The Million Dollar Case
Lauren

          On Friday night at seven o’ clock I saw a tall man in a telephone booth. He looked very suspicious. I wondered about him all night. The next night I was by an old dark alley by Main St. I saw the same tall man I did last night. I over heard them talking, the tall man said to the other man, you’re the captain what do I do to help? The captain said, tomorrow we leaving on a trip to Washington D.C. I hear they got over a million dollars locked up in there. After I heard that I was scared, these were bad people I’ve got to be careful. So I walked home. A few hours past and I went to the county police station, I told them about the two men and the money they said that they would look out for them. Five hours past and I got a call from the police station and the woman said, We think we found them can you come and see? I said yes. When I got there I saw them and they were the ones! I was so happy they caught them. The woman said they would go to court the next day. The next day I woke up to a phone call and the woman said they were found guilty. I was happy yet again. I think some day I will have my own detective agency.

So I watched T.V. again. There it was again. A tall man was walking into a telephone both. All of the sudden I heard a huge noise. I looked out the window I saw a man shoot on the ground. I called the cops. They said the man was leaving on a trip and was a captain. Also they found a million dollars in his pocket and as soon as they found the killer they would put him in jail.

Freaky Friday
Kyle

     I was very scared one night. That night I was with Jarrod, Bobby, Austin, and Tighe. On Friday night at seven o’clock we were going to the Ghost Ship in Manistee. We waited for Bobby to get there so we found a telephone booth and called him. Then he showed up at 7:30. After he got there we went into the Ghost Ship. When we got in we were shocked because Jarrod was already gone because the captain grabbed him for a tour around the wheelhouse. As we were walking a case with a million dollars in it popped open! So Austin went for the money and a tall man popped out and said “no money for you”! and slapped Austin, and then vanished. As soon as e disappeared Jarrod popped out a hidden door. So ten we got off the Ghost Ship and Jarrod slipped and fell on his butt! He was okay. Then Bobby told us that he was leaving on a trip to Mexico for a week. It was 9:30 so everybody left and Tighe was scared all night long. This Friday was very freaky!!    

The Great Mystery
Kelly

          On Friday night at seven o’clock I saw a tall man with a tan trench coat, a black top hat, and a brief case. I saw him on my way to the movies with some friends. While we were on our way he stopped at a restaurant called Captain’s Café. On the specials sign I saw the captain’s supreme. On our way back from the movies at about nine o’clock we saw the man paying for his meal and in his brief case was a MILLION DOLLARS! Then we hid behind a dumpster and saw him walking into Penn Station. We were guessing he was leaving on a trip. The next morning my mom was reading the paper and I saw on the cover suspicious man murders train master. The cops found the train master in his chair with a knife in his throat. I called my friend Jenny from a telephone booth since we don’t have a house phone yet. Her mom answered so I asked if Jenny was there and her mom said hold on a minute. When Jenny answered I asked her if she read what happened in the paper. After that she said the man hasn’t been caught yet. Then I walked back to my house and had some breakfast. A few hours later I heard sirens and some yelling. Later that day on the news I saw the man who murdered the train master was caught on 53^rd St. trying to break in to the bank. He was dragged in handcuffs in to the county jail and locked up for life. I will never forget that day.

          On Friday night at seven o’clock a million dollars was stolen from the bank. It happened when my uncle was working there. A tall man broke through the window and yelled, ‘This is a robbery!’ Everyone was terrified. My uncle rushed to a telephone booth to call the police. Suddenly gunshots exploded in the building! Luckily, nobody was hurt. My uncle heard sirens in the distance. The police were coming! More gunshots rang out. Would the police get there in time? About five minutes later the sheriff’s car pulled up and the door opened. The captain of the police stepped out. The tall man shouted, ‘You’ll never catch me coppers! I’m leaving on a trip!’ Suddenly my uncle came out of nowhere and tackled the tall man! The captain put handcuffs on the tall man and took him to jail. My uncle said he would never forget that night.

