Caught Red-Handed
By Sam

Prologue
It’s a cold dark night in Philadelphia. He didn’t see me. I called his name “Bounty!”
He turned around.
“Your next.” He said, and ran. I chased him. He ran longer. I chased. He stopped. I kicked his hand.
“What do you me your next.” I said, and we started a fist fight. With a punch here, and a kick there. Then he ran again. Sweat was dripping down my face, my lip was bleeding, and I have a black eye. “I will get you!” I shouted. No time to give up. I have to get him. I ran after. My heart ran with me as I jumped for him. I tackled him! It feels like I’ve just one a gold medal in the long jump at the Olympics. I got my hand cuffs out, but then he tripped me. “What!” I said in an angry way.
“This is the end for you my friend.” He said…

Chapter 1 Michael


Hi. My name is Michael Dicer. I’m 25 years old, I have two parents, pet hamster, a condo in south Philadelphia, I am a police officer, I have a partner named Carl, and I like it here. Today started off strange. First I saw this homeless boy on the street. Then at my meeting I found out there is two more criminals. Ones bad. Another’s worse.

The crowd roared as loud as they can. I’m here at the football game. On security. I sighed. “This is the NFC championship.” Said a football announcer
“A great mach up heh.” Said the other. Here’s the kick off. 2 hours later. This could be the win. Darn he drooped it. The winning pass. They lost 45-42. I’M REALLY MAD! 

Chapter 2 red handed

I’m gonna capture the bad one. Not the really bad one. Just bad. His name is Ronald Jinkens. (Or Ron). I over heard some people talking about Ron being at town square. In the morning I told Chief Joe (the Chief of the police department). That I will be at town square for the whole day. So then I left.
It was quiet ‘tell Ron came. (Of course it had to be at my lunch break). I followed him he saw me. Then he ran. I went to my squad car. I got him now. He got in a motorcycle DUH! Every thief has a motorcycle. And here comes the chase. We strolled all around town. Finally he stopped at the bar. I called Chief Joe.
“I’ve found him.” I said
“Who?” he answered
“The Ron guy.” I said.
“Oh good.” He said
“I’m going in.” I said.
“I’ll be right there.” He said
Ok here I go. “Wooh” I said. This must be where the Eagles fans go. I found him. Trying to disguise him. He is playing pool. I snuck up behind and said “You’ve been caught. Caught red handed.” And put hand cuffs on him. And that’s right when the police come in. I did it.

Chapter 3 the accident

It’s all over. In the newspaper. On T.V. Every where in the streets of Philadelphia. I called my parents.
“Mom I caught a man. Who was really bad. I did it.” I said.
“That is great.” She said
“Yup. I know.”

“This is Evan Brown. Reporting on a car crash. 7 cars got in the accident. Here’s Bob with more of the action.”
“It was from a man named Jonathan Bounty. He shot a semi-truck that crashed into 6 other cars. Nobody died, but people got hurt.”

Yesterday was bad. Really bad. Next thing I know I’m at the hospital. I lost my leg.

3 weeks later.
I’m finally out. But one leg. I don’t like it. People staring at me. When ever I look in the I think “this isn’t me.”

I need a vacation. To relax and meet up with family members. I need to ask Joe if I can.
So when I went to the police department I asked Chief Joe if I could go. And he said yes.
The next day I’m off.

Chapter 4 the final Showdown

When I got there I saw a dirty note that read: if you ever want to see your parents again. Meet me at town park at 8:00 sharp...

From your worst enemy,
Jon Bounty.

I went back, and told Chief Joe every thing. He told me to go get him. (even though I have one leg). And that’s what I am going to do.

That night at 8:00 I was there.
“What do you want Bounty.” I said. he turned around.
“Death.”
“What.”
Then he ran. I chased. And of course a chase. Then he took a gun out. Stopped and Shot. he had bad aim and missed every time. I kicked his gun. And we started a fist fight. Finally I knocked him down, but then he tripped me took his gun from the ground and the police can rushing to me and took Jon’s gun out of his hands.
“Another successful capture by Michael Dicer.” Said Chief Joe. “Anything you would like to say.” He said
“Yes, you’ve been caught red handed.” I said. Then I saw my parents. “MOM DAD!”

Today’s my favorite day.
