Writing The Young Detective

Task DESCRIPTION:This week we had to do a narrative. i will finish my story soon.

pobble365

It had been three days since it had gone missing. One minute he had held it in his hand, the next it had vanished. How could it just have disappeared? It had been right in front of his eyes!
He had been warned about what would happen if he lost it. His mission had been to guard the key with his life, ever since they visited him last summer.
Adam had always had a detective’s instinct. They had told him as much. He had been chosen because he had certain skills, and he would need them more than ever now.
Only one clue had seemingly been left, which was sat on the living room table.
Holding the magnifying glass up to his eye, Adam began to investigate…




Adam kept trying and trying but he just got nothing. At times he will give up but then at the same time dad will look at him and nod his head like he was depending on him, Even tho Adam’s dad did not know what he was looking for.When dad left the room Adam had gone looking in his dad stuff even when his dad said  that he was not allowed too.So Adam just took the magnifying and  took A good look, When Adam got to the book Area he started taking the books out of the cupboard and got ready to   look for Answers, But then he got none.As soon when his dad came in the room he saw to books on the floor and was not mad for A second then went out the room again, Adam’s dad came back in and said 
“Adam what are you  doing”
“Nothing dad i'm just looking for a book”
“Wow you don’t have to leave them all on the floor”
“Sorry about that”
“Next time do it properly”
“OK”
It was like Adam’s dad was hiding something from him.When Adam’s mum yelled  
“Boy’s came and have dinner” 
“The boys yelled back Ok” 
As Adam saw the last book in the cupboard he ran to it like it was his dream, Adam pulled the book and BOOM he was gone……

As soon as Adam’s dad turned around Adam was gone Adam’s dad yelled  and yelled  but still Adam would not respond. As Adam’s dad saw the last book in the cupboard he walked over to it but slowly when he pulled the book Adam’s dad disappeared too.
Mum came in the room and didn’t see the boys anywhere. Adam's mum ran down to the living room and called the cops and some detective, It took them 20 minutes to get to the house.
“Finally  they  are here”

Adam’s Mun came down and opened the door fast and began to talk.
