Adventure #12: The End?

“WEE-OH WEE-OH WEE-OH!” The police sirens wailed. “I wonder what all the noise is about?!” Bob asked, “Did something happen?” “Let’s investigate!” said Joe, “Investigating is fun!” “We’ve really become good at it!” Mike said, “We’ll have to skip church though”. It was Sunday morning and they had been on their way to church. They ran around the bend, following the police cars, but failed to catch up to them.

That night, Mike couldn’t keep still. He hated it when he knew something was going on but he didn’t know what it was and couldn’t get to the bottom of it. He turned on the TV. The title “BREAKING NEWS” flashed across the screen. A reporter appeared on screen. “A wild police chase is going on in the city! The police are frantically chasing inmates Pippa McBunmee and Mark McLowy! People are calling it the chase of th-”. Mike turned off the TV. “So it’s them!” The next day, he told Bob and Joe about the news. “Holy cow!” Joe shouted, “We’ve got to get them! They walked outside. Just as they opened the door, the police cars zoomed past. A few seconds later, they zoomed past again. Then again and again and again. Then Mike had an idea. He went to the garage and got his motorcycle. “Hop on!” He shouted, and they zoomed off.

Soon, he caught up to the police cars. They came to a jack-knifed truck in the middle of the highway that stopped all traffic.  Mike got his rope from the back of the motorcycle and tied it into a lasso. “YEE-HAH!” He shouted, throwing it around the very, very fat police officer’s car, which was caught in the traffic. The police officers used their keys to open the door, and used Mike’s rope to tie Officer McBunmee and Mark together. “Good job!” They said to Mike, but when they looked back, Officer McBunmee and Mark were gone! The car was gone, too. A knife was discovered on the ground, next to where they had been tied up. “Oh, no! They must have taken the shoulder and got off the next exit! We’ll never catch them now! They’re long gone!” The police officers shouted.

“I have just the thing!” said Joe, “I was afraid something like this would happen so I slipped the new tracking device I invented onto the car!” He pulled a device out of his pocket. “We can see where they are on here!” “Amazing!” said Mike, “You rock!” They got on their vehicles, found Mark and Officer McBunmee, and the chase was on again. Unfortunately, Mark and Officer McBunmee didn’t realize they were running out of gas. They heard a ding and realized their car had no more fuel. They would have to pull over and make a run for it. Mike tried to lasso them, but they kept dodging. Then, it was Bob’s turn to do something. He told Mike to go the other way around the block, where the two people that escaped were coming. They wouldn’t suspect a thing! Mike obeyed. He went around, lassoed the two escaped inmates, and brought them to the police officers. This time, the officers had cuffs ready. “You’re going to the slammer!” one said.

Two years later, Mike, Bob and Joe started their own company. Their inventions sold millions, and they all lived happily. Life was great for them. Everything was peaceful.
