Mystery

Raphael was sitting in the bleachers watching a high school softball game when IT happened. First; Mia, the #1 first baseman, fell on her way to first base after leaving the dugout. Then their pitcher; Phoebe, passed out as the catcher was throwing her the ball, then; Felicity, the catcher collapsed, closely followed by the rest of the team that was out in the field. The other part of the Banshee’s team were freaking out inside the dugout. There were only 3 of them and unless they got 6 more players soon, they were going to have to forfeit, and then the Werewolf’s would win!

But without a team, they had to forfeit. Letting the Werewolf’s win. The werewolf’s coach began bragging to the Banshee’s coach, and the girls were laughing and running out into the field, pointing to the opposing, unconscious players and laughing.  Raphael growled under his breath and stormed into the field.

Right up to the younger ump’s face, he went. “Aren’t you going to stop that?! The girls are unconscious! Call flippin 911!” He snapped.

“Sorry son, I can’t, not in the rule book,” The ump walked away. Raphael fought the urge to go sock the daylights out of the ump.  

“Fine, I’ll do it!” Raphael pulled out his ipod and phoned 911.

“How may I help you?” A voice answered.

“Uh, a bunch of girls just passed out cold, and I think they were poisoned or something because the rest of their team is fine,” Raphael answered. Looking around as the coaches from the Banshees ran around checking each girl.

“Alright, where are you?” The voice replied.

‘I don’t flippin know!’ Raphael almost barked, “On the corner of…..West Side? I think? Just come over, trace my phone or something!” Raphael hung up.

The police came faster than he thought, and the chief walked up to him.

“Excuse me, son? What happened exactly?” He asked.

“Well, I was up in the bleachers watching my sister; Phoebe play, when suddenly Mia passed out, then Phoebe, then Felicity, then the rest of the team!” Raphael glanced at his sister, who still wasn’t moving.

“Thanks son,” Then the chief walked over to the ump, Raphael listened in, he just had to hear what that jerk was going to answer with; “Excuse me, sir? What were you doing when the girls passed out?”

Talking to the other ump, Joe,” Then the ump that Raphael had talked to walked away.

The chief went to the other ump, Joe, who was actually quite old; “Sir, was that man over there talking to you when the girls went down?”

“No, he was on his phone, as usual, idiotic teens,” Joe grouched.

Then the girls began waking up. Raphael ran to his sister and helped her up. The chief walked over to him.

“Son, you should take your sister to the hospital,” He said, then walked back over to another girl. Raphael nodded and helped Phoebe up. Then into his car and drove her to the hospital.

 

Soulution:

The Werewolf’s coach bribed the ump to place some sort of knock out liquid into the players water. The girls who weren’t playing didn’t drink out of the water bottles, so they didn’t get it. Then after the girls passed out, Raphael called the cops.The cops came and after Raphael and Phoebe left, the chief arrested the ump and the coach, for the investigator had found the knockout liquid inside the bottles and then found a bottle of the same liquid inside the umps bag, along with 200 dollars. The coach’s phone had gone off and before the coach could answer it the chief answered it and it was the bank asking the coach to pay back the 200 dollars he had borrowed. So that gave the chief all the evidence he needed.

Why is it important that we study Christian Persecution?

I believe that it is important to study Christian Persecution for we need to know that some people are willing to give up their lives for Christ. We NEED to know what is going on out there! Christians are dying for what they love! I think we should know this stuff! If we don’t, then why are you a Christian if you don’t care enough to learn what others are doing for Christ! To me, it is important to study Christian Persecution because it inspires me that some people are willing to die for Christ, and I wish and hope that if I’m ever in a situation like that, that I won’t just run away and claim I don’t know Jesus so I won’t die. I want to be able to stand my ground and not give up on my faith.

Just my opinion
