Susan's Bugatti: A Short Story

Improved Essays
Early on Saturday morning there seems to be a problem. John the 39 year old reporter had been going to work just like normal. John and his reporting crew were waiting for something big that they can report. Everything is going normal, but all of a sudden they get a call saying Susan an 80 year old woman’s car is in the middle of a car chase. They spot the car going one hundred miles per hour on the highway. The police turn on the sirens and go as quick as they can, but Susan’s Bugatti is going faster.

The police had decided that they need to have someone run by Susan’s house and see what’s going on there. Officers quickly arrived to Susan’s house, and were banging on the door. Her door slowly opens and it is Susan, and they realize that her car must’ve been stolen. They asked her questions about it, and she had no idea where her car was. The police officers couldn’t catch her car due to the velocity, and they made the difficult decision of waiting until tomorrow. They knew it was a risk, but they took the chance thinking someone might call in saying they spotted the car.

    The police has zero leads, and had no clue where to go in further investigating the crime. When Sacco and Vanzetti, two men who were Italian immigrants, went to pick up a car that was possibly the car used as a getaway vehicle in the crime, the police jumped right on these men, and arrested them both. The police were lost, they needed a suspect. Both of these men were Italian immigrants, so these men were already not respected by America, so the people would be more likely to believe that they were criminals. Sacco and Vanzetti became the prime suspects in this case based on purely circumstantial…
