I, Peter: The Sodor Tales

Chapter 13: A Special Mission

I ran and hopped all the way to Rheneas' shed, desperate to tell him the good news. But when I saw him, he didn't look too good. His face was red and puffy, he was coughing and wheezing, and big, black puffs of smoke was coming out of his funnel.

"What's wrong?", I asked him. 

"The coal is poisoned with a really poisonous yellow rock called arsenic. I don't know what or who is doing it, but it's making us engines not function properly. Can you go find some good coal and the person that's doing all of this?"

"Of course I will", I replied. "I will do anything too help you because I want to be your friend. I would like to be a detective and solve a mystery because that would be quite the adventure. Thanks for the super secret special important mission, Rheneas!"

"You're welcome!", Rheneas coughed. "And find that coal and that culprit quickly. I'm dying an extremely painful death. My boiler is exploding, my funnel is blocked and I'm losing my breath!" Now I was really worried. Rheneas seems like a really nice engine and I would hate for him to die in such a tragic, unstoppable, irreversible way. besides, it would make the whole railway sad if he died and it might go bankrupt. I knew I had to find the coal and put the poisoner to justice.; So I set on my way, hoping to find myself closer to the solution of this problem.
