The Man on the Lam

    by Jonathan

     In Alcatraz there was a man named John. He was a Russian mafia terrorist. Most people call him "The Lost gangster". No one knows his real name because he changed it cover. But he was the first and only to break out of Alcatraz. I have always been curious about this story. So I became a detective. Now I'm ready to solve the mystery.
    Our first destination is none other then Alcatraz. The scene of the crime is always the first place you look. Let's take the tour.
    When I got to Alcatraz the tour guide said "hello, welcome to Alcatraz, one of the greatest jails in history. I hope you enjoy the trilling history during our tour." "Here is the cell of the famous John, the man only man to escape Alcatraz. Any questions?" I quickly said "Yes, may I examine this cell? I'm a detective trying to find out the secrets of this man." "You'll have to go ask the boss," He replied. So I said "sure, where is he?" "His office is in the hallway over there," He said. "Ok, thanks." I said as I left for his office.
    When I got to the bosses office I asked "Are you the boss?" He said "Yes I am," his voice sounded Russian. You don't think… Nah, I need more evidence. "May I investigate John's cell." He said "sure," so I darted off.
    His cell is full of trash and wall graffiti. He wrote in invisible ink. It says "Journal under bed" He has a journal under his bed! Let's read it. It says "Dear Journal, I have a foolproof plan to escape! I'm going to start a riot! I will knock out a guard and take his outfit so I can tell them all to go outside. Then I will make my plan. They won't suspect a thing." Hmm, so that's how he escaped. Let's go check the courtyard.
    Wow this place is a pigsty of weapons and blood. I'm surprised they haven't cleaned it. Hmm, there is a knife with an engravement on it. It's John's. And there is a piece of cloth on it with and Alcatraz guard badge on it (No surprise that he killed the guard). Looks like he then climbed to the top of the roof with two crowbars to climb down the opposite side. You got to admit he's a pretty smart dude. Anyhow, He used a Jet Ski to escape the water. Okay to San Francisco.
    I've traced San Francisco and found his jet ski. It's also his house's location. It's time to wrap this up. I kicked the door open and said "You're busted!" He said "I don't think so." Then he pushed me away and ran out. He got in his Jet Ski so I got my coast guard launch. He started shooting me. He wants to play like that I'll use my turret. So I shot the Jet Ski until it blew up and that was when he bailed. Then I tied him up and called the cops. They threw him in an even more maximum security jail.
    "His real name is Jack Von Liconstein" The cops told me. "He works not only for the Russian mafia, but he's also a Russian spy. So I guess Russia will declare war on us again, but anyway, good job." He changed his name for cover because it sounded to Russian. Well that's the mystery of Jack Von Liconstein. I solved my first major crime. Awesome!
