Story [Issue 16] Theft at the Factory - Part 1

[Lhamster 4,081]

No, I know what you're thinking, but I haven't written a story for the first time ever, this is by Vikingsrall, who is one of our new reporter candidates!

 

 

Everyone’s a suspect. No evidence and no motive. 

 

 In northwestern Ohio, in the beautiful town of Lima, partial production of the “Freeze” has been moved to the Lima Army Tank Plant facility from the Zhukov Research Institute, after themselves taking on other projects leaving them no room to produce small to medium size parts that are essential for the gun. Lima residences were shocked by this odd move and are weary.  Workers don’t seem to mind, other than the Russian foreman sent to keep track of production.  Taking pride in his heritage, claiming to have ancestors that were Cossacks, frequently bringing it up during department meetings to motivate when things are going good, and reference it when they screw up. Production has been going for just over a month and at a steady pace.  Parts are made, packaged, and shipped to the factory in Russia to be assembled in the gun. 

 

 Head Security officer of the facility, Jared Belle, has been on his toes. He is one of the many weary people of the town.  “Why would production of something for Russians end up here?” he thought, sensing it would bring unwelcome attention. He liked working there with the staff, fellow officers, and workers; but he was not certain if he would remain working there. 

 

 His senses had proven him right only a few days after he starting contemplating his future at the plant. At 2 a.m. Friday morning, Jared gets a call that the factory had been broken into.  He stood up rather quickly leaving him rather woozy. Once he got his baring’s he got dressing in uniform and in less than a minute was in his car backing out of his driveway.  Arriving at the factory in record time, Jared pulls up next to a fellow officer’s truck where the foremen and the officer were exchanging heated words.  “Are you sure you locked the gate?!?” the foreman says in an agitated tone.  “I am sure” replied the officer.  Jared walks up to them and said “What happened?” in a dreary tone.  The foremen open the door that had been appeared to be kicked in. Boxes, tools, and parts had been thrown on the ground everywhere.  Majority of the damage was done near the freeze parts department. Several boxes of parts and workshop tools had gone missing.  At Jared’s first stunned glance, he saw no obvious evidence.

Thanks guys. :) You will get a longer story next issue. This was what I applied with and I didn't know how much to write.

Meh; had a decent plot but that's all it had. It was really lacking in a lot of aspects.
