Detective Dwa ‘The angry afternoon sun burned a spot on my drooping shoulders as I trudged home from a long, exhausting day of school. Only the low grinding of my trolley bag on the gravel road interfered with the tranquillity of my neighbourhood. As T passed the familiar houses and landmarks, I thought about my embarrassing fall at recess 5 and the mountain of homework I had to do. I released a loud, long sigh. Life can be torture for an. eleven-year-old. I turned the comer that led to my street and spotted a stranger ahead of me. He was tall, built like the Incredible Hulk and was wearing a bright purple track suit. Huge Sold bands almost blinded me as he swung his bulging arms. How odd! I thought to 10 myself. I wasn't accustomed to strangers in my neighbourhood, much less this giant in a purple tracksuit. Immediately, my amateur detective instincts awoke from hibernation and the soundtrack from Black Panther started to play in my head. I straightened my body, released my trolley bag and cracked my knuckles. Detective Dwayne was on the 15 case! Terept behind Mrs Ali's hibiscus bush and keenly observed Mr Purple Tracksuit until he stopped in front of my house and started digging in his back pocket. My heart skipped twelve extra beats. What weapon of mass destruction was he searching for? stared intently as he slowly pulled out ... a cell phone and started dialling. I sighed 20 in relief, but then I thought, “Maybe he's calling accomplices!” This was too much for me. I needed back up. With trembling fingers, I pulled out my cell phone and dialled my father’s number. He always knew what to do. My throat lost all moisture when I heard a busy tone. I redialled five times until I heard his voice boom out of my phone. —— 04218021/T&T SEA 2020 Page 8 GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE “Hey Son! What's up “Dad listen to me. Call the police! There's a thief in front of the house!” Dad’s usually friendly voice turned serious. “What?” he shouted. “Yes! I'm watching him right now! He's wearing a purple tracksuit. Call the police!” ‘The sound of loud laughter blasted out of my phone. 30 “A purple track suit you say? Yes “He's kind of tall? Built like Hulk? “Yes! How did you know?” “[ just spoke to him on the phone, Dwayne. He’s your Uncle Robert from the States, 35 paying us a surprise visit. I'm opening the gate for him now.” ‘The movie soundtrack theme disappeared abruptly from my head. Slowly, the heat of embarrassment singed my cheeks. I dejectedly made my way to my house and expelled another sigh. I really need to stop doing this! 04218021/T&T SEA 2020 Page 9 GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE 19, 20. 21, 23.
