The Hollywood Mystery

Chapter 1 

August 10, Sunday,

12:42 

John Mathews stumbled on the rocks in Mount Lee, his breaths taken away. He saw a small shack from which small amounts of lights were produced.  He was so tired that he couldn't even walk anymore. He sat down beside the Hollywood sign. Suddenly, he became aware of a person staring at him. Becoming alert at once, he tried to locate the person. With nobody in his sight, he started walking again. Then, all of the sudden, a person gripped him around the neck tightly. Struggling to breathe, he tried to dislocate the hand, but the left hand of the mysterious attacker produced a revolver. "Good evening John." A deep voice spoke so suddenly that 35-year-old John stopped. The revolver went deep inside his spinal cord. "Now, now, John, whatever you do, you can't possibly escape before you run out of breath." Hissed the attacker. He pushed John to the iron "L" of the enormous sign. "Where is it?" "I don't know! Only the Godfather knows the location." John cried. "Interesting." said the attacker as he cocked his revolver." The same thing all you're mates said. Poor thing that I was not a fool to believe it." John broke into a sweat. "My lie had not worked." He thought. It is time. "Wait, I have not yet told you something." He then said the same thing he practiced in this situation. "Good. You could work under pressure. Now." He pointed to John's chest. "You have the time to keep another secret." "I told you the secret of the Legions! Now you.." John lost words. "My dear John, you have an idea of my face, and now since you have proven yourself you're not trustworthy, I can't take the risk." With those fateful words, The attacker shot five times into John's chest before he can even react to the damage to his body. Then, he disposed of the gun under a fistful of dirt and mud, and then, as the attacker silently slithered away, John Mathews was left alone with a deadly secret for a second time.

Ms Monica, aka, The Banshee, was in a fight with the secret spy John Markson or Agent Diamond. John was famous for his quick wit, but today was not his day. You see, all he had was a Magnum 8 series revolver and 10 cartridges. John was in a good card game against the bodyguards of Banshee, when. "You see, we can't give you The stone, because it is the most prized possession, Mama Monica has got. So, Mike, I am sorry but no money can do it." Said Bryce, Banshee's trusted bodyguard. "No money at all? How about 1 million?" John asked, his eyes fixed on the cards. "Too Sour," said Anthony, another bodyguard. "10 million?" John gave again, his eyes not wandering. "Still not enough," replied Steve. "How about 100?" John finally gazed at Bryce's eyes. Hi...

The Hollywood Mystery 4

Chapter 4  August 11, Monday  11:15 am  29 minutes later, The Subaru reached Mount Lee, the scene of the crime. Since it was so steep, Micheal parked the Subaru on Mount Lee Dr and started climbing the mountain with Paul and Martin. One thing he noticed is that a lot of police cars were parked outside. Like a LOT. After 2 minutes, Paul stopped, saying he can't walk anymore. Martin tried to talk some sense into him by saying they were just 30 meters. This angered Paul and as usual, both of them started fighting. Micheal left the two nut heads to continue the climb up. After half an hour, he reached the scene, where it was so crowded he had to try and push myself in. Suddenly, a thick arm pulled him inside to the front. It was director Oliver Doucun. He pulled the boy inside the scene, where Micheal saw the body for the first time. He knelt down. The man lay in a vertical posture, which had a lot of blood, especially in the chest area. Paul and Martin joined a few minutes l...

Chapter 6  August 11, Monday  11:56 am  A microphoned voice popped out from somewhere. "Good Morning, this is the estate of John Mathews. Can I help with anything?" said the voice. "We are FBI agents," Paul said and looked at Bryan examining a bush. "We would like to inspect this estate." "Certainly." The voice said as the gates opened. Two lanes of a fountain lay beside each side the entrance was covered with beautiful white tiles. An angel with a scroll was situated on top of the fountain shooting water down from the mouth. Martin said something to Paul inaudible to Micheal and both started laughing. This was something, Micheal never understood. Half an Hour ago, they had argued about climbing a mountain, now they share jokes and laugh at it. How they were able to recover so quickly, Micheal never knew. Paul and Bryan went to the right side of the estate while Micheal and Martin when to the left. Micheal started looking for the number to see if...
