I live in the city of Toronto which is inCanada. I live in a nice house with ps4 and a cute little brother.”JOSH WHY!” Mom, I told you Ididn’t do anything! There all wrong! “JUST GO TO YOUR ROOM!” URR,it wasn’t me.Ugh welllet me tell you what just happened to my almost nice Saturday.It was a hot summer day.I was in my room waiting for mom to make breakfast.”Josh!Comedown for breakfast!” Coming mom! I opened the door and walked downstairs into the kitchenand immediately put my eyes on my favourite of all foods,blueberry pancakes.THANKS MOM,Iyelled. No problem Josh,mom replied. So your going out to play with your friends at,2 o'clock Isuppose? Ya that's right mom.Did you talk to dad yet? No,he won’t answer any of my calls orreply to any of my messages,I wonder why?

I said after mom finished cleaning up. Oh we're goingto the mall. Oh, ok,I said after washing my plate and leaving the room.If you need me i’m in theliving room playing on the ps4! Ok darling. After some hours of playing on the ps4 and throwingthe thrash, I checked the time and it was 1:50pm. So I ran quickly upstairs and got dressed forbaseball and waited near the front door. RING RING my friends were finally here.I opened thedoor and before one of my friends could open their mouth I said OUTSIDE.Did ya hear the news! James the tallest of my friends yelled. No,I don’t read the news,I saidfirmly. YA DIDN'T HEAR THE NEWS! They all yelled at me. What about the news? I said. Thecops found 4 dead bodies just laying in blue bay park this morning. My friend Carlos said. ​4dead bodies! I yelled. That's not the worst part,they had 2 knives in them one in the head andthe other in the heart. They all looked at Carlos with a very shock look. WHO would do such athing! Gary said minutes after. Don’t know Gary,I said. After a long silent walk we finally made itto the park and started to unpack our equipment and make teams. I wonder who’s themurderer,I said after scoring a home run couple of minutes in to the game. We all want to knowto Jack and your getting the ball. James said to me. I then ran as fast as my legs could run andgot the ball and started walking back until I heard BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM and thenpeople wailing in pain. What in the world was that noise! I said. Then I quickly ran for dear life totell my friends if they heard the sound to. Did you guys hear that sound too! When I finallyfound them. Which sound,the one of Gary farting then everyone started to laugh except me. Orthat BOOM sound. The BOOM sound Carlos the BOOM sound! I’m not kidding but after theBOOM sounds I heard people wailing in pain. They all looked at me like they all thoughtsomeone had died. BEEP BEEP BEEP,James had just called 911.”HELLO! Yes. ME AND MYFRIENDS HAVE JUST HEARD GUNSHOTS AND ONE OF MY FRIEND HEARD PEOPLE

WAILING IN PAIN. ok. WE ALL THINK SOMEONE HAS BEEN MURDERED! Ok just stay putwe are sending people to come don’t try and get into trouble. WHERE AT GREEN TREESPARK! James said quickly. Ok bye.30 minutes later and we were asking James if they were actually gun shots. I know a gunshotwhen I hear one ok guys! We’re not mad at you James,we’re just wondering why did you makesuch a sudden move. MY UNCLE DIED FROM A GUN,I was right beside him. If only I called911 earlier he would’ve been here today! You never told us before,said Gary sadly. I don’t likementioning it, James replied. I think the cops are there already,I said quickly. We should gohome now it’s getting late. Jack’s right guys,Carlos said. Then we all walked home.Why so gloomy Jack? Mom said as as I walked in the house. I started to talk, when I went to getthe ball I heard gunshots and people wailing in pain. You heard gunshots! Can I just go to bedi’m not feeling to well. Sure, you can go,mom said. The next day I woke up and ate then wentstraight back to bed. I was staring at my wall imagining what had happened yesterday untilKNOCK KNOCK! Come in! I yelled at the door. my mom had just come in. Josh,someone iswaiting for you downstairs. Ok, I said to her while I left. I walked downstairs and stoppedimmediately when I saw someone in the living room. It was a man,he had black adidas shoes,ablack vest and cool looking shades and a box in his hand. Take a sit Jack,he said to me calmly.At that moment I saw who he was, he was an FBI worker. Now, why a FBI worker was in myhouse,I didn’t know. Why my mom let a FBI worker come in the house I don’t know. He openedthe boxes lock and it showed a green screen. Put your pointer finger in it please Jack,he said tome.W​ ha wha what’s going to happen.​ I said in a very careful voice. Just put your finger in. Sothen I put my finger in and waited until the green screen said in big thick red F​ INGERPRINTMATCHES.​ Jack you will be arrested now for the crime you have been caught for. Turn aroundso I can handcuff you, said the man​. What did I DO!​ I yelled. You know what you did Jack,youkilled 4 people. What,but I didn’t kill anybody. I then heard very loud footsteps coming down thestairs. I think your wrong Dave! Jack wouldn’t have done something like this.Mom had juststepped in the room. Mom you know this man? Yes Jack,he ​WAS​ your dad’s best friend. Momsaid with a very angry voice. It wasn’t my fault! Said the man very angrily. YOU can talk about itwhen George comes home! I’ll come and pick Jack up next week to arrest him. Said the manwith a very angry voice. Then the man had left the house. JOSH WHY! Mom immediatelysaid.Mom, I told you I didn’t do anything! There all wrong! I said. “JUST GO TO YOUR ROOM!URR,it wasn’t me. So that’s what happened to my almost nice saturday. I was stuck in my roomfor the next couple of hours until I heard several knocks on my door. My friend Carlos followedby James and Gary came running towards me. I can’t believe people think your the one whokilled those people at the park yesterday. James said. How do you guys know about it. I saidcuriously. It’s all over the news! But ya didn’t have to kill people to be on news Jack. I DIDN’TKILL ANYBODY! ​ I​ yelled. Chill man chill! We were just joking! But still why does everyone thinkyour the one. Gary asked. It's because the fingerprint on the gun that killed those innocentpeople matches my fingerprint. How do you know that? asked James. A FBI worker came to myhouse a couple of hours ago. REALLY! They all said to me. Yup! I replied back. But I'm going tobe arrested next sunday,only if I had proof it wasn't me I wouldn't be going. I have a plan! Yelled

