It was 2 o’clock in the night, the time when almost everybody is asleep, but for some reason,
I just couldn’t sleep that night.
Hi, I am Amelia, an amateur detective and that night my whole life changed as a detective. Before that night, I along with my group of friends, used to solve petty cases like finding peoples’ lost dogs and other belongings. But that night was really a game-changer for us. Come along with me to know what happened.
When I was lying asleep on the bed without a wink of sleep in my eye, I suddenly heard the terrific noise of at least a hundred motor bikes being driven together. The noise was so loud and so long-lasting, that it made me wonder what was going on. I got out of my bed and looked out of the window and saw at least a few hundred bikes roaring through the narrow road outside my house, one after the other. It seemed as if all of them knew each other and were all going to the same location.
Now you see, I have a very good sixth sense and from that I could certainly say that they were certainly not up to a very good deed. Otherwise, you only tell me, why would someone go around like this in the middle of the night?
While thinking about all this, a thought crept into my mind, was it… was it… a mystery?
Soon, my detective instincts set in and I called up my friends and told them to get out of their houses with their bikes, to come to my house and then to follow the tire marks on the ground till they are able to see me.
I myself also set out with my bike and soon my friends caught up with me. While following the men on our bikes, I told my friends all that I had seen. They too thought it was a mystery. Right then, all of a sudden a bright flashlight was flashed into our eyes and we, unable to keep our balance fell down on the ground.
And the next moment, we saw that we were being held by two hefty men from the back. In front of us sat a man on a rock, who seemed to be the gang leader. They told us that incidentally, they had thought someone was following them and it was not long before they came to know that it was us. Then the leader ordered the men to tie us up.
We kept struggling to free ourselves from their hold, but it was of no use because our strength was nothing compared to theirs.
Realising the danger I suddenly bit the man who was holding me and my friends followed. As I bit him, I thought to myself that they could be stronger when they used their hands and legs but we were certainly stronger than them when we used our wit and our teeth.
Within a few minutes of this incident, several police cars suddenly came with hoards of policemen. Apparently, I had called them before I left the house, and those dumb gangsters were foolish enough to think that we had followed them without any protection.
The police immediately handcuffed them and took them into the police car to take them to the police station and we returned back home.
It was not until the next morning that we got to know that we had unknowingly captured a group of criminals who were wanted all over the world. This news was followed by our names being flashed on the TV screen as the ones who captured the entire gang.
All of us were proud of our achievement and we are really looking forward to more such mysteries.
