MACBRODIE:  THE INTERNET MURDER

​

     Adamina MacBrodie, Scotland Yard’s best Inspector, is in the hospital with a badly broken leg and fractured pelvis, but that doesn’t mean she’s off the clock! The accident that landed her in a hospital bed and out of commission happened while chasing a suspect through St. James Park.  The suspect jumped off the grassy landing into rush hour traffic.  Running down the middle of the street heading toward Trafalgar Square past Big Ben, a truck violently struck him head on, killing him instantly; however, the Inspector froze in the middle street and with a loud squealing of wheels on pavement as a bright yellow Mini Cooper, with black racing stripes slammed into her side knocking her down, crushing her leg, and giving her a fractured pelvic bone.

     Bored with flipping through channels on the television she decided to open her laptop and surf the internet.  An online news blog from a renoun blogger, Heather Blankenship, gave a description of the backgrounds of each person that was killed in a tragic gas leak and explosion catches her eye.

     “An apartment building was leveled by an explosion claiming the lives of four people: a housewife, a minor politician, a young chemist, and the daughter of a local mobster.”   

Intrigued by this headline she read on and realized that the blog was mainly hearsay of the backgrounds of each of the individuals that was brutally extinguished by and explosion.   

     “The chemist Arnie Whitesburger was said to be single.  He was working on a project that involved energy and gas.  It was to be revolutionary in preserving natural gas and oil by using everyday items that consumers throw away.  He kept all his research and documents at home because he did not trust his co-workers.  He was said to be a mysterious man who had no family and it is unknown where he comes from or if Whitesburger was his real name.  The fire is said to be a cover-up to the fact that Whitesburger was actually murdered for his research, but this was all speculation at this point.  More will be known once the autopsy reports from the coroner’s office is made public.
