Crime In London(Transcript)

The entire school are on a trip to the main city of London and it is raining. They arrived at their hotel by bus and they are told to bring their umbrellas and coats.

Ms. Jackson: Alright students, since we are arriving at our hotel, please bring your umbrellas and coats before you enter the hotel.

Zoe: This is starting to feel like Sherlock Holmes.

Brad: Yeah.

Reece: You guys know Sherlock Holmes?

Blake: We do but dad watches it a lot to get the idea on what it's like in the city because we grew up in suburban lives.

George: I hope staying here for a few nights would be a good idea.

Zoe: I sure do agree.

Then they all went inside the hotel and they were greeted by the receptionist.

Receptionist: Hello, are you Ms. Jackson's school?

Ms. Jackson: Yes, these children are here to stay while their parents are away for a river cruise.

Zoe: Ugh I hate cruises.

George: Why?

Zoe: They make me sick.

George: You get seasick? Well cruise ships are now making people sick because of the coronavirus.

Zoe: Yeah, there are currently 11 cruise ships affected which are the Diamond Princess, World Dream, MS Westerdam, MS River Anuket, Grand Princess, Silver Shadow, Silver Explorer, MS Braemar, Costa Luminosa, Ruby Princess and Costa Magica.

George: That's a shame, but the cases here in the UK keep rising. But instead of going steady like all of the countries of Asia, it jumped.

Zoe Yeah.

Ms. Jackson: Alright, I booked all of you in. Now you can get into your groups and then go to your rooms. If you have any questions, text me. Also Annika, don't make any insults.

Annika: Hmph!

Ms. Jackson: Anyways enjoy your stay.

Reece: Let's go guys.

Everyone got their suitcases and went to their rooms. The main 6 went to their room and because they were so bored, they did their own stuff. Reece and Blake were playing FIFA, Troy and Brad were doing homework they missed and George and Zoe were drawing.

Blake: Reece, I'm starting to get enough of FIFA, I'm so bored.

Reece: Maybe singing would do.

Troy: Are we singing right now? Brad and I still have homework.

Brad: Actually I'm done, Blake, Zoe and I are fast thinkers when it comes to doing work but we sometimes have to pause to think more.

Reece: Okay, let's sing.

George: We're in.

Zoe: Me too.

Blake: Any songs you have in mind?

Reece: Yup, here it is, now let's start in 3 2 1.

Song: When You're Gone by Avril Lavigne

Zoe: #I always needed time on my own #I never thought I'd need you there when I cry #And the days feel like years when I'm alone #And the bed where you lie is made up on your side#

George: #When you walk away #I count the steps that you take #Do you see how much I need you right now?#

All: #When you're gone #The pieces of my heart are missing you #When you're gone #The face I came to know is missing too #When you're gone #The words I need to hear #To always get me through the day #And make it okay #I miss you#

Brad: #I've never felt this way before #Everything that I do, reminds me of you #And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor #And they smell just like you #I love the things that you do#

Troy: #When you walk away #I count the steps that you take #Do you see how much I need you right now?#

All: #When you're gone #The pieces of my heart are missing you #When you're gone #The face I came to know is missing too #And when you're gone #And the words I need to hear #To always get me through the day #And make it okay #I miss you#

Blake: #We were made for each other #Out here forever #I know we were, yeah, yeah #All I ever wanted was for you to know #Everything I do, I give my heart and soul #I can hardly breathe, I need to feel you here with me, yeah#

All: #When you're gone #The pieces of my heart are missing you #When you're gone #The face I came to know is missing too #When you're gone #The words I need to hear #Will always get me through the day #And make it okay #I miss you#

After singing, someone burst into the room. It was the receptionist.

Ms. Davies: Hi, you are the main 6 your principal told me about, if you don't know me, I'm Ms. Davies.

Reece: Yes, we are the main 6, I'm Reece Brown, this is my best friend, Blake Thomson, my freshman friend, Troy Mitchell, Blake's younger brother, Brad Thomson, my junior friend, George Smith and Blake and Brad's only younger sister, Zoe Thomson.

Ms. Davies: Hey, so the owner of this hotel, Lord Roberts needs your assistance and needs you to help him with a case.

George: Finally, something to do here.

Ms. Davies: Follow me, this place is really big and fancy and old-fashioned. I'm pretty sure you aren't used to it because you live in the suburbs.

Blake: We just hoped that we could adjust to city life.

Zoe: Yeah.

The main 6 followed Ms. Davies to Lord Roberts in his office along with 3 other friends, Prof. Smith, a professor in the University of Cambridge, Ms. Taylor, a fashion designer originating from Paris who recently moved to London and General Philips, the general of the British army. Along with a butler and maid.

Lord Roberts: Greetings 6 young ones, please take a seat.

The main 6 took their seats.

Lord Roberts: Good, you must be in Ms. Jackson's class right?

Reece: Yes, I'm-

Lord Roberts: Oh no no no, you don't need to introduce yourselves, just say 'present' or 'here' when your names are called. Just like back in your secondary school.

Prof. Smith: Oh please Lord Roberts, let me take the job, I'm the teacher.