out James. Dad has some tasers in the garage that we can use. Wait wait wait your saying thatwe should go hunt the real murderer,asked Carlos. Exactly!replied James. Your so DUMB!Yelled Gary. The guy killed 8 adults now and you think we can get him with tasers! Yelled Gary.Let's start tomorrow,meet at my house at 3 pm,bye! James said ignoring what ever Gary said..Why am I friends with you guys! Gary said. Bye Jack! Yelled Carlos. Then they all had left myhouse and I then jumped on my bed and started to think about the next day.CAN WE JUST GO TO THE TASERS! I yelled at James. We we're at James house. Ok ok letsgo,James opened the doors to the garage and picked up 4 tasers and gave each of us 1. Heshowed us how to use them and later on the day we started doing target practise on sometrees. Can we go in to the forest now I think we're ready,Carlos said. Yeah lets go guys, Jamessaid. A couple of minutes later, me and my friends we're inside the forest searching for themurderer. If I was a murderer where would I hide? Carlos said. Ya, where would a murdererhide. James said. GUYS! It's a hut! Gary yelled. Come on! A hut in the middle of thewoods,that's just weird. James said. We all then walked in the hut and saw pictures of peoplewith red X's on their faces and some with no X's at all. Umm, there's a picture of Noah Barnsand he was murdered 2 days ago and there's another one of Casey Hudson who also wasmurdered 2 days ago,they have red X's on their faces too,Gary said. Guys I think this is the,the,murderers house. Carlos said. We all think that Carlos,James added. A couple of minutes ofsearching and we saw a picture which looked very familiar,the picture was had Gary on it. Noneof us said a word. We better get out of here before the murderer comes back,I said. TOO LATE!A voice said.There was a man at the door holding a revolver at Gary's head. But he looked very familiar,tofamiliar actually, and I knew who he was but I was to shocked, so shocked that it felt like I gotstung by a taser more than a million times. Then I said his name.DAD! I'm so sorry Jack. My boss forced me too and plus,he would give me 50 million dollars if Ikilled these people for him. Now say bye to your friend Gary! SHOOT HIM! I said. I took thetaser out of my pocket and mustered all the energy in my body to pulled the trigger on my dad.Last thing I remembered was a pain in my left arm and a BOOM sound and then everythingwent black.I opened my eyes,my eyesight was still blurry but I figured out where I was. I was laying on abed in a hospital room. My mom was laying in front of me crying while my brother was sitting onthe chair with a very focused look on his ipad. He really didn't care if his only brother got shot inthe arm from a gun. Hey mom,I said weakly. My mom looked at me with her beautiful emeraldgreen eyes. Your alive! She said very worriedly. What happened to Gary!? I asked mom veryloudly. She looked at me with the most saddest face in the world and she said, Gary had died aonly 10 minutes ago. A huge lump formed in my throat when she said the word died and nextthing you know I was crying. Gary was a friend that was very hard to find because of how niceand fair he was to others. Now he's dead because my dad shot him. What happened to dad? Iasked with water still coming from my eyes. Your dad has been sent to death row and your not

going to prison anymore. He deserved it because he's not my dad anymore. I said. Does yourarm hurt honey? Mom asked me. Not that much,I replied. A couple of minutes later a doctorcame in and said that I was dismissed. After that day my life changed a lot. My neighbors likeme even more, the kids at school liked Carlos,James and me too. Everyday I used to rememberour best friend Gary. Oh yea,here's a fact, me and my dad have the same exact fingerprintsthat's why the FBI thought it was me who killed those people.
