the phantom's revenge

about a detective and a mystery case -.-"

     A dark and cold night....A person suddenly came rushing from a corner,shouting"Help!He's out to get me.....Somebody..Help!". Then,suddenly,the shouting stopped. The last thing he saw was a shadow coming from a corner.The next thing he knew it,he was dead!

 

      Police investigation started in the morning.It looks like nothing happened.Traces of blood were the only clue they could find.No one knows who the mystery killer is...

 

       The police assigned detective Henry to solve this case.They knew that he could do the job."Be careful..Anyone who saw him never lived to tell the tale."the police warned.

   That night,he started the investigation of this mystery killer.He observed that the blood stain was only on one spot.So, he thought that the person was carried away.

  

         The next morning,he went back to the scene of the crime with his loyal companion,Rusty.He used Rusty to sniff out where the killer is.The dog only went to a dead end.Then,it started barking very loudly like something was bothering it.

 

          That night, the dog barked so loudly that it woke up Henry.Then, the barking stopped.He knew that something was wrong.He grabbed a flashlight to see what was going on.He was surprised when he saw the dog...The dog was already dead.He got confused at first but he noticed a piece of cloth that got snagged from a bush.

 

            He went to his filecase and put the piece of cloth there.He noticed that the cloth was somehow familliar.It was like he has seen it before.The next morning,he went back to his filecase and went to look for all possible suspects.He only found one though.Then,beads of sweat started to roll down his face.He tried to calm himself down.He whispered this words with a quivering voice"He's back"..

 

            It was the Phantom.A person he encountered in one of his past investigations.An accident happened when Henry was trying to catch him.The last words of the phantom was"I'll be back...and I'm going to get you!".Then,he disappeared without a trace..

 

              He thought that it wasn't real."It can't be true..He's already dead."he said to himself.He went out to get some fresh air.He suddenly remembered the dead end his dog was barking at.He went back to investigate.

              After he arrived,Henry saw some writings on the wall.It was written with blood.It said"I'm gonna get YOU!!!!".Suddenly,a knife hit his arm.He looked around to see who threw the knife.No one was there except him. He was relieved that the knife didn't hit his back.

 

               He went to the hospital to get the wound examined.He waited for the doctor in the waiting area.Then,the lights started to flicker on and off.When the doctor came,the lights stopped.

 

              They went to the clinic of the doctor."It might take a while."the doctor said.While the doctor was examining the wound,Henry looked at the face of the doctor.He saw the face of the Phantom.Half of the face of the doctor was burned.He blinked twice and realized he was hallucinating."What's wrong?"the doctor exclaimed."Nothing..."he answered.

 

                He went back to his house.He went to the bathroom and washed his faced.When he looked in the mirror,He saw the face of the phantom.It talked to him and said "DO YOU REMEMBER ME???".He got freaked out that he accidentally broke the mirror.

 

                  He went to bed and fell asleep.When it struck midnight,he remembered his last encounter with the Phantom.He was trying to catch the Phantom.He tried to shoot him down.But instead of hitting the Phantom,He shot the nearby oil tank.It started a fire! The Phantom was caught in the fire.Then,the place started to burn and the ceilings started to collapse.He wanted to help him but he knew that both of them would die if he did.He left the Phantom trapped in the burning building.that was the time the Phantom said"I'll be back and I'm going to get you.Mark my words..".Henry then woke up, trying to catch his breath as if it was real.He was tired and wet from prespiration.He drank a glass of water and went back to sleep.

 

                  The next morning,someone knocked at the door.He went out to check who was it.It was a lady,wearing a blue blouse and jeans."Who are you and what are you doing here?"Henry asked."I came by to warn you.You will need help in this mission."the lady answered."Sorry but i think i can handle it alone."Henry answered."Don't worry.I'll be there when the time comes."the lady said and left.

 

                   That night, something wasn't right.He couldn't fall asleep.The air seems to feel so heavy around him.He went out to look for something but he doesn't know what was it.After reaching the living room,He saw him.He saw the Phantom."This can't be true!"Henry shouted."WE MEET AGAIN..."the Phantom said.Then,a cold sensation crawled down his spine.He couldn't believe he was actually seeing the burning face of the Phantom.The Phantom's burning hand reached out to him.He wanted to run but he was petrified of terror.When the Phantom grabbed his hand,Henry felt the pain of being burned to death.

 

                      Henry suddenly woke up and realized it was just a dream.But when he looked at his arm,there were marks of burns.He touched it and it hurted.He said to himself"Maybe...I do need help...".

 

                        He walked to his friend's house,Larry.Then,a fire truck headed the same way.Scared of what might have happened,he ran towards the house.He saw that his friend's house was on fire.His friend was badly injured and brought to the hospital.Before he left,he saw the Phantom on the top of the burning building,laughing.

 

                           He went to the hospital where his friend was.He talked to his friend."Are you ok now?"Henry said with concern."I....would be lying if I said yes...."Larry said while trying to catch his breath."Damn...who did this to you?!"Henry shouted."It...was...."Larry said.Then, Larry has gasped his last breath.

 

                          Henry then remembered the Phantom.He finally made up his mind to finish their battle,once and for all.He went to the abandoned factory,the same factory where the Phantom died.He wasn't sure of what will happen.The only thing he knew that he will end this.

 

                       He entered the factory.Darkness enclosed him like an envelope.Light was barely seen.Then, a shadow passed quickly in front him.Henry took two steps backward,unsure of what it might be.Then, something grabbed him. It was the Phantom.

His hands sent a burning sensation to Henry's body.Henry took out a knife and wounded the Phantom's hand.

 

                        He then started to run for he knew he was no match.He bumped into a oil container."THE TABLES HAVE TURNED NOW,HENRY."the Phantom said.

Henry,confused on what to do,tip the container over and the oil was spilled.

When the Phantom stepped on it,a fire started.It was like when the accident happened.

   The only thing they don't know was the fire was near in burning the gas tank."NOW YOU TOO WILL EXPERIENCE THE WAY YOU KILLED ME.IT WAS YOU'RE FAULT THAT I DIED AND NOW I'M GONNA KILL YOU"the Phantom said.Henry said"I know it was my fault!But I really wanted to save you but I didn't have the guts to do it.".Just before the Phantom was going to kill Henry,a large explosion happened.

 

                           Henry was thrown into the air.He landed on the ground covered in burns and wounds.He last saw a lady standing in front of him then he lost consciousness.He woke up finding himself in an hospital."Ugh...What happened?"Henry asked."Be grateful that I saved your life."the lady said."Anyway, I got to go now.Don't worry.I've already paid the fees."she added while heading towards the door."Wait!What happened to the Phantom?"Henry asked."He's gone.He won't be bothering you anymore.My brother has already forgiven you."the lady said.Then,she disappeared.

 

                            That was the last time Henry saw the lady.It was also the last time he encountered the Phantom.His job went on smoothly and he did became a famous detective.But,even though he finished a lot of other jobs, he will never forget...the Phantom's revenge..

 

the end.
