Write a story in which a pair of sunglasses plays an important role

I helplessly gasped for air as they continuously dipped my head in a bucket of water.
Blindfolded, the condition felt even worse. My abductors relentlessly interrogated me, I could
not understand a single word due to their local ascent. I had awoken a few minutes earlier and
my brain was bustling. My memory was fuzzy and as I concentrated hard, it all came back to me
like a blink of an eye.

That day started with a cool dip in the Atlantic Ocean at Watergate bay. After getting out of the
water, I was walking to my car when my phone started ringing. It was from Carl, a fellow
detective at the police force. I fixed my sunglasses as I answered his call.
Carl complained, ‘John, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?’
It felt that my eardrums exploded in my head. As I nursed them, I replied, ‘What happened man?
Cannot I even take a short vacation?’

Carl barked, ‘Yeah of course, but after finishing all this work that you dumped on my shoulders!’

As I walked around the parking lot and quarrelled with Carl, I noticed a shady figure trailing me.
I became wary of him as it was not the first time people tried to get back at me due to my
profession as a detective. I observed him and when I saw a chance I ran towards my car. I soon
found two or three more people chasing after me, but I outran them due to my head start when
out of nowhere a bearded bulky man cut my path and knocked me out.

I felt a bit of comfort as I recalled the events. I at last knew how I ended up here. The abductors’
constant screeches were not helping at all. ‘Clomp! Clomp!’ I heard the footsteps of another
person entering the room. He walked towards me and bent his knees to be level with my face. In
a flash he pulled my blindfold. As my eyes dazzled, it took me some time to clearly see the
people, all of them wearing masks. The person standing in front of me stared at me. His eyes
tensed up as he glared at me. It felt like his eyes would pop out of his face any moment.
Everyone’s attitude indicated that this guy here was the boss.

He roared, ‘Did you think you can , Francisco Garcia!’


I was speechless as I did not understand what he was talking about. I replied, ‘I did not do
anything, I was just enjoying my vacation.’
