The Letter
by John
It was late Wednesday afternoon when John O’Malley received a XXXX on his hotel room door. The man at the door, wearing a long, black trench coat and black pants and shoes handed him an envelope and said “Follow the instructions inside and no one will get hurt.”
You see, John O’Malley plays futbol or as we Americans know it “soccer” for the Irish national team. His team is inParisright now playing a tournament and has made it to the final round where they are supposed to play the German national team on Friday.
John proceeded to open up the envelope the stranger had given him inside there was a letter.
Wednesday, June 23, 2004.
To Whom It May Concern:
We have taken your star Forward, Michael O’Brien, and are holding him at an undisclosed location. Our demands are simple.
1) You don’t come looking for him.
2) You tell the media that he is too sick to play the game on Friday and we will return him after the tournament is over.
Now of course John immediately thought that this had to be the doing of the German national team or at least someone associated with them or a crazy fan of theirs that wanted to make sure they won the tournament. You see, with a win at this tournament the German national team would be the top seed going into the World Cup tournament. John continued to read the
letter...
We have enclosed some pics for your “enjoyment” just to know that we are not joking around with this. Please take us seriously or else you will never see your star Forward again!
Sincerely,
Fan O’Socker
John pulled all of the pictures out of the envelope and was amazed at what he saw. He couldn’t believe that they had taken his best friend and tied him up like that and were holding him hostage. And to make matters even worse they had an “Eringo Braugh” blanket in the background. Was this the Germans? Or was it possibly an Irish Conspiracy??
The End?
