Neon Cop’s Winter Investigation
Neon Cop’s Winter Investigation …
Sara was cooking dinner. She was making Julie and Neon Cop’s favourite winter dish, beef stew.
“I wonder where Julie is,” thought Sara, while she cut up the potatoes and put them in the pot. “She should have been home an hour ago.”
Sara looked outside. She could see it was storming out.
“I hope she gets home soon,” thought Sara. “I am really starting to get worried.”
Sara saw her husband, Neon Cop, pull up into the driveway. She was relieved because she felt he would know where Julie was.
The Neon Cop, and Sara’s daughter, Julie, were inseparable ever since the day Neon Cop found her alone on a beach. Sara had no choice but to leave Julie on the beach, alone. She had a job interview and couldn’t take Julie with her. Unfortunately, Sara was involved in a car accident and ended up breaking her jaw. She had no way of letting anyone know who she was.
“Do you know where Julie is?” asked Sara, once Neon Cop walked in the door.
“Is she not home yet?” asked Neon Cop, worried. “School was out over an hour ago.”
“No,” said Sara. “She’s not.”
“Did you call the school?” asked Neon Cop. “I will take the car around and see if I can find her.”
Neon Cop was very worried but he didn’t want Sara to worry. He was working on a child abduction case at work. He prayed Julie was not a new victim and he prayed he would locate her quickly.
Just as Neon Cop pulled out of the driveway, he noticed a strange car circling the street. He then saw Julie walking on the sidewalk about a block away. He saw the strange car pull up beside Julie and the passenger door of the car opened up.
Neon Cop drove his car up the block and parked behind the strange car. Julie recognized it and ran as fast as she could to Neon Cop’s car. Before the strange car drove away, Neon Cop reached through the driver’s side and grabbed the door handle. He pulled the driver out of the car. He recognized the driver right away as the lead suspect in the child abduction case.
Neon Cop called into the police station and a police car was sent to his location within a few minutes. The suspect was taken into custody.
“I am sorry,” said Julie, later that evening. “I left you a note on the counter. I had some research to do at the library for a school paper.”
“We were so worried,” said Sara.
“We are so relieved you are safe,” said Neon Cop.
“You did such a great job arresting that guy in that car,” said Julie.
“What guy?” asked Sara.
Neon Cop told Sara all about what happened.
“Oh dear,” said Sara. “I am so proud of you and Julie, I am so glad that you are home safe and sound.”
“Thank you,” said Neon Cop. “I am so relieved that Julie is okay, too.”
“I am,” said Julie.
“I am very happy to hear that,” said Neon Cop.
“Yes,” said Sara. “We were pretty worried.”
“We certainly were,” said Neon Cop. “A little more than normal.”
