Short Story

The sun was about to set and you can hear the sirens of police cars in the distance, and the police officers talking. In front I can see a nice looking house quite big. Still got the Christmas decorations hanging in the windows. Inspector Alice Grimm, a tall, pale skin, woman, with dark black hair. She wore a long dark brown trench coat, blue jeans and a white top. She looked like she had a bad day; mind you she always looks like that. Just like her name she really is just Grimm about everything, we could only guess why she is like that. 

''Inspector Grimm'' says the officer who had just finished examining the crime scene, the officer was quite chubby, I guess it’s because of the fact that he hardly does any walking, he's usually just sitting in his car, eating doughnuts. I look at him whilst thinking this. '' So what happened here” I said, but not really listening because I was thinking more about my cat Snuffles, who would need feeding about now. I was in a hurry to get out of there and go home. '' Well inspector it looks like a kidnapping”

‘‘Who’s been kidnapped, the owner?'' '' emm.. Not quite inspector, its the dog, its been kidnapped, or if you like dog-napped'', ''listen wise ass, are you telling me I’ve been dragged out here because some damn dog's gone missing?'', I said angrily, ''Yeh the chiefs really got it in for you inspector, he said with a smirk, but then he saw the look of anger in my face and quickly decided to get back on to the case, ''well it happened two days ago''. '' Damn, well if I’m here might as well look around''. What did the family say happened?''. '' They say it was a man wearing a black outfit who jumped over the fence, ran for the dog, picked the dog up, and then jumped back over the fence and ran off, and this is what we have found, this cloth with blood on it, we think that it belongs to the thief''' the officer said. I look down at the packet that contained a piece of black cloth. '' Have it taken to the forensic lab to see if they can come up with anything, tell them to call me about what they find'' I say as I walk away.

Just then my phone rings. I pick up the phone. '' Hello''. ''Hi Alice it's me Colin, we have another case for you to go and have a look at''. Says the voice over the phone.'' What really, OK fine I’m on my way...where's the crime scene?’’, ‘‘It’s at the River Calder'' Says Colin. 

''Right what's happened here then,'' I say as I walk up to an officer. He was younger than the other one I meet, but seemed a bit shifty '' Well Inspector Grimm, what’s happened is that some guy just walked straight into the River and didn’t stop''. ''Suicide?'' I say thinking that could be the reason for the act.'' I'm not sure Ma’am, but a witness says that he saw three men and this victim, he saw them telling him to walk into the river, and the strange thing is that the victim didn’t even oppose against them, he just walked into the river''. The officer says with a confused look. '' Oh yeah and we found this piece of black thread stuck to the victims clothing''. The officer added. I looked down at the packet of evidence and it looks the same colour as the fabric I saw at the dog kidnap case, maybe they are connected. '' Right tell you what, send this evidence to the forensics lab, and see what they can find''. '' OK right away Ma'am''. 

It's nearly midnight now, as I look at the clock.  I get a phone call.'' Hello''. '' Hi this is the Forensics lab and we've found out that the two pieces of evidence that we were given from two totally different cases match''. '' What really?........ OK thanks bye''. ''So that means that these cases are linked in some way, but what could the link be?”

Little did I know that this is just the beginning of what was still yet to come.

''Rock Hotel?, Why are we coming to an old hotel like this Mr Prime minister''  says the bodyguard. '' That is classified you are here to protect me not to ask me questions, now stay out here, I will take a while and you are not to enter the hotel, unless I say so, understood'' said the Prime Minister looking at the bodyguard who was looking slightly confused.

In the shadows you can see a man watching the prime minister and the bodyguards. The man is in the shadows and his face is not visible. He puts his hand on his earpiece and says '' Sir the Prime minister has entered the Hotel''. ''Wait for my signal'' says the mysterious voice in his ear. 

Inside the hotel the prime minister walked into a room, inside the room there is a man wearing a black coat and a hood the man was sitting and waiting for the Prime Minister. '' I told you to stop calling me..'' said the Prime Minister acting uneasy. '' What is it that you want’’? '' Well what I want is....you'' the man said. ''WHAT!'' says Prime Minister then suddenly a gang of men with there faces covered burst into the room and inject the Prime Minister with a sleeping agent. The gang carry the now unconscious Prime Minister away. As they are walking out, you see the bodyguards lying on the ground with bullet holes in there chests.

The next morning I got called to investigate the disappearance of the Prime minister and the shooting of the bodyguards. I looked around the crime scene to find any evidence, that could help me to find out who did all this, but something tells me that maybe this case is connected to the dog and the river cases. Just then I find some blood, but I have to be sure who's blood this could be, so I get it sent to the forensic lab to see if this blood is from the same person.

I get the phone call back later on that day and I find out that it match’s what we found at the dog kidnapping. So they are connected, it is the same person, but why?

