Short Story Crimes Committed: Murdering Vicky Brock

Superior Essays
It was a cold day in November 1959. Fog was covering the ground of the cemetery but every once in a while, the drops of rain and people passing by would separate the fog to reveal soft mushy ground, covered with a light layer of snow. You could hear the thump every time someone took a step, as everyone in the area gathered around a gravestone.
“Shame she died” said a cop. His uniform was soaked and covered in food stains and he looked like he hadn’t exercised in a year. “Yeah, but it wasn’t a peaceful death, I need to make this right!” said Harvey Brock. Harvey was probably the only good cop in the city with his partner Harley. He had black hair, was average height, and always had bruises on his knuckles. Harley was a blond who always wore

It was small as expected for a dirty cop in this city, but there was something on the second page. “Crimes Committed: Murdering Vicky Brock” written in red marker. The radio beside his locker turned on playing a pre-recorded message from James “Sorry about killing your mom, but she knew too much about the Lions den, she was a member after all. If I don’t kill you, I’ll still end up breaking you Harvey. A loud buzzing sound was heard before 3 Gunmen in suits and lion masks entered tor room. Harvey and Harley had taken them down with ease, with Harley shooting one in the knee. But they took off the masks to reveal hostages with duck taped mouths.

James then entered the room through a hidden entrance. In panic Harvey and Harley kick at scream at the glass to get the hostages’ attention to James. He slowly pulled out his custom made Lions den mask, carefully carved out of wood and painted with pitch black eye holes, and a white tommy gun with a silver lion insignia from the black leather suitcase he had with him. He then waved at the hostages who were frozen in fear and started to spray his tommy gun at them. As soon as everyone had dropped, he took a bow, and left the last bullet in his tommy gun placed right beside him as he dropped the weapon and opened the glass doors with his arms spread wide open. Harley checked the hostages while Harvey bolted to James and tackled him to the floor. In a fit of rage, he pummeled James until his masked shattered in two to reveal him laughing at him. While covered in his own blood that he was choking on, he whispered “I told you, I would break you” before
