Description
The whole episode started out of the blue, when my best friend Roger and I made
the decision to take a vacation in sunny Europe. Well, to tell the truth, it was
mainly Roger's decision. It was also his idea to travel with the thumb in the wind,
just to save a little money for the more interesting things in life, like beer and
cigarettes.
"Believe me, it will be a helluva lot more fun, if we hitchhike!", Roger told me the
day we were leaving, "We'll breath the fresh air and enjoy the sun, without being
caged in a small and uncomfortable train compartment." A few hours later, after
crossing the Swiss border, the two of us were standing beside the road, raising our
thumbs and waiting for a ride. Exactly as I anticipated, about eight dozen cars
drove by, but not a single one of them picked us up.
A few more hours later, I was just about to jump on Roger and strangle him to
death, when the blue sky opehed and started to drop a few tons of cold,
disgustingly wet water on us! Luckily for us, I had waited for this to occur and
bought a nice tent complete with two cozy warm sleeping bags, just the day before
we had started our trip. Unluckily for me, I stored it at home in my basement,
where it still was ...
Ha, you should have 'seen Roger's face as I told him about that! After trying to
defend myself against Roger (he made a deadly missile out of almost everything in
our backpack!), I succeeded in convincing him to spare my life and follow me to a
nearby town, where we realised that all our money together was barely enough to
pay the room and buy some rations of food. Nevertheless, we decided to stay there,
because the rain was falling harder and harder and made it impossible to travel
further this day.
Soon, Roger was bored to death and started to explore the remote control of the
TV in our room, while I started to explore the hotel's bar.
Sometime later I wasn't able to drink a single beer more and tried to get some
sleep. A few minutes later, that bully barkeeper came and dragged me out from
under the table, telling me to go upstairs to my room if I wanted to take a nap!
Slightly drowsy and confused, I managed to climb up the stairs and staggered to
our room, where I tried to stick the key in the door. Several attemps later, I
recognized my mistake and tried to stick the key in the keyhole. Of course, the key
didn't fit! I started to rap my knuckles on the door, but obviously Roger was
already asleep and couldn't hear me begging and crying. When I tried to break the
door open with my shoulders, someone opened it from inside and I rushed inside!
As soon as I passed the door, something hit me bad at the back of my head and I
fell into my long deserved sleep ...
I woke up a while later, when somebody emptied a bucket full of water over me.
My mind cleared a little and I took a closer look at the cushion I was sleeping on.
Yeah, that's how the whole story started. I've only got a short time now to prove
that I am not guilty. I have to find the answer before the storm is over and the
police comes to arrest me ...
