Blood Money by Karamveer Singh Aulak
Ding dong! The doorbell rang and rang at 52 Henchbridge Road. "I'll get it mum!" shouted Tommy Lee running down the stairs. The doorbell kept on ringing. Tommy reached the door and slowly grabbed the handle and opened the creaking door. Tommy peered at the strange small person. He wore a black suit with a blue tie, before Tommy could say anything the unusual looking fellow burst out with continuous laughter. Tommy looked puzzled and started scratching his head in search of an explanation for this bizarre behaviour he was witnessing.
" Hello there Mr Lee good day to win a competition ? Well congratulations you have won a once in a lifetime opportunity !!2 blurted out the wacky salesman. Tommy looked more confused than ever.
"Ok nice prank ," said Tommy yawning.
"No Mr Lee this isn't a prank it's the truth !" Just as he was going to go in to more detail a siren was heard getting closer and closer, the salesman looked around nervously. He then pulled out a letter and handed it to Tommy.
He then turned around and ran with a weird look on his face. Tommy stood their flabbergasted with his mouth wide open. The police car zoomed past as the salesman was running down the street. Tommy turned around and walked in to his house and slowly shut the door, his face went blank with no expression what so ever.
The kitchen door opened it was Miss Lee entering the after putting the blue washing basket on the floor. She walked straight in to the living room.
" Tommy who was that at the door ?" asked Miss Lee. Tommy shook his head out of the trance he was in and started scrunching up the letter and slid it in to his back pocket.
" Oh just a girl scout trying to sell some cookies mum. I told here we weren't interested." replied Tommy. Miss Lee wondered back in to the kitchen. Tommy gasped a sigh of relief and then pulled out the letter. He started to read it.
