'The Silent Killer'

This is based on a true story.
          “Ahhhh!” Someone screamed. John ran to the girl who yelled. “What happened?” he asked. The girl started crying and she said: “In there!” pointing in her friend’s room. John opened to room and saw Annabeth dead. John immediately called Jeremey and Jeremey called the police. After a few hours the FBI arrived saying that this was a victim of the famous “Silent Killer”.
       “The Silent Killer is one of the world’s most researched criminals. He has killed 53 people in all his career as a criminal; the Silent Killer kills its victims with a golden bullet from his silenced M9 gun” and FBI agent said. Then he added that they could not tell anyone about what happened because the Silent Killer might be back.
       A kid in the summer camp heard everything and diced he wanted to start his own adventure to find this Silent Killer. He started to miss activities and lessons. The Administration Office started to suspect about him. When he was searching the room were the “accident” happened he found a fake FBI badge. He started to suspect about the people he believed was the FBI.
During the second night Charley remained awake and deep in the night he saw someone rapidly run though the corridor. He did not make a sound. He followed him slowly and he tried to be invisible like a spy. He slightly opened the door and he saw him, charley saw with his own eyes the Silent Killer kill Daniel with his silenced gun. He glanced again and saw he was wearing a very elegant purple outfit and his gun was not only silenced but it was also completely gold. In that moment of oblivion charley fainted.
        The next morning he was in his bed. He wondered if it was just a nightmare, but when he goes to Daniel’s Room Daniel was not there anymore but in the dark Charley saw something dazzling and when he came closer he saw it was a diamond. That day Charley was different everyone noticed something was wrong with him. Then when it was time to go to bed he grabbed his pillow and saw the golden silenced M9 he saw the other night. Next to it there was a letter with the picture of Scarlett and it said kill or get killed. Then there was written go to the sports room.
       When he arrived there he saw the outfit the Silent Killer had worn the other night. He wore it and got the gun, he also found a master key to all rooms. That night Charley went in Scarlett’s room and pointed the gun at her. All of a sudden Scarlett woke up and started pleading for her life. Charley told her the Silent Killer is Jeremey. Then he pointed the gun to his head and pressed the trigger. Charley fell to the ground, a blood stream came from his head and Scarlett started crying. When the FBI arrived they did not suspect that the Silent Killer was Jeremy. So they went away.
       The third night Scarlett who absolutely believed in Charley so she went in his “Secret Base” and saw all the information he had on the Silent Killer. Scarlett understood that now the Silent Killer will look for her so she created a trap for him. The only thing she did not expect was that the Silent Killer would have change his killing method. She barricaded her room and the trap was set and she remained awake for the whole night The door was open just a crack, all she needed to see the main door of the dormitory, and suddenly lights went off. Scarlett started trembling and a tear or two starting to fall from her eye dazzling with the light given from the moon. Suddenly a little metallic ball entered the room and it released a gas that make Scarlett lose all her sense.
       She woke up in a gloomy, cold, small cellar room. She saw him, she saw the Silent Killer. He was wearing a black opera mask. “Good morning” the Silent Killer said, “you finally woke up.” He took his mask off. Scarlett’s vision was still pretty blurry but when her vision was finally clear she saw who the evil person behind that mask was. One shutters to imagine what inhuman thoughts lie behind that mask. What dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty? The person behind that mask was… John. “Let me go!!” screamed Scarlett. “Yell how much you want no one will hear you” said John,               “This time I left some proof that if the Real FBI might find when they will arrive here.” “So you mean that those people were not FBI agents” Scarlett responded with surprize. “Yes, not how will I get rid of all the proof that is here?” wondered John, “By blowing up the school and everyone in it!” He revealed the Bomb, “and you will be the first one to assist this massacre!” laughed John. John put his mask back on and left the room. “Good bye!” he laughed.
        Scarlett was tied up, but she was trying to break free. In the end she managed to cut the rope with her teeth, but the bomb problem still remained. The bomb had a timer she had two minutes to disarm the bomb. She tried to open the door but it was locked. She opened the control panel and she saw two cables one red one blue. She saw that in many films and it is always different. She had to rely on her instinct. She saw some pliers and cut the red wire. Unfortunately the bomb went off. The whole school was destroyed and John’s body was not found. The Silent Killer is yet to be found.
