Not Again... - A homeschool task

This is a story I wrote as a home school task.

Not Again 

“Chief, do you copy?” The human chief police officer, Mr. Goggle’s radio said in a cracked up voice. “Yes, I do, what is it? Over.” 

“It happened again.”

“Seriously?” Mr.Goggle was outraged by the wretched, filthy animals that lived in this town. This was the third time this week the electrical elephants were stupid enough to destory the power source of the small town. The animal residents were unbearably loud as the power outage continued on. “ENOUGH!” Mr.Goggle boomed. There was instant silence. “The outage will be sorted in a few hours or more.” There were loud complaints. “I’m going to get those elephants fired if it’s the last thing I do.” He said under his breath.

As he sprinted over to the electrical centre his deputy was waiting with a few other cops. “Chief! It’s getting out of control! They might set fire to the place if we don’t stop them!” He was obviously very stressed. “How long has this been going on?”

“Around 10 minutes!” The chief was shocked. “And you didn’t try stop it?” The deputy chief looked at his feet guiltily. “I mean… no…” Mr.Goggle sighed and strode on inside. It smelt and looked like there had been a humongous explosion. He coughed until he saw three elephants coming towards him. He bolted out the door as opposed to being trod on by an elephant. 

“What have you done!” Mr.Goggle yelled to the elephants as they came crashing through the door. There was a guilty sway of a trunk before their boss came out of a brilliantly coloured mustang. “You. Are. Fired.” He said with a bit of a stammer. “Do you know how much the repairs will be? Ugh. I wish I never hired you!” This sent the three elephants into the forest behind the building. 

To this day nobody knows where they went, let alone seen them. There have been no sightings since the very day they ran away. Some say that they ran away to the tropical forests. Others say the died quickly after realising they were stranded. I guess we will never know.
