A Twist....
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The streetlights were dim as the mist enclosed it in its mysterious grip. She peered out of her window into the darkness, was there someone out there or was it her imagination? A figure appeared in the window of the house next door, it wore nothing but black and was using a flash light. he caught my attention because the Millers who lived in that house were suppose to be out of town until Monday. i hurried and grabbed my binoculars that i had just purchased the day before for bird watching and was anxious to use them, as i focused them just right, i face them towards the Millers house and through the window see the figure enter the second floor and enter into one of the bedrooms upstairs. i than see and hear a loud pop and a flash 2 times. i dropped the binoculars out of fright and run out of my room towards the phone to call 9-1-1. ring, ring... she answers, do you need police, fire or EMS? police i quickly say, what is your emergency the operator asked? I want to report a possible shooting a 512 Main street road, she says okay do not enter the resistance the police are on the way, i say nobodys supposed to be at that house, the Millers are out of town till Monday, she reports back to the policemen. it seemed like for forever before i seen and heard lights and sirens coming down the street, the police entered the resistance and the next thing i see are the police walking out of the house with the Miller's 14 year old son Shawn, who was crying, a few minutes later a crime scene van appears in the driveway and their walking with a stretcher and a body of the same person i seen in the window on it. the officers came over and ask me if i was the one who called 9-1-1 i say yes with a shaken voice, what happened? i asked, they say the robber came into the house and Shawn who was home sick and didn't go to the lake house with his parents and sister faught and shawn ran into his parents room grabbed his father's gun and shot the robber 2 times in self defense, killing him, i than continue to give the policeman the Miller's number so they can contact them, they tell me if they have anymore questions their be in contact with me, i than walk back to my room to lay down, when i hear the door bell, i walked out and answered it, it was our other neighbor, Ms kelly, who was curious to what was going on, i than told her what happened she says do you know the name of the robber? i said the policeman said his name was Tony, she looked at me with this look I'd never forget. she said Tony what? i said i don't know, she said her son is named Tony and he hasn't come home tonight. than her phone rings and its the police, they said they were on their way to pick her up and needed her i identifie a person they thought to be Tony down at the morgue, she dropped her phone crying and collapsed in my arms, saying Noooo.... Noooo... she said she was afraid something like this was going to happen, she said her son had just got out of Prison, and was desperate for money and knew the Miller's were going out of town that weekend, but didn't expect their son to be home, the police arrive and take her down to the morgue and sure enough, it was her son Tony.
