THE MYSTERIOUS CASE OF MRS. ROSE

 I, John Watson, am a crime fighter. Solving cases of deaths, robbery, murders or mysterious disappearances are very fascinating to me. Now I am not showing off but some of my fans really make me feel over the moon by saying that I am the LEGEND SLAYER. And I am not going to lie but I really love this title. Anyways, usually these days I am getting simpler tasks it’s kind of boring but still I try to enjoy them. And this evening was also the same. It was 8:30pm and it was raining. There was an excessive amount of storm and lightning there. The wind was howling. It was fog everywhere. It sure was a chilly evening. I was sitting in my large and spacious office on a solid wooden chair. Until, George, my friend, came up to me. He handed me a file. I sighed. I thought that this is also going in the list of “lame cases”. But to my surprise, this time it was different. He told me that the case was of a mysterious death. I couldn’t be happier. Finally, after half a decade of months, I can solve a real crime. Now the case was that there was a lady whose name is Rose, she was driving her car slowly to avoid the traffic, but to take a shortcut she went in the fourth lane and not the sixth lane. Now there are some rumors or urban legends or beliefs that it’s the cursed lane because there is haunted house there. I personally don’t want to believe in this rumor. So, there was no traffic in that lane, so Mrs. Rose kept driving. But the mysterious thing was no one noticed her going in that lane nor coming out of the lane. But in the evening, they found her, she was badly injured, the doctors could not save her. I went to see her. She looked like a young woman with average height. Now here’s the deal, I must find about this mysterious death case. I was sitting on my chair and looking at Mrs. Rose’s photo. As an evidence item, I did find out her

phone and diary with solid brown leather cover. Her diary was very useful, by the diary I was able to find out in which hostel she lives. The next day, I went to the locals to go deeper into this case. I went to the hostel, but that didn’t work as she didn’t have many friends. I was a little but worried as I was running out of options. Then I thought to myself that maybe going to the lane where Mrs. Rose went could help. That’s it, decision taken. I went to the fourth lane and no kidding it looked abandoned; it looked like the store of negativity. It was dark and scary. The lane looked like a dark monster who lurk in the dark. In spite of all these horrors, I still followed the path. Something was off about that lane. I was able to see the exit the lane but whenever I try to exit the lane, it becomes longer. Strange isn’t it. I’ve been walking in that lane for about 30 mins, and I was freaking out. Until, I saw tire marks, a car’s tire marks. I could easily tell that those tire marks were of

MERCEDES-EQS, not to mention my favorite sedan car of all time. Mercedes EQS is an electric car of Mercedes which is looks awesome. Anyways, I kept following the marks until I found out that the markings ended in the middle of nowhere. This case was getting deeper.

I was starting to forget my potential. I was starting to worry. I was standing literally in the middle of nowhere. I felt so awkward that the only thing left to do was to run. So, I chose my last resort, and I basically ran like a MANIAC. For some reason, I thought I was racing with wind, because I could literally hear the screeching of the wind. It felt like they were dragging me. I cannot describe that situation but the next thing I knew was that I fainted and found myself on the main road. Phew, I felt so lucky that I almost wanted to dance but let’s not forget that the case is not over yet. Now, I must mention that TIME was not stable for me. Seriously, When I entered the lane, it was 11am and when I woke up it

was 7pm already. I thought things couldn’t get any more mysterious than that but I was wrong. I just realized that her friends told me that Mrs. Rose just had an old scooter and no other vehicle. She could not even afford a Mercedes. Oh boy! This thing is confusing. I stayed near the fourth lane, looking for some clue but nothing happened. It was seriously 12am, and I was still there. Until I heard something. I heard the voices of people. I thought I would be a gathering or something, but the astonishing thing was that it was coming from the fourth lane, so I decided to check. And to my surprise the haunted house was the place where all these noises were coming. Ok something is just not right; I just like 5-6 hours ago saw an abandoned house and now it looks like a house where people live. Wait, was this a plan of Mrs. Rose? Was she tricking me or something? My mind was filled with the ocean of questions. Something was not just setting right. I’m not buying this. I finally decided to check what in the world is going on. As soon as I took my first step on the wooden floor, all the lights went out and all the people stopped yammering. In fact, there were no people. It felt that the people were like wind. I decided to get out of here, but it was too late. I was in the house. Now, from here is how my worst nightmares were coming true. It felt like the wind was whispering to me. I was trying my best to be brave until one little thing happened to me. I saw an old rusty chair moved by its own. I got so scared after seeing that I almost fainted. Until the wooden floor below me cracked open, and I fell. I was so scared that I fainted. Well, let’s just say that when I opened my eyes, I found myself in the basement, and in front of me there was a cradle, why? It was also moving on its own!! After seeing that I screamed so loud that all the lights were back on. And what I saw was astonishing. There were green screens (virtual screens) everywhere. There were props, fans, and music players. Now hear me out, I had mixed feelings and that time; I was furious and relieved at the same

time. But behind those screens, I saw a dark shadow lurking in the dark. With evil laughter he came to the light, he was GEORGE! My old friend was the one who literally gave me the case. I was shocked. Before I could utter a word, I saw a knife on my shoulder, I turned back, and I saw a ghost! I shrieked so high that the windows cracked, but turned out that it was just a mask, under the mask was the face of Mrs. Rose! She was alive! I was so confused. I asked her what in the world is all this, but I don’t think that she understands, I was stammering way too much. But I don’t think that there was an explanation required. George pressed a secret button which was camouflaged on one the walls which opened a secret room. There were stacks of millions of dollars kept in that room. It was all coming back to me. I knew that the only thing George wanted was MONEY. And I remembered that Mrs. Rose hostel friends told me that she always reads Mercedes magazine, so it turns out that those tire marks were of Mercedes. But the question was how? They both again gave me a creepy smile and removed their masks. Those both were professional murderers who killed people for their money and as George had eyes on my wealth, he wants to snatch it away from me. That also cleared up one mystery that George loved someone, but he never told me. It was Mrs. Rose. Oh man, I don’t think that her name is Mrs. Rose. Those both were ready to kill me, but I was not worried. You know why? Because I wear a special chip on my shirt which every time informs my seniors and my junior police officers that where I am. As soon as they moved forward, they came to know that they were surrounded by police, the police broke the door, came inside, rescued me, and sent those 2 criminals to jail. So, let’s just say that there is nothing as cursed lane and George probably made-up Mrs. Rose’s story so that people can be more scared. So, this was it, a thrilling adventure with lots of fun.
