When my brother and I got home, we were surprised to find our house buzzing with activity. Workers were sweeping the yard, and others were cleaning the house. As we walked towards the front door, our mom spotted us and called us over.
“Guess what?” she said with a smile. “We have a special visitor coming in an hour!”
With no time to waste, we quickly changed into our best outfits and pitched in to help. With so many people working together, it didn’t take long to get everything ready. In just thirty minutes, the workers had finished their tasks and left.
With some free time before the visitor arrived, we enjoyed a snack and chatted with our mom. She still wouldn’t tell us who the visitor was, only that he was very important. My curiosity was piqued!
At exactly five minutes past noon, a convoy of sleek black cars drove into our yard. The cars were shiny and impressive. When they stopped, I saw a face I didn’t expect at all. It was Mr. Mwachichi, the richest man in our village. He wore a fancy navy-blue suit and blue shoes, and his bodyguards were dressed in black suits with purple ties.
Without wasting any time, Mr. Mwachichi and his team went into the living room, and we were sent to our rooms so they could talk privately. My curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to sneak over to the door to eavesdrop. What I heard shocked me more than I could ever imagine.
Mr. Mwachichi was saying, “Are you sure you want to join the drug dealing cartel? It’s very dangerous, but it could make you a lot of money.”
I was stunned. Could my mom really be involved in something like that? My heart pounded, and tears welled up in my eyes. This was too much to handle.
But then I heard my mom’s clear response: “NO.”
As soon as she said that, sirens started wailing from every direction. It turned out that my mom was actually working for the police!
She had been collecting evidence and today, she was recording everything they needed to catch Mr. Mwachichi and his criminal associates.
I was amazed. My mom was a hero working undercover for the police, and I had no idea!
