"Hungry?"
"Yeah, a little."
"I'll bring you something to eat."
Dandy got out of the tub, put on his robe, and kissed me on the cheek before going down to the kitchen. I could here the cabinets opening, and the sound of a bottle opening. It seemed like he had quite a romantic meal in mind.
I heard a knock at the door and figured it was just late night trick-or-treaters. They continued to knock, and Dandy did not answer.
There were a few more loud knocks before there was a shout.
"IT'S THE POLICE, OPEN THE DOOR!"
I suddenly heard Dandys footsteps coming up the stairs and bursting into the bathroom.
"I'm going to answer it, you lock this door, and don't leave this room, no matter what."
"But what if something goes wrong-"
"Do not leave this room."
He said firmly and left quickly.
I put on my robe, locked the door, and pressed my ear to the floor, so I could hear what was going on downstairs.
I heard the door open, and Dandy spoke.
"Hello, can I help you with something officer?"
"Yeah, we got a-uh an interesting report."
"Oh my... Please, come in."
I heard them get louder as they sat in the formal living room.
"So, officer, what's going on?"
"Well, multiple neighbors had called about screams coming from up the street. We went in, and found blood. We believe it was caused by someone in the neighborhood, and we'll be searching all the houses on this block. My partner and I are going to search your house now, and if you do anything to stop us, you will be arrested."
After that I heard many footsteps all over the house, and the sound of cabinets opening, doors slamming shut, followed by the police shouting "All Clear!" after checking each room.
There was nothing but silence for a moment, then I looked up to see the bathroom doorknob wiggling as the police tried to get in.
I quickly opened the tub drain, trying to get rid of the blood. I got a bucket from the closet and began to dump blood in the shower and sink drains, to get rid of it faster. The door suddenly swung open and two police officers barged in.
"DON'T YOU DARE FUCKING TOUCH HER!" Dandy screamed as he ran into the overcrowded bathroom.
One officer quickly grabbed Dandy, handcuffing and dragging him out of the room, almost immediately the other officer did the same to me.
They dragged us both down the stairs, and out the door.
Dandy was thrown into the first police car.
He looked back at me, tears streaming down his face, he mouthed the words 'I love you' just before the car sped away.
