Fiction: Group 3
not a police or a detective!” I protested. Chan Wing wasn’t going to take a no for an answer though: ”No,
You aren’t he said, but that doesn’t means you don’t stand up for nature, you have to stand for what you
believe in. After all standing for nature is what an environmentalist should do““Yes sir” I said “I’ll tell Joe”
I walked down the lawn to find that Joe was engrossed in collecting and testing samples. And I asked
him: ”What is the situation?” Joe looked at me miserably, “This isn’t good, This is a very very dire situation.
The silt at the bottom of the river has a pH of 1.5. ”I gasped but Joe wasn’t done “I think someone is doing
it. Because the chemicals in the river does not match any factory’s chemical and is too acidic to be
unintentionally made.”
We decided to stay for the night and observe. We stayed out and watched the sun go down whilst keeping
our heads out for suspicious activity. The sunset was marvellous as reds and yellows streaked the sky as the
fiery colours splashed across the vast sky. But the scene was destroyed by the vast amount of garbage difting
around the Pearl River, emitting a stink worse than day-old cheese sauce covering sweaty gym shorts in a
gym locker. I was reclining and just when I was almost dozed off, the two of us were alerted by the sounds
of a car door slamming. I hissed to Joe and he cursed and we ducked under a stone. I heard a gruff voice
that might have gleefully said: ”The Operation Conquest is almost completed. Now all we need to do is to
pour all of these chemicals so the citizens of the area will be forced to leave the area in search for a more
suitable spot to live, heheheheh!” I was shocked as I wondered who would want to destroy such a
spectacular river. No money would be able to buy this wonder. I looked at Joe and I noticed he had his
phone out and he was recording and videoing them. I was glad to have a friend like Joe to help me out.
While I was panicking, Joe had gone and obtained evidence.
A few hours later we were sitting in the miscellaneous room of officer Chen and we were recounting the
story and the video and trying to incriminate the thugs. And by the end of our story, the officer waited for a
few moments and the officer’s expression remained plain and said :”Thank you for the information.”
Soon the G.P.E.C.C. sent us a task list to do after we were through with this drama. The master-mind of
the operation who was a multi-billionaire (who was a company owner and tried to disassociate himself with
it but failed miserably).
And his goons were arrested of criminal offences. The two of us got a special thanks from the district
governor after notifying the police. I mean there was still plenty of chemical waste in that river and it would
be a long painful road to cleanse the river of the lasting damage.
Chan Wing said that the acids would be removed in a couple of weeks and Guangzhao would need an
extensive water supplies and we were happy to help. Now as I sat on the river-bank I had an everlasting
sorrow for how our fellow human beings have destroyed our river and neglected the beauty of nature.
