Marina Hardy Case #1

I'm pretty sure I already posted this page a long time ago, but now I have edited it a lot and changed the whole story line, so here it is, and more to come later. ^.^


Marina’s fiery hazel-green eyes sparkled in the bright moonlight, as she crept from her hiding place in the bushes behind the old warehouse. Tonight was the night! She just had to catch the notorious villain, “Tim” before it was too late! A few minutes later she spotted someone, and quickly ducked behind the building, hoping he hadn’t seen her. She held her breath, waiting to see what he would do. Nervously glancing over his shoulder, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a key. Still watching the man, Marina cautiously inched closer. The man shoved the key into the warehouse door, and went inside. Knowing the door might lock when it closed, Marina silently and quickly stepped into the warehouse. The man, obviously preoccupied, didn’t notice, and kept walking. Marina hid behind a metal barrel where she could watch from a safe distance. She saw about two- dozen people in lab coats working while two other men supervised. When one man turned his head, she thought he sort of looked like Tim! Squinting, Marina tried to read the faded lettering on the barrel beside her in the dim light. “ Fenoc BVS Operation” it said. “This is it!” she whispered
This was a very important discovery, and she needed to tell the other officers about it. Now, if only she could find a way out… A quick glance at the door she came in showed her several different alarms. “Well, I sure can’t go back that way.” She thought “Too bad I don’t have my alarm disarming kit with me.” As she tiptoed into what appeared to be an abandoned packaging room, she spotted… could it be? Yes! Towards the left, near a corner, was a small window. Peering back to make sure no one was there, Marina carefully moved a nearby crate closer to the window, so she could use it to climb out. After slowly making her way out the window, she broke into a run and headed straight to her friend Zelda’s house, which was only two blocks away.
