So, is this actually a true story? It's kindof difficult to tell .... either way, written to really keep the reader's interest... Thanx for sharing and best of luck in the contest! ;)

Reading this I couldn't understand how the police missed all of that clear evidence and obvious questions, and video tapes, and employee interviews. Better to make James a police detective.
Oh well, good luck in the contest.

notes:
 
I checked the alarm system and it working.
- I checked the alarm system, and it is working.

Mr. Willams said, "It's state-of-the-art, connected directly to the police station."

-He actually didn't answer the question.

She seemed nervous.

-Don't tell us this. Show us this.

Next, Mr. Williams introduced James to Jack Bulger, the security guard. He was an older man, who had been at the Institute for ten years, after retiring from the D.C. police force. Mr. Williams , as he told James that Jack was a valued employee, very experienced and reliable.

-This is what Mr. Williams should have answered with asked about his people. Not the narrator.
