part 7

Dot and Herbert got in the car, Dot looked at him.
" Herbert, before the police catch you, what has happened since we've seen last?" She asked.
He started the car, icely staring ahead but turned to her.
" All those crystals you saw, all the wealth I had, I got them all, with my strength," He said.
Dot looked at him amazed.
" How? I mean..." She stopped.
" I stole them all," He said, still with ego.
Dot turned icy.
" Thats it! let me out of the car, if your a crimanal I am no longer wanting to know you, I knew there was a reason we didn't see each other for a while! let me out!" Dot said.
Herbert turned livid, seeing that Herbert wasn't going to let her out, she started to get up to inch toward the door. And before she knew it she was chloraformed.
" Never!" He said.
Looking over at Dee he smirked, know she knew about his crystal, she would never go back. booming along the highway he looked ahead, putting the pedal to the ground.

                               ***

She woke up later in a shed, garden tools, dirt and rugs. She wasn't tied or gagged, She was confused. She felt her head, it hurt, had she bumped her head? The door opened and Tip Molone walked in.
" Dot, Are you okay?" He asked.
She groggily looked up.
" Wheres Herbert?" She asked.
Suddenly getting up, he rushed over to her and helped her onto a chair.
" He's in the house, whoa, calm down," He said.
" Didn't the police catch him? quick!" She said.
Tip looked confused.
" Calm down sis, He's not a criminal, you must've been dreaming, You were gardening earlier and you went to get the manuare, when you didn't return, It concerned me," He said.
She looked up.
" What? that was a dream?" She asked.
Wasn't her last name Churchill? wasn't Herbert a crimanal? oh yes, that was a dream come to think of it.
" That was a bizzare dream," She said.
Herbert appeared and picked her up.
" I just returned from a business trip and I brought you back a diamond bracelet dear," He said.
Dot rested against his arms, all a dream, that was a close one.

                                                                    The End.


did you enjoy it?

what did you think of it?

part 6

" You have to tell me Herbert!" She said.
Herbert stood by the window gazing out.
" Theres nothing to say Dot," He said.
Dot wasn't so sure, Herbert was a crimanal, She was sure he had stolen all this wealth.
" There is, How did you get all this stuff?" She asked.
Herbert sat down on his plush couch.
" Why don't you just stop asking and enjoy this stuff!" He asked.
" Because I'm honest now!" She said.
They stood in silence as someone walked in, Andrew Barker, he took his overcoat off and hat, holding them over his arm. He looked up, alarmed.
" what are you doing here?" he asked.
Andrew placed the coat and hat down on the couch.
" the Police are after me, I think they think that I was the one who captured Dot," He said,
Herbert looked up, getting angry.
" Why did you go to that small town? its a small town and you were sure to be seen! you...." he failed to say profuse words looking at Dot. Dot looked down at her diamond bracelet, Herbert calmed down.
" Was the police following you?" He asked.
" Yes but I detoured them and got away via a person driving by the highway," he said.
He got up, pushing the coat and hat in Andrew's hands.
" Get out of town," he said.
Andrew, his nerves not doing good, stumbled out. Herbert reached for the phone and dialed it.
" Bud, its Herbert, I need you to pack up my stuff in my house...ya we're moving to the coast, Miami," He said.
Then he placed the phone down and looked at Dot.
" You..." he paused.
Thinking hard.
" Me?" Dot asked.
" Get in my car, We'll get you back to town," He said.
Dot's eyes enlargend.
" Then...they'll know you.." She paused uneasily.
He sighed heavily and walked to the diamond room, Leaving Dot knowing not what do do.
                                            ***
The person Victor had pinned down turned out to be a lanky teenager, blond scruffy hair looking wide eyed.
" What were you doing creeping around?" he asked.
The teenager,  Tip Molone, dusted himself off.
" I was just taking out the garbage," He said.
Victor huffed and turned him loose, Tip  went off home like a good boy.
Dave went on home, and Officer Hughes was walking back to his office, when he heard a car screech up. A few police officers walked out.
" Officer Victor hughe?" he asked.
" Yes sir, thats me," Victor said.
" We're the lubbock police department, we heard there was a suspect by the name of Herbert Clermond, have you heard of him?" he asked.
Victor shook his head.
" He has a store room of Diamonds, and he's getting hot in the news," The officers said.
                       
to be continued.

part 5

Herbert slipped the diamond bracelet on Dot's wrist, she gazed around the room, a crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, on a oak wooden table nicely varnished sat in the middle of the room, on it was silver candlesticks polished and velvet cases with diamond rings and bracelets encrusted wih diamonds, shiny and small, on the wall, their stood glass cases with silver and china sets. 

