A Suspicious Man

Don't Worry...

     It was a gloomy day.The clouds looked full of water as though they were about to burst and empty themselves on the earth. 

     Eloise could hear the leaves rustling against one another as she walked home after a long day of school followed by CCA (Co-curricular activities) in the afternoon.

     Eloise heard a car door slam shut and she turned where the sound came from. She saw a stationary white van that looked old and rusted.

     A tall, bony, middle-aged man opened the boot of the van. He paused and turned around to scan the surroundings. 

     Eloise instinctively ducked behind the bushes where I was hiding. Though it was for short period of time, anxiety filled her.

     "Oh no, has he spotted me?" Eloise thought to herself as she felt drops of sweat drip onto her legs. 

     The man reached into the boot and and took out a suitcase. 

     He quickly scanned this surroundings again as he walked onto the porch of the house.

     The house completely looked run-down as though it had been abandoned for years.

     Eloise saw him easily opened the house door as if were not locked. A cloud of dust and ash smoked into the air as he shut the door behind him.

     Thoughts came running in and out of Eloise's mind. "What if he was hiding money? Or maybe he's got something cult going on and they're planning to kill everyone who's in their way!" Her thoughts started to get out of her control.

     Eloise whipped out her phone and dialed "999". With every ring her heart started to beat faster.

     "Hi, uum... I saw a suspicious man who just walked into a run-down house with a brief case...Yeah, its 125 Jalen Euros," Eloise gave the police man my location.

      She put my phone back into her pocket and tried to reassure herself. "The police will be here soon, stop worrying," Eloise kept repeating to myself.
