Wolfgran Returns - Finbar O'Connor
Chapter One
Crime Wave
Ever since the day the Big Bad Wolf had come into the city disguised as Little Red Riding Hood’s Grandmother and swallowed most of the police force, Chief Inspector Plonker had been determined to catch him. He even went on television to warn the citizens of the city that a Wolf disguised as an old lady was prowling the streets swallowing people. He called this fiendish creature The Wolfgran. A big reward was offered to anybody who captured it. Unfortunately, some people tried to claim the reward by grabbing any old ladies who happened to be passing and dragging them into the nearest police station. Soon every cell in the city had an old lady locked up in it, and the police were running out of tea and digestive biscuits. Of course, none of these prisoners was the Wolfgran. In the end the offer of a reward had to be withdrawn, and the old ladies were released.
Then the city was hit by a terrible crime wave. An old lady rushed into the post office, snarled at the postmistress and stole all the stamps. Another old lady went into the supermarket, filled her trolley with cat food and tea bags, threatened to swallow the checkout girl and ran out without paying! But when nine different old ladies on the same bus all claimed to be the Wolfgran and refused to pay their bus fares, Inspector Plonker realised what was happening. Knowing that everybody was terrified of the Wolfgran, little old ladies were turning to crime!
One morning the Chief of Police barged into Inspector Plonker’s office and started shouting at him.
‘You’ve got to do something about this Wolfgran business, Plonker,’ he yelled, ‘Somebody’s grandmother just mugged me and nicked my wallet!’
‘Was it the Wolfgran, sir?’ asked Inspector Plonker.
‘How should I know?’ yelled the Chief of Police. ‘But I wasn’t taking any chances. These old biddies are taking over the city! Did you know they’ve started refusing to pay their library fines? Even that old dragon the City Librarian is scared of them now!’
‘But what can I do, Chief?’ asked the Inspector, ‘We can’t lock them all up. We haven’t got the cell space, not to mention the toilet facilities!’
‘You don’t have to lock them all up, Plonker,’ said the Chief of Police, ‘You just have to catch the Wolfgran. Once he’s under lock and key these old fossils will have to stop pretending to be wolves in disguise. Their reign of terror will be over and we’ll
