Write a short story

Sujet du devoir

Bonjour, pour demain j'ai du écrire une histoire courte en anglais. La voici, mais elle n'est pas terminée :

« we have to throw the body »

2 days after

The police is inquiering about the disturbing disappearance of the young Mark Farley. They don’t even know if he’s still alive or not. Meanwhile, this sister was worried, convinced that this is a settling of accounts

« why did he leave? and if he had been killed ...?» she says, crying.

Mark Farley had just come out of prison, where he remained for drug trafficking. He was realised on parole and lived with his sister, while he was searching for a job. But this is what he wanted her to believe : in fact, his first goal was to restart business.

« I’m conviced it is Dave Huck. He killed him, this murderer... Don’t he understand that all my brother want is to be clean and have a normal life ! »

In real, sophie Farley had a too idealized vision of her brother. This one relied Dave to run a business together. Dave Huck was a gangster well know to the police. He already went in jail, after he has been one of the bigger drug dealer of Edinburgh. But this is past. Now, he got his own pub he runs with his wife, Stacy. He also has a son, John, who is a serious law student. Despite this, the police consider him a suspect This seems strange to them to see two old drug dealers together. In fact, it is Mark who harassed Dave by going often to his workplace, but Dave’s position was the same : he was determined to live a normal life. Sophie kept thinking about her brother. Fortunately, her housemate, Tina, was here to support her. Before his stay in jail, he had already leave his house to travel abroad for months without telling anyone. Tina then connected with this story to comfort her by saying that maybe he is temporarily gone and he will return. It's the only thing that was holding Sophie.

The days following, the police is still convinced that Dave is at the center of the story. They géo-localized Mark’s mobile phone and were thus able to see that the last time his phone was located, it was by the sea, in the Port of Leith.

« we have to tell you something about your brother… It’s hard to tell… we found your brother’s body into the sea. It's been several days that his body was in there. He is dead… »

Sophie was terrified. She was standing there, saying nothing.

« We're doing the best we can to find out who committed the crime. We rely on you to give us additional guidance if there's something you remember ».

She was still shocked. She was listening to what they were saying, but she did not react. By the time they crossed the door to leave her home, she fell into tears.

« i know it’s this man who killed him ! what are you waiting for ? his place is in jail, and your job is to take murderers to jail, right ? »

« wait… who are you talking about ? »

« Dave Huck of course! You know that he is the only one who used to see Mark after his release from jail, so why don’t you nail him ? »

Sophie was getting crazy. The police men returned to their workplace, promising to Sophie to find a proof to arrest Dave. Days pass and Sophie has less and less hope to find the murderer. She is no longer working. Without Tina’s support, she was not going to hold out. The police kept Dave on surveillance and end up making an interesting discovery. They surprise him in conversation with a chemist, Caprio, known to the police. Mark has in fact persuaded caprio that, with Dave’s help, he will sell of all of his production, that represent more than 30 kilos of méthamphétamine, but Dave didn’t know about it. He told him that he won’t restart these business anymore.  

“This is none of my business, Mark told me we’re going to work together so we’re going to do it, with or without him. »

 I already told you that I won’t do it.  it is useless to insist “

« Do it if you care about your family »

That’s all he said before he leaved. It was not possible for Dave to put his family in danger. He was thinking all day long about that.