Lord Roberts: But look at their faces, they are just little children.

Blake: Oi! We are not just little children!

Prof. Smith: Fine, takeover.

Lord Roberts: Okay, Reece Jamie Brown?

Reece: Present.

Lord Roberts: Blake Edward Thomson.

Blake: Present.

Lord Roberts: Troy Simon Mitchell.

Troy: Present.

Lord Roberts: Australian?

Troy: Yeah, how did you guess?

Lord Roberts: (smirks) Bradley William Thomson.

Brad: Present, just call me Brad.

Lord Roberts: George Stephen Smith.

George: Present.

Lord Roberts: And lastly, Zoe Isabelle Thomson.

Zoe: Present.

Lord Roberts: I know, you are the only girl in the group. Also your bob cut hairstyle looks like Posh Spice but with the glasses and the tomboy attitude.

Zoe: What? First of all, I don't like spice girls, second of all, I am a different person from Victoria Beckham.

Lord Roberts: Anyways you lot are a choir, if you want to prove it, please sing a song or something.

General Philips: Maybe you should let them sing Rule Britannia, I am a general after all and I would love to salute.

Reece: 1 2 3 4.

Song: Rule Britannia by James Thomson

Zoe: #When Britain first, at Heaven’s command #Arose from out the azure main #Arose, arose, arose from out the azure main #This was the charter, the charter of the land #And guardian angels sang the strain#

All: #Rule Britannia! #Britannia rule the waves #Britons never, never, never shall be slaves#

George: #The nations not so blest as thee #Must in their turn to tyrants fall #Must in their turn, must in their turn #To tyrants fall #While thou shall flourish #Shall flourish great and free #The dread and envy of them all#

All: #Rule Britannia! #Britannia rule the waves #Britons never, never, never shall be slaves#

Brad: #Still more majestic shalt thou rise #More dreadful from each foreign stroke #More dreadful, more dreadful #From each foreign stroke #As the loud blast that tears the skies #Serves but to root thy native oak#

All: #Rule Britannia! #Britannia rule the waves #Britons never, never, never shall be slaves#

Troy: #Thee haughty tyrants ne’er shall tame #All their attempts to bend thee down #All their attempts, all their attempts #To bend thee down #Will but arouse thy generous flame #But work their woe and thy renown#

All: #Rule Britannia! #Britannia rule the waves #Britons never, never, never shall be slaves

Blake: #The muses still, with freedom found #Shall to thy happy coast repair #Shall to thy happy coast #Thy happy coasts repair #Best isle of beauty #With matchless beauty crowned #And manly hearts to guard the fair#

All: #Rule Britannia! #Britannia rule the waves #Britons never, never, never shall be slaves#

Lord Rectangle: Brilliant, you guys are a choir. You see, there is a reason why I called you.

Reece: What is it? Something wrong, me and my mates can help.

Lord Roberts: Well today is my birthday and I need your help. Someone stole my cake.

Everyone: (gasps)

Blake: Is it true?

Lord Roberts: Yes, and it is on you guys to help me.

Reece: We are glad to help, we will try to look around the hotel. In the middle of the night.

Zoe: Then let's go.

The main 6 split into 3s so that they could look around the hotel separately. Reece with Blake, Troy with Brad and George with Zoe. They have their phones to communicate in case something is up. Reece and Blake were looking at the hallways and saw a painting of a barn with some animals but the barn is missing.

Blake: Weird, the barn is missing.

Reece: Let me see about that. Let's tell the others about it.

That's when the 2 seniors bumped into Prof. Smith.

Reece: Sorry for bumping into you.

Blake: What is it?

Prof. Smith: Look, when the lights went out, I just needed space to go square dancing. General Philips has been acting suspicious when the cake was stolen, listen kiddos, I didn't take it. Think about it.

Reece: Looks like we have to meet up in the hotel room later on.

Blake: Yeah, c'mon.

Meanwhile, Troy and Brad were looking at the artifacts room and the flat diamond is missing.

Troy: Brad, you gotta go see this.

Brad: What is it?

Troy: The diamond is missing.

Brad: What?

That's when the 2 freshmen bumped into General Philips.

Brad: General Philips.

Troy: Can you tell us what happened when the cake was stolen?

General Philips: Well when the lights went out, I went out to wash my hands. Ms. Taylor on the other hand, is acting a little suspicious. Look my boy, I didn't take the cake, think about it.

Troy: Now what? This is getting confusing.

Brad: Let's meet up with the others, Reece told us we should head back to our hotel room.

After what Brad said, the 2 freshmen went to their hotel room. Meanwhile, George and Zoe were in the kitchen looking at the pizza. That's when Ms. Taylor bumped into them.

Zoe: Ms. Taylor.

Ms. Taylor: Hello little tomboy and her boyfriend.

George: Boyfriend? I am not her boyfriend, I'm her best friend.

Zoe: So have you been stealing?

Ms. Taylor: Stealing? Well no, I mean who eats cake before pizza? That's gross, think about it.

George: She's acting suspicious.

Zoe: I know, let's head back to the hotel room.

