Peter, if.... .... he shows up at your place in the night
•••
From everywhere the sirens of the police and fire department could be heard. And this not only for five minutes, but, this went a certain while. In the meantime, it had become a familiar sound, which in places you no longer even noticed, because it was constantly heard.
You had just taken one last look out the window to find out where the emergency services were headed and then closed the window because it was the middle of the night and it was gradually becoming time to sleep, when you heard a barely audible knock.
"Hey..... what....?" it escaped you at the sight of Peter, who had knocked on your window and was waiting for you to open it, "What are you doing here?"
"Um.... would you....," Peter began, glancing over his shoulder before looking back at you, ".... take me in for a few hours.... until things calm down outside? Please."
After a moment's hesitation, you took a step to the side so your classmate could climb into your room.
Hopefully you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, you said as you closed the window.