Mystery Robbery
Jarrod

          I was taking a car ride on Friday night at seven o’clock. After a while I stopped at a telephone booth to make a call. When I got off the phone I went to a restaurant to eat. Then I overheard some people at another table saying that they were going to rob a cruise ship for a million dollars. As soon as they got up I followed them to the ship. When we got on the ship I told the captain about them stealing the money and he ran to the safe! By the time that the captain got to the safe he was so tired that he didn’t stand a chance against the robbers. The captain was a tall man though and he put up a fight, but after a while the robbers pushed him overboard. I called the police and they arrested the men as soon as they got there. When nobody found the captain the police claimed that he left on a trip. Everything ended up okay.

The Letter
Bobby

Dear Uncle Jim,

 I am writing this note to explain what happened Friday night at seven o’clock. This is how it began I had a few friends over and there names are Austin, Kyle Tighe, and Jarrod. All of a sudden we were playing monopoly and we saw a man not just any man a tall man. He was going into a red telephone booth and he had a suspicious looking briefcase. We were all so suspicious that Jarrod had a bright idea and he went and listened to the conversation the tall man was having. When Jarrod got back he said that the tall man was talking to the captain about leaving on a trip. Boom crack the door to my bedroom smacked rite open. All of a sudden the tall man was in my bedroom! He started to yell at us and tolled us not to tell anybody what we heard him talking about in the phone booth. He didn’t even notice but Officer Mark was standing behind him and slapped a pair of handcuffs on him. When Officer Mark got him into the police car we had to look in the brief case. We found a million dollars in the brief case. We found out the tall man can’t come to Michigan were we live ever again!

Grace

          It was Friday night at seven o’clock when I heard the door bell ring. I ran down the stairs an answered it. It was a tall man that looked like he just came from work, in a gray suit and a brief case. He looked very suspicious. All of a sudden I saw a green thing. It looked like a piece of money. Then he said” is your dad here”. I said “you just missed him he left on a trip about an hour ago”. Then the man walked to the telephone booth. After the man left the telephone booth I ran over there. I seen a card that said” Captain Jim Bob”. Then I ran to my house and looked in the phone book. I found his name and it showed he lived on a boat. I ran out of the house to the marina. I got there just in time before the guy with the suit case came. I knocked on each boat until I came to Captain Jim Bob’s boat. I told him that a guy with money in his suit case was coming. So we got a net and when he came we got him. His suit case fell in the water when we got him. So we had to get it with a net. When I opened it up there was a million dollars in it. We called the police and he went to jail. I got the million dollars for finding him. He was wanted by the FBI.

The Man in the Black Coat
Alexis

          Okay it all started out Friday night at seven o’clock. I was with my friends Ashley and Kailen. We were walking down the street by a telephone booth, when suddenly a tall man walked in. He had a big black coat a top hat and a brief case. I got scared when I saw he had a gun in his back pocket. He seemed angry so we jumped into the bushes that covered the side of the telephone booth. We hid there for a couple of minutes and then we heard him get calmer and calmer. It sounded to me like he was leaving on a trip. Then we jumped out of the bushes, but we jumped out to early. By the time we got out we found ourselves right behind the man’s back. He must have heard us and he suddenly turned around, “Good evening girls. Lovely night isn’t it?” he said. “Yes,” I said. He said goodnight to us and left. But what he didn’t know was we were fallowing him, we were staying hidden behind the bushes. None of us knew why we fallowed him but we just seemed drawn to him, like we were the detectives and he was the suspect. Then pretty soon we saw him walk into the S.S. Bloom. We fallowed him to the docks but didn’t get on bored. That’s when we heard him talk to the captain. “Do you have it?” the captain asked. “Yes, I’ve got the million right here,” he said. Then the ship started to lift up the anchor and left the docks. After that we took an oath to never say a word to anyone about this. But some days I do wonder what happened to the man and the captain, well better safe then sorry.