Somewhere else in a secret base. The leader of the gang called Krugan stands in the shadows, he looked quite tall and he had a bit of a croaky voice. '' Well nice to see you Mr Prime Minister''. ''What? Where am I?'' said the petrified Prime Minister. '' Your in my base'' said Krugan as he walks forward. Now you can see that he is not human, in fact he is a slimy green, scaly alien.'' What are you going to do with me?'' said the surprised Prime Minister. '' We are going to brain wash you, so you'll be my puppet, forever'' croaked Krugan, with a grimacing smile. '' W-Why are you doing this and how?'' Said the Prime Minister anxiously.

 '' Well my soon to be puppet friend, I'm doing this because we are going to enslave this planet, and it will be ours to rule. I learned that a genius from the planet Golstar was hiding here on planet Earth. I captured this genius called Snoopy who just happens to look like one of your Earth dogs and forced him to create a very special device for me'' said Krugan. As he is saying this, another alien brings in the device. The device looked like something you see in the sci-fi films, it had dials, knobs and buttons. Krugan picked up the device and pointed it at the Prime Minister. He pressed a button on the device, Prime Minister screams in pain. He suddenly drops to the ground. Shortly afterwards Prime Minister opens his eyes and stands up, then says ''I will obey you master'' Krugan then with a slimy smile says, ‘Yessssss, what I need you to do isssss....''.

The next morning I switched on the TV to check the news. I slumped in the old creaky chair, clutching the TV remote. The Prime Minister is on the news; I sit up in shock to see that the Prime Minister has been found. The Prime Minister announces   '' I am pleased to be back, and I would like to thank the police for rescuing me from the kidnappers, but unfortunately the leader of the gang got away, so I ask for you all your help in finding her.

Her name is, Alice Grimm, she works as an inspector, find her and there would be a reward for you''. I stand up in shock and disbelief. '' Why is the Prime Minister saying that it was me that kidnapped him? What the hell did I do?''  I said confused at the whole situation. Then suddenly someone bangs on my apartment door, I turn and run to see who it is, through the spyhole, its the landlord, I stand there still shocked trying to think of a way out of this, I had to clear my name, I had to find out why the Prime Minister is saying this, and I think I know where to look first. I’ll have to go to the Hotel, maybe find a clue there. I run to the window, luckily the windows not that high off the ground. I jump out and manage to escape.

I arrive at the Hotel, dodging all the weirdo's that are after the reward that's on my head. I walk around to find anything that will help, and then suddenly I hear a voice of a man coming from the cellar. I follow the voice down to a room. I eavesdrop on the conversation; he is talking to a dog? I look closer, isn’t that the dog that went missing, what’s his name again, oh yeah, Snoopy. '' Right the boss wants you to make the mind controlling device to be more portable and stronger, so do it or we break your legs'' said the man I followed. '' Listen I can't, just let me go, I will not do it anymore''. Said Snoopy, I watch in shock, listening to a dog, a talking dog.'' You will do this or else we will do terrible things to that family that you lived with. I heard you care for them, don't you, so hurry up!’’ said the man in a not very bothered voice. Well then from what I can guess is that these losers must have got this what seems to be an alien talking dog, to make them a brain controlling device, they must have kidnapped the Prime minister and brain washed him to say all that stuff about me, because I guess I was on their case. I could have uncovered their plans, I say smacking my forehead, in disbelief that this situation was just so unbelievable. The man walks out of the room and I hide around the side of the door, the man is about to lock Snoopy in the room, when I Karate chop the man to the floor, I then kick him in the goolies just to be on the safe side. I take his keys and I free Snoopy.

Snoopy looks up at me and then looks over to the man laying on the floor. '' Who are you?, what do you want?'' said Snoopy in an unsure voice. Still surprised that a dog can talk, I reply'' my name is Alice Grimm, and I have been set up by the leader of the gang that have you captive. What I am thinking is that if you can make a device that can control people’s minds then. You must know how to make a device that can un- mind control people or something, right?..''. ''Yes there is a way, but I will need some things, that may be alien to you. We need to go to the hatch down the corridor, I saw them take equipment down their'', said Snoopy. '' OK then, lets go'' I say.

Snoopy and me sneaked past what seems to be the 19^th guard. ''Man these guards are lousy'' I think as we go past them. We made our way through the hatch that Snoopy was talking about, and then to our sheer horror we can see a fleet of alien ships, parked up ready to deploy. Snoopy and me look at each other in shock. Suddenly just then the alarms go off, just like the police sirens but much, much louder, and before we can understand what has just happened. We were surrounded by an army of aliens, wielding guns, all looking at us.......

To be continued................

Will Alice and Snoopy escape?, Will Alice prove that she is innocent?, Will Alice's cat Snuffles be fed?,....  All theses questions and many more........

May not be answered in the next explosive episode titled Grimm' s Bluff, and don’t miss the shocking conclusion to this adventure titled Grimm’s Revenge.
