Outside of town there was a big industrial area. At the factories worked a lot of people from the area. Never had been there trouble but since a mussel factory was opened the strangest rumors had been going around. People would disappear there without any explanation.
Inspector Dan Johnson had heard those rumors too. He didn’t trust the factory at all. After discussion with police sergeant Ross Johnson decided to send Cody Casey better known as CC there as new employer.
“CC, I send you to the mussel factory to find out what the matter there is. Here is your name tag. You are called Rico Marcusso. Just take a car from the garage”, Dan said to his son.
“I understand”, CC said slowly.
He went home where his mother Sue Johnson was with their dog Rinty. She was surprised to see him home now already because it was just 1o’clock in the afternoon.
In the kitchen she asked, “Is there something?”
“For the time I am at home at irregular times”, said CC.
“Don’t tell me anything. The less I know the better”, said Sue.
She was used to it that her son was away for a long time.
Director Frank Miller found the new employee very suspicious, and so did the canteen manageress Mary Stone too. The other employees liked CC alias Rico very much. Quite soon he noticed that Mary acted very weird in his presence. She looked at him with her heavenly blue eyes like she had set her eye on him. CC didn’t pay attention to it to big annoying of Mary.
A co worker said to CC, “She does that with every new employee. There are strange things happening here since the opening.”
“What sort of things?” , CC asked amazed.
“They say that the director uses the factory to smuggle weapons. He sells them abroad. There is another wing but no man may come there. I know where that is”, said Jamie (CC’s co worker).
“We will see”, said CC.
His curiosity had been woken up anyway.
When they were working there was a good sphere. Though Mary went to Frank.
In his office she said, “I don’t trust that new one. He asks too many questions and doesn’t react at my advances.”
“He is too curious if you ask me. I will check him out”, the director said nervous.
“I hope that you find something because if he goes to the police with all the evidence we hang”, said Mary.
She left the office. Though she was worried but she didn’t know what CC knew.
When CCs shift was over and he drove home he had a lot of stuff to think about. He thought, ‘A mussel factory is a good cover up to produce weapons and to smuggle them abroad.’
Arrived at home it was already evening. Dan was at home and saw at his son’s face that it was very wrong at the mussel factory. The boy first took a shower. Meanwhile Sue warmed up a meal for her son.
While CC ate his father asked, “What is going on there?”
“At first sight it’s an ordinary factory but there is a separate wing where they make weapons, sell and smuggle them to abroad. I have no evidence yet but I suspect that director Frank Miller and the canteen manageress Mary Stone both have something to do with it. Mary tries to seduce me but she is too old and too ugly for me”, CC said calm.
“Can you try to track her via your pc?”, asked Dan.
“I think so”, answered his son.
Quite soon CC had found the file of Mary Stone.
“I got it. Her name isn’t Mary Stone but Sylvia Cooper, one of the most wanted terrorists and weapon smugglers”, said CC.
“Just print the whole file”, said Dan.
That happened and quite soon CC got his hands on the file of Frank Miller. He too was an infamous international smuggler of weapons. That file also got printed.
“Well done son. Now we can get on too”, said his father.
When CC was playing with his pc he happened to find by accident a schedule which said when the next smuggling for the next load of weapons would take place. CC decided to print that information too.
The next morning Dan gave the evidence to sergeant Ross and said, “Check this out. CC discovered it last night. If it’s right we can arrest them.”
“My son Jamie also works at that factory as undercover”, said Tim.
He took it with him to check it. Tim too didn’t trust the case.
At the factory something else had been taken place. In the freeze room a body was discovered by CC and Jamie. They had gotten the order from Miller to go working in the cold room.
“Rico, someone is lying there” , Jamie alias Dennis Parker said.
“You report this to David, I stay here”, advised CC.
“Doesn’t have to anymore. There he comes”, said Jamie.
Their chief David Wilson looked around the corner of the door and saw the body lying.
“That is Lily Thompson, the secretary of Miller. Now I know for sure that strange things are happening here. Miller won’t call the police on his own so I will do it via my mobile phone”, said David.
That happened and CC and Jamie got questioned by Smith and Jones. They said that they didn’t know anything about it. They only knew the 2 detectives far too well. On the scene of the crime Frank came rushing in while Dan and Tim were busy with the investigation.
“What is his in my factory? There is nothing to be found here!”, he roared.
“A body has been found in your freezing room. That’s why we are here to investigate it”, Tim said looking at him.
“Someone has locked her up there so would froze to death. But who has done it?”, the director asked nervous.
“That is very interesting what you say there. We still had to find out that yet. Nice that you cooperate so well”, Dan remarked.
That compliment worked very well on the nerves of Frank. He got arrested on the spot.
By the murder the factory got shut down temporarily. Just before CC and Jamie wanted to go home they got stopped by Mary.
“You are my hostages. Drive Dennis”, Mary said in the car.
They drove to an old and deserted part of town. Jamie recognized this part because he grew up here.
“Get out”, Mary ordered, pointing a revolver at both.
They did that and in a cabin they got tied up tight.
“Don’t try to find out how you can get away because that won’t anyway. I am back in a quarter of an hour”, said Mary.
When she was away CC and Jamie untied each other.
“As soon as she comes closer let her trip and we knock her out cold”, CC said quickly when they were untied.
“Are you an undercover agent by accident?”, asked Jamie.
“My father is Dan Johnson so I am undercover agent. You too?”, CC asked on his turn.
“The same as you. My father is sergeant Tim Ross. There comes Mary”, Jamie said looking out of the only window which the cabin had.
Quickly they sat down again.
Mary came in smiling and said refined, “Fortunately, you are still here.”
She walked on and tripped then over the stretched leg of CC. the woman fell down and got overpowered by the 2 agents.
“Whose idea was it to lock up Lily Thompson in the freezer?”, asked Jamie.
“Mine. Miller had to blow the whole plan by making that gal up the duff. She wanted to tell the police everything but I locked her up. You can’t prove anything”, laughed Mary.
CC laughed too and said, “We can because we have recorded everything you said.”
He and Jamie tight her up and took her along down town.
Meanwhile all employees got questioned and the whole factory got dismantled including the secret wing where nuclear weapons got made.
Because Mary had had spilled the beans she and Miller got brought to jail to wait for their trail.
In his office Dan said to CC and Jamie, “Because you have delivered such good work you get 2 weeks leave.”
CC reacted, “Thanks. Let’s hope that in our absence there will be no crime committed. Then those 2 bunnies must solve it.”
Everyone except Smith and Jones laughed.
“Boys, go away before I withdraw those 2 weeks leave”, said Dan.
CC and Jamie left at once.
From that moment on each new factory first got fully inspected before it was being used.
