The Case of the Stolen Diamond

In a small town there were two detectives, Bob and Tom. In this town there weren’t many people so when a crime occurred it was up to them. Bob was the smart one, he sees the small detailed things in crimes, things that an average person could not see. Tom on the other hand wasn’t the smartest guy around, he liked to mess around and have fun, but somehow he and Bob got the job done. In the town there is one diamond shop and unfortunately, it was robbed. Mrs. Smith the owner called the detectives and needed their help. She needed them to come done and check out the crime scene. Bob right away thought he knew he might have committed the crime. Mrs. Smith was elated, but Bob told her it is not going to be that easy. Mrs. Smith was very upset because it was her most valuable diamond and she needed to know the robber before she went on vacation. The detectives quickly started their job. Bob started looking for clues and Tom was looking at the diamonds. The next thing they had to do is question the suspects. These suspects are Sarah, Christine, and Shawn. They both have criminal records and Christine has been to jail before. When they questioned the suspects, they asked where they where and what they were doing the day and time of the robbery. All of them seemed like a valid suspect, so it was obvious that solving this crime would not be easy. As soon as Detective Bob and Detective Tom gathered all the information about the crime they went out to get information about the possible suspects. The first person they interviewed was the jewelry store owner Mrs. Smith. She told them that she lives near the store and when she was asleep at midnight she heard a loud crash and gunfire. She said she ran off to the store to see what was going on and she saw someone dressed all in black break in and steal the diamond. She tried to stop the person but the thief tied her up and knocked her unconscious with a punch. She said she couldn’t remember anything else so Detective Bob and Detective Tom moved on and interviewed someone else. The next person they interviewed was a woman named Christine. She said that the incident woke her up and she went to see what was going on and saw the entire scene. She didn’t know who the burglar was but she said that the burglar told her that if she says anything about this robbery that she will be killed. The next person the detectives questioned was a guy named Shawn who was wearing a diamond keychain and a diamond ring. He said he loves diamonds but didn’t know what Detective Bob was talking about. Detective Bob didn’t believe him and thought he was lying but Shawn told him that he was not. They moved on to a woman named Sarah who was very kind to them and told them that she had no idea what they were talking about and claimed that she hates diamonds. As Sarah was talking, Detective Bob noticed some blood on her hands and tiny pieces of glass on her shoes. When Bob questioned her about the cuts on her hands and how she got the glass on her shoes Sarah hit him with her purse and ran away. After Sarah ran away Detective Bob noticed some medium pieces of glass on the street. They took it back to their office to examine it. When they looked at it Detective Bob saw some little spots of blood on it. Before he could see anything else Detective Tom grabbed it to get a better view of it. However it fell right out of his hands and shattered on the floor, breaking into a bunch of small pieces. This irritated Detective Bob and he called Tom a clumsy idiot. Detective Tom said that it was an accident but Detective Bob said he didn’t want to hear it and asked Tom why did they ever let a clumsy, dumb, idiot join the force. This insulted Detective Tom and they had an argument. Mrs. Smith yelled at them to stop wasting valuable time arguing and go catch the criminal. Detective Bob backed away from Tom and told everyone to get in his car. Everyone except Tom crammed into Bob’s small car. Detective Tom just stayed behind silently. Detective Bob, pretending not to notice, started to back the car out of the parking lot. They were already on the street once Mrs. Smith rolled down the window and called to Detective Tom. Detective Tom waved them off, telling them he no longer wanted to be a detective. He took of his detective badge and tossed it carelessly into the middle of the street. Everyone in the car was silent. Then Detective Bob got out and picked up Tom’s old badge. He quickly got back in, not wanted to waste anymore time, and drove away in the direction Sarah disappeared. Tom, no longer a detective, solemnly watched them leave down the street. He turned and walked away in the opposite direction, not knowing where else to go. Because Detective Bob was so angry, he did not feel one bit of sadness about Detective Tom leaving. He instead focused all his brain power towards catching Sarah. He swore he was going to find this girl, and nothing was going to stop him. For about a mile he followed Sarah's path, then he carefully got out of the car and began to investigate. Sarah was stupid enough to unconciously leave tracks everywhere she walked, so all they had to do was follow these tracks. He realized the tracks were obviously taking an intricate path, so he decided to travel the rest of the way on foot. On his way he passed a couple of bystanders. He asked them what they witnessed and they gave him details. Although most of the bystanders were not much help, one girl helped the officer very much. She told him that she saw a girl run to the left and down a long steep driveway. Detective Bob decided to sit and rest for one quick moment. While he was resting, he finally got all of his thoughts together. It finally dawned on him that he might've lost Detective Tom for good! This worried him very much so he decided to call Detective Tom, but there was no answer. Detective Tom always has his phone, so it was clear to Detective Bob that he was ignoring him. He called again and again until he lost hope. He decided that calling Detective Tom wasn't going to help him solve the crime, so he carried on. The long driveway lead to a wooden cabin, he knocked on the door but no one answered. He then kicked down the door to take a look inside; he saw Sarah and one of her friends in the cabin examining the diamonds Sarah had stolen. Detective Bob screamed "You are under arrest! Both of you!" Once he had handcuffed them both, he took them down to his car. A few days after Sarah and her friend got arrested someone wrote a story about it in the newspaper and they talked about it on tv. One day detective Tom was watching the news at his house and a reporter interviewed Detective Bob about the case. Detective Bob admitted that the case was a little hard to solve and very boring with Tom there screwing things up. He said that he was lonely without a partner. He also said that Tom isn’t a bad person and does a good job when he’s not messing things up. He told the reporter that he also regrets insulting and yelling at Tom all the time. The next day Detective Tom walked into the detective headquarters and went to ask the boss for his job back. The boss gave him back his detective badge that Detective Bob picked up and Tom got his job back. Then Tom went to talk to Detective Bob and apologize for his clumsiness and leaving. They made up and became friends again. Mrs. Smith called them on the phone and thanked them for solving the case. She said that she is now reopening the store.
