“Emergency number 911 yes, how can we help you?’’ “ I’m calling to report a murder,” she said in a cold voice. “I’m sorry, ma’am?...’’ ‘’ Did you say you’re calling to report a murder?” asked the gofer. “Yes,” answered lisa she stared vacantly “well, I need more information so that I can help you, at what location are you, do you know about it?’’ “No,” said Lisa ‘’…. You don’t know where are you ma'am?’’ asked the gofer. “No,” answered Lisa. ‘’Is there someone around you?’’ “No, I’m alone and it’s dark,” Said Lisa. ‘’Uhm.. okay. What is your name ma’am?’’ asked the gofer ‘’Lisa LaGrange’’ replied Lisa ‘’Okay, Lisa can you tell me. Do you know anything about what happened?’’ “I don’t know,” answered Lisa. ‘’You said you called to report a murder. how do you know a murder is occurred?’’
“Because I killed him.
‘’Who’s the victim?’’ asked the gofer ‘’My husband’'
‘’Okay’’ the gofer tried to track the location from the call. And gave the notes to the police. It was wooded area seventeen kilometers away from the dot on the map.
‘’you need to tell me more about what happened. What is your husband’s name?’
‘’Stanley LaGrange’’
“Okay, and do you remember what happened to Stanley” asked the gofer “No.”
“Are you near Stanley right now?”
“No. I’m alone,” Lisa replied
“ahem. Do you know where Stanley is now?”
“No, I don’t know where he is.”
‘’I need more information, Now you said you’re alone in a dark area and there has been a murder. You said you killed Stanley, who is your husband. Can you tell me anything else about where you are or what happened?”
“We just argued a bit today morning before he left for work’’ answered Lisa
The gofer added this information in her instructions to the police “What did you and stanley argue about?” asked the gofer. “He said I was spending too much money. But it was just a misunderstanding. He thought I was wearing a new dress, but it wasn’t a new dress.” Her voice trailed off. “Okay, I have an officer on their way to your location. Can you tell me anything else about what happened to your husband?”
“He was angry’’ said Lisa
The gofer entered more information to the unit on the way to the location.

Somewhere in the night, two deputies were driving down to a deserted county road. With the blue and red flashlights and sounds of siren.
-
“This sounds strange to me,” said the deputy no. 1 from the passenger seat. ‘’What?’’ asked the deputy no.2 “it’s a woman, alone, who reports she killed her husband after a incident. But the woman can’t tell what happened and where her husband is now, Is gofer sure about the location? I don’t know who would be out here. There’s nothing around here I can see’’ said deputy no.1
‘’It is what it is’’ claimed deputy no.2

While the gofer on the call with Lisa:

“I think I hear something,” Lisa told the gofer. “It sounds like sirens.” “Good,” answered the gofer. “Do you see lights?” “Yes, I think I see them.” “Are you near the road?” asked the goffer. “No,” responded Lisa “Can you get to the side of the road? The officers will have an easier time finding you.” “Okay.” “We’re getting close. Sounds like she’s somewhere in these woods. said deputy no.2
. “We may need to stop. I can’t see a thing.” Deputy no.2 eased the car to the shoulder of the road and came to a stop. “Tell goffer to tell the woman to head for the car.” They got out of the car, pulling torch lights from their belts, shining them through the trees on either side of the road.

“Are you still with me, Lisa” asked the gofer. “Yes, I’m still here,” she answered, slightly breathless. “Good. Can you still hear the sirens?” “Yes, they’re louder now.” “Okay, good. The deputies are out near the road looking for you. Do you see the red and blue lights from the car or flashlights anywhere around you?” “Yes, I see red and blue flashes.” Answered Lisa. “Okay, good. You keep walking and head for the red and blue lights. I’m going to stay with you.” *SPLASH*. "Lisa, are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m okay,” she answered. “I stepped in a puddle or something.” “But you’re okay’’ asked gofer “Yes,”
she responded over the splashing of her steps in the water. Up on the roadway, the two deputies worked slowly down both sides of the roadway, shining their flashlight beams into the trees. “Do you see anything?” asked the deputy no.1 “Nothing on this side,” said deputy no.2 “She can’t be far,” answered the deputy no.2. “Wait, I think I see something.” Deputy no.2 moved to the other side of the road, shining his beam to meet hers. . “Lisa?” shouted the deputy no.1. The woman stumbled in the glare of the flashlight beams. “I can’t see,” the woman called back. The deputy lowered her beam to the ground in front of the woman as she made her way over a fallen branch. Deputy no. 2 kept his beam up near the woman’s face. He seemed frozen. “Lower your beam,” commanded the deputy no.1 . Deputy no.2 took his arm down.

The woman was wearing a long, ice blue, satin nightgown with a matching floral print scarf. Her long brown hair was tangled around her head. Her hands hung at her side, still holding her cell phone in her right hand. The deputy no. 1 glanced to her left, noticing .
“She didn’t kill her husband,” said Deputy no. 1 suddenly.

The End.