Her eyes couldn't take it all in, this was what was in the locked room! How could someone like this have all this wealth?

She felt the bracelet.

" Thankyou," She said.

" My pleasure," He said.

But something in her gave a twinge of remorse, where had he gotten all this? had he stolen these? and She hadn't talked to Herbert for a long time.

" How'd you get all this?" She asked.

Herbert smiled, his ego seemed to bounce off the roof, lazily placing his hand in his suit pocket.

" I pulled some strings, knew some contacts..." He paused for effect.

" And imported the diamonds from Africa, that was a dicy oparation, almost got caught, and the ivory was worse, I almost got cought, but I brought this home for you," He said.

He opened a cupboard above and brought out a jewerlly box, made of ivory, carved with elephant designs, she cought her breath.

" How could you Herbert?" She asked.

" I knew you'd like it," He said.

She felt the box in her hands, the smooth and cold feel then looked up.

" Herbert, a lot has happend since we've seen us last..." She paused.

Herbert nodded.

" Yes , come on, I'll put some coffee on," He said.

They walked out, leaving the lock off of the door.

                                                   **

" Let go of me!" the voice said.

Officer Hughes pulled the suspect up and beamed the flashlight in his face, the suspect sheilded his eyes, Dave winced, for it was the wrong person, it wasn't Andrew!

part 4

Dot was feeling better already, her delicate hand held the champane glass with sparkling wine in it.  Across her at the table was a young man, Herbert Clermond, who had a lot of ego, his hair parted on the side, jet black, a neat suit was on him, a white tie did the finishing touches.
" How are you doing Herbert?" She asked.
a crystal bowl held grapes and another salted nuts. Her hand took one, slipping it in her mouth.
" Good," He said, smiling like he had a secret.
Dot nodded slowly then placed the glass down, studied her hand and then looked up at the man, handsome. Then he got up.
" Come on, I'll show you something," He said.
They got up and walked to a room, that the door was closed and locked, taking a key from his pocket he unlocked the door, Dot wondered what it was in that room, For Herbert to have a locked room was not normal for him, to have a locked room meant something in there that was super important.
He fished in his pocket for the keys, but not finding any he placed them back.
" Wait here, I'll get the right one," He said.
And walked off, Dot waited, wondering what was in that room that he didn't want people to see or go in, was it money? a prisoner? He was soon back and slipped the key in the door, opening it and turned on the light, in one swift moment and beckoned Dot in, she gasped and her heart flipped for what she saw..

                                                          ****
Victor and Dave where in hot pursuit, following Andrew, another police man running after him. They turned a corner where Andrew had gone but they didn't see him in the alley, was he invisible?
" Andrew Barker, where ever you are, come out," He said.
The evening was drawing close to dark, Officer Hughes shined his light around the place, then they heard footsteps, like softly ones that were creeping away.  At once, the police officers and Dave ran up to it and Victor pounced on it, pinning the dark person down.
" Ah ha! got you Mr. Barker!" he said.

part 3

Officer Victor Hughes, looked at Dave and then sighed, took his officers hat off and placed it on his desk where he was sitting, ran his hand through his brown thick hair and then picked up a pen to write.
" whats the concern?" he asked in a bored sounding voice.
" Dot is missing, she went out for a breath of air from phillys and she disapeared," Dave said.
He was frazzled looking, his collar was wilting and sweaty, his tie askew and his hair all mussed up
Victor shot up, taking his hat.
" When this happen?" he asked.
" At lunch time," He said.
Victor had never in his life heard this before, disapeard! from this small town?
" How?" he asked.
Dave ran his hand through his hair.
" Some on said that she was taken away in a black sedan," he said.
Victor didn't need any more explaining or telling. He was out the door in seconds, Dave was close behind.
" Hop in!" Victor said
Motioning to the car door, they got in and he radioed the rest of the police officers to be on the look out. for a black sedan.
" Who do you think did it?" Victor asked.
Dave shrugged, next to him, he spied donuts in a paper bag, his hand slinked over to them and picked on up as Victor was looking at his hand held radio, started eating it.
" I do have my suspisions that Andrew did it, the mysterious man that came to town just now," He said.
" I knew it!" Officer Hughes said.
They drove down the street and spied Andrew Barker, walking down the sidewalk, nervously fiddling with a  ciggerette like he didn't know how to use it. looking up, he saw the approaching police car, who didn't have the sirens or lights on.
Looking around, he swiftly turned into a back alley and ran up it, breathing hard. He had to get ahold of a car to get out of this town.

part 2...enjoy!


