    Harriet I’m Owen out of Parkside middle school bromsgrove is this a good story

    John hurried to work,He was late john had a wife who was good at reading long words .One day 2 thugs from a town nearby burned down the big house with fireworks, Then when john got home the ruins were still there but the thugs were nowhere to be seen they had ran away or driven away, There was no witnesses watching the 2 thugs do the crime that had happened not long before john got home from his dreadful work, John didn’t like his job.

    John and his wife liked there house even though the bills like Tax, Electric and gas where very expensive, The big house was a mansion and the mansion was still burning when the man got home and the helicopter he kept on the roof they had taken down before they burned the mansion, So it was a quick escape.

    from the dirty phone box they called the police to find fingerprints all over the ruins or the thing that set it off. The locals heard fireworks going off in the direction of the mansion but they weren’t quick enough to stop the fire.

    One of the locals thought it was either a demolition or a bonfire, But they had been in the town 2 days and didn’t know what the 2 thugs were doing, Or what the fire was meant for, in the end the 2 thugs had been doing this to anybody who built their house on that bit of land, So the police had been looking and searching for them for at least 2 years, The police think their names are Daniel Underwood and Ethan Slate, but they are not sure.

    The forensic team found fingerprints on a lighter and on a firework, The one on the firework wasn’t clear… Because the firework had been exploded. When the forensic team had finished searching and scanning for fingerprints they checked fingerprints they weren’t the same they were different like really different so the police had a hunch that it was Daniel and Ethan, But it wasn’t maybe it was a recruit of theirs.

    The police had done Some more research on the gang the Satan’s help, They found 2 new recruits in it so the police went to the warehouse where they are based but no one in sight, Unless the police are blind as a bat. What the police did is left a note, It was a detectives phone number so it wasn’t obvious it was the police. When the Satan’s help called back they asked were they are and they got given a destination so the police headed for it.

    When the police got there 4 hooded guys wearing tracksuit bottoms and hats, It was dark so it was hard without lights but they talked to them, The police asked for names, The usual Daniel and Ethan then was Russell marsh and Josh Conrad so the police took note it was dark they were smoking cigarettes, Ethan ran to the van close by he pulled out a rifle from the back of the van quite dangerous and powerful but the police had no fear they called military then they came to help

    The Satan’s help died from being in prison for life , John got his house back, the van and the rifle were demolished and so was this story nobody knows about this anymore and you keep quiet as well
