The Criminal Wave Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

Jack took a sip. “Too vapid,” he cried and reached for sugar.
“You take too much sugar, Jack!” Sam complained.
“It’s in my genes!” he replied.
The expression on Sam’s face changed rapidly.
“What did you say?” his tone was vibrating with excitement.
“I said it’s in my genes,” the reply came in a confused tone.
“I know it’s a long shot, but it makes sense,” Sam was nearly jumping.
“What?”
“The words A.N.D. represent D.N.A. when read backwards. Look, I’ve just had this crazy idea; there must be a link between the D.N.A., and the wavelength and frequency of the EM waves. Surely there must be some rules governing this transformation. I think when that thief transformed his body into electromagnetic radiation; the wavelength and frequency must have been according to his D.N.A. code. So if we have the D.N.A. code we can find out the wavelength and frequency. I think I need go to our library”.
They quickly finished their drinks and hurried out.


They spent the next few days working on their theory. As they had spent some time as Physicists, they knew the right course of action. Taking some help from the work of other eminent scientists, they managed to find the mathematical relationship between the genetic code and the EM waves. The theory led to one important point: if they had the genetic code and thus the wavelength / frequency of the EM wave, they could control the movement of the wave.

Sam called the FBI headquarters to acquire the D.N.A. sample of Dean Hardy. Recently FBI had obtained the fingerprints and D.N.A. of very persons having an I.D. Card. A small surprise was waiting for him. The D.N.A. sample was gone.


Sam and Jack made a plan to obtain the D.N.A. of the culprit, Dean Hardy. They went to every bank, where they thought Hardy would strike next and carried out their plan.
A week later, a branch of United Bank was robbed. They went there quickly. On the inner side of the handle of a locker, was a small needle like object, they had placed. On the tip there was a small trace of blood, when the criminal had opened the locker using he handle, the pin has pierced his hand.

They smiled at the success of their plan, took the blood for testing and found the D.N.A. code. Using the code they calculated the wavelength and frequency of the “criminal” wave.

Using a newly invented machine, they would cause that EM wave (whenever it came) to converge into a room full of a slightly poisonous gas. However, they had to erect a large number of aerials on high buildings in all parts of city. As the “Dean wave” would transform into his original self, he would inhale the gas and faint immediately. The FBI would them quickly catch the felon and take into possession the new transport technology. The director had given them special orders to obtain this technology at all costs.

Three days later, he attempted another theft. FBI has kept the machine on, so that whenever the convict struck, he would fall right into their trap. The plan was successful and Dean was caught. Under pressure and slight torture, he spilled out where he had hidden the loot, which was immediately recovered.

The Director was extremely happy and personally met the two agents. The two however, wanted to have a vacation; a pretty long one. They planned to spend some more time on scientific research, especially on the theory they had just developed.

Writer Profile
Awais Aftab


Writing has been a passion, a love ever since I learned to write. For me, writing is a means of expression of 'secret tears and secret pleasures'. True writing comes from the heart and often it is the one to find you, not you the one to find it. Writing gives me power, the strength to carry on, the will to live and to live in a better way. It helps me find deeper meaning in the world around me and to understand myself much better. I can't survive without writing. For me, my writings are the whispers of life, in which the glory and sorrow of life echoes. For me, these are the glittering tears, whose every flash encompasses a thousand aspects of life. I believe that, 'I write; therefore I am.' However, true ease in writing comes from art, and I still have to learn a lot about that.