Phillys was decided where they should go for lunch, a nice cafe, with a range of donuts and coffee to soups and sandwitches and delicate finger food with burgers and fries.
Dot ordered a ham sadwitch and Dave ordered a hamburger with a side of greasy fries and a bottle of orange pop.  They watched Victor, the towns police officer walk in and get his order; coffee and donuts, by now, everyone would remember what he would get, being a small town it was.

Andrew walked up to them, sitting down breifly and ordering a take out, glancing at Dot, he dropped a small note in her hand under the counter, but did it secretly so no one noticed and he walked out.

Dot acted like she was dizzy. Dave looked at her.
" You okay?" He asked.
" I just need some fresh air, I'll be back soon," She said.
And walked off, as she did unfolded the paper in her hand, it alarmed her.
" I warned you not to," 
Her eyes swelled. how did He know that she told Dave? She walked out, and down the sidewalk, when a hand went over her mouth and a pair of strong hands pulled her into the dark alley, she kicked and tried screaming, but all to no use, she was chloraformed and she went limp in the man's arms as he stuffed her in the car at the end of the alley. Andrew watched as the car drove off and he crushed the ciggerate in his hand.
" No!" He thought.
Its too late!

part 1 of Road to nowhere ( or what ever I name it)

I got the idea from this story generator..
have any ideas about the story name?
so heres part 1.

charatars
Victor Hughes- Police officer,
  Dave Jenkins Bank manager
Dot Churchill  Bank teller
 Andrew Barker Mysterious man
so here goes!
time setting: 1940's, or 30's.
theme? A bank is the location, threat is the theme. A shed is an object that plays a part in the story.

bank 

Everyone in the office turned and stared, as A taller man walked in, brown hair ruffled and a overcoat on that the cuffs were turned up, a fedora was stuck on. the bank teller, an attractive young lady's heart pouned. who was he? His hand was bandaged, looked swelled the size of an apple, The bank Manager Dave Jenkins who was carrying some files even stopped and starred, but not for long, as the other employees started busying themselves with work, but keeping a close eye on the swift moving man. the Bank manager looked at the paper as if to read it but he kept his eye on the man. 
" Can I do any thing for you sir?" Dot asked.
her voice shaked a bit, nourvous.
" Yes, I'd like to deposit this money in my bank account that I will make," He said, pulling out a wad of bills, all twentys.
She was alarmed at how much money it was. He was Rich!
" Name sir?" She asked.
" Adrew Barker," He mumbled.
She took the money and counted it slowly, counting under her breath, tapped in a note on her typwriter and then handed it to her associate to put in the vault.
" There you are Mr. Barker, is that all?" She asked
He pushed back his fedora.
" Ya," He lowered his voice
" Don't breath a word about me having this much money, or else you'ra'll going to pay for it!" He said.
The mangager's eyes narrowly looked at the man.
Dot looked at Andrew.
" Don't question it young lady, I have a small revolver under this cast and i can make it go off if any one says the word," He said.
Dot swallowed.
" Yes sir," She said.
Then he walked off, as a police officer, Vicor hughes walked in, a slim young officer.
It was a highway town, real small in the population, And why a rich man would want to invest in their bank..was weird and why not breath a word to anyone. She smiled as the attractive officer strode over to her.
" Who was that?" He asked.
" A visitor, placed some money in the bank," She said.
He picked up the newspaper that was new and walked off to the sitting area, a place he liked to socialize at lunch break when he wasn't at the bakery getting donuts. A younger girl employee walked over to him and started chatting. The manager walked up to Dot.
" What did he say? the man?" He asked.
Dot looked at him and relayed the message. The manager at once started to walk to the officer. She stopped him and shook his head.
" No...please.." Then she stopped.
And smiled, yes, she had a plan.
" How about going to the chinese diner for lunch?" She asked.
" Sure, I'll close the bank for lunch hour and we'll go," He said.
