George,” John said. “I was just wondering if you solved the mystery yet.” “Nope,” he replied. “I’m still here thinking about it.” Michael heard a little chuckle on the other side. “Well, good luck!” John said. Michael laughed hard. “He actually thinks I’m still there!” he thought. Michael parked his car on the side of the road near his driveway. He didn’t want John to know he was coming.

He looked up to the second-floor windows. He could see a figure moving around with a bag that looked quite full. Michael turned around and saw a police car park by his. He was surprised. Had they been following him all the time? The policeman quietly walked over to Michael. “I was watching you over at the abandoned house,” he said. “I heard your conclusion, so I decided to follow you. So, are we going in?”

“Yep,” Michael said. “But do you promise we share the reward of $1,000?” “Yes,” the policeman said. “We spit it 50/50. Let’s go.” Luckily for them, John had left the door open, so they didn’t make any noise coming in. Soon they peeked over the top of the stairs, and saw John right in front of them, messing with something on the desk. “You better stay down there,” the police whispered. Michael went down the stairs, and right after that, he heard the policeman say “Put your hands in the air,” the bag drop, and soon afterward, he came down the stairs with John handcuffed. John growled at Michael, then he was taken out to the car, and driven out to jail.