The main 6 are now in the hotel room looking up for more evidence but it is so confusing. That's when they founded a footprint of cake icing in one of the pictures of the evidence.

Reece: Guys, what did you find?

George: A footprint, made of cake icing and in the shape of a pentagon.

Zoe: Each one of the staff in this hotel starts with a letter of the alphabet that came from shapes. Such as Lord Roberts is a rectangle, Prof. Smith is a square, Ms. Taylor is a triangle and General Philips is a pentagon.

Troy: More like a military base in America called 'the Pentagon.'

Zoe: Really Troy? We aren't talking about the September 11 attacks, we are talking about who stole the cake. Also because we are anti-terrorist and we don't want to talk about it.

Song: All The Small Things by Blink 182

Zoe: #All the small things, true care, truth brings #I'll take one lift, your ride, best trip #Always, I know you'll be at my show #Watching, waiting, commiserating #Say it ain't so, I will not go #Turn the lights off, carry me home#

Zoe and Brad: #Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na #Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na #Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na #Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na#

Brad: #Late night, come home, work sucks, I know #She left me roses by the stairs, surprises let me know she cares #Say it ain't so, I will not go #Turn the lights off, carry me home#

Both: #Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na #Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na #Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na #Na na, na na, na na, na na, na, na #Say it ain't so, I will not go #Turn the lights off, carry me home #Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill #The night will go on my little windmill #Say it ain't so, I will not go #Turn the lights off, carry me home #Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill #The night will go on, the night will go on #My little windmill#

George: Hey, I think we can solve it. We need to head back to Lord Roberts' office.

The main 6 went back to the office to meet Lord Roberts.

Lord Roberts: Children, have you solved the case?

Reece: Not quite, but let's explain the picture frame first. There was a barn here and someone must've stolen it. Too the hallways.

They all went to the hallways and there is the same picture with the missing barn.

Reece: Look, there used to be a barn here and someone stole it.

Blake: When it looks like you didn't wash your hands, General, cuz your hands are dirty.

General Philips: Fine, I took it.

Zoe returned the barn where it belonged.

Zoe: But this must explain the footprint which is in a pentagon shape. But because General was here all this time instead of the kitchen, he is innocent. But it must be someone else.

Prof. Smith: Who could've done it? It is a pentagon.

George: Well you can combine shapes to make a pentagon, so you can combine a square and a triangle to make a pentagon. Which leaves us with 2 suspects, Prof. Smith and Ms. Taylor.

Brad: Too the artifacts room.

Then they went to the artifacts room where the missing flat diamond was.

Troy: So you said that you want to go square dancing when the lights went out. But you stole the diamond right here.

Prof. Smith: Fine, I took the diamond.

Lord Roberts: But that's a diamond, not a square.

Brad: Yeah, but if you tilt it, it is a square.

Zoe: But Prof. Smith didn't take the cake so he is innocent.

Ms. Taylor: Am I innocent too?

Zoe: Not really.

George: Which leaves us to the kitchen.

They all went to the kitchen and George and Zoe looked at the pizza.

Zoe: If you look at the pizza, they are all triangles but if you put them all together, they are in one whole.

George: In one piece like Germany after the cold war.

Zoe: Anyways, which leaves us to one more clue, the footprint outside the kitchen.

They went outside the kitchen to test the footprint.

Lord Roberts: So we have only 1 triangle, how can it form a pentagon?

George: Because 3 triangles can form a pentagon so Ms. Taylor must've worked together with somebody.

That's when Brad and Blake took out the hats of the maid and the butler.

Zoe: Ms. Taylor must have triplets so she, Brendan and Melissa must be triplets.

George: So they're guilty.

Everyone: (gasps)

While George explains the evidence, the maid, butler and Ms. Taylor disappeared. Zoe first noticed it because of her good senses.

Zoe: Guys, they're getting away.

Reece: After them!

They chased the triplets until Lord Roberts couldn't take it anymore because he was tired.

Lord Roberts: Guys, I can't take it anymore, this is tiring.

Brad: Let's rest.

Zoe: Wait, we've been chasing them in a triangle pattern, which means that.

Reece: There!

Once the triplets arrived, the main 6 started using their powers. Reece wrapped vines around the triplets' arms, Blake clenched his fists to shake the ground, Troy multiplied so he is surrounding their backs and sides while holding their arms and shoulders, Brad used his wind powers, George put a rain cloud above them and Zoe gave the cake back to Lord Roberts.

Brad: You lot have to explain to us why did you steal the cake.

Reece: To make things fair, if you explain to us, we will stop using our powers.

Ms. Taylor: Fine, because Lord Roberts forgot our birthday.

Lord Roberts: Oh then when is your birthday.

Triplets: The same day as yours.

The main 6 stopped using their powers.

Maid: Well that was intense.

Lord Roberts: Well I forgive you for stealing my cake, if you could forgive me for forgetting your birthday.

Butler: Why of course we do.

Lord Roberts: Well, the cake shall now be destroyed.

Lord Roberts threw the cake away.

Lord Roberts: Now I will make a new dessert.

Everyone went to the kitchen enjoying cupcakes.

Zoe: Case solved everybody, let's head to the hotel room.

Everyone: (laughs)
