"It wasn't until then that I realized such a crime could impact my world".
I was walking home, passing by all of the cars honking at each other, the many stores and restaurants. After walking a few blocks, I've finally reached home. I'm Troy Jansen. I'm the son of Vincent and Charlotte Jansen. I go to Dwight School, a private school in Manhattan, along with Mia (6th grade), and Gio (11th grade). I'm in the 8th grade.
As we open the door into our penthouse, we're greeted by our mom. "Hey", she said. "How's all your day?", she inquires. "Good", Mia says. Just as that happens, Vincent walks into the door. "Hey", he says. I don't know why they say that. he kisses our mom. "How was work?', Charlotte asks. "Good", Dad says. You're probably wondering how my parents are wealthy. My dad owns a world-class restaurant called Gravano's and my mom owns a fashion company for women. They make a lot of money.
After dinner, we all clean up and we head out to do our homework. After that, we relaxed and went to bed. That is....
"TROY!", Gio says. He's my older brother. He lifts weight, the quarterback of a football team and wants to go to an Ivy league university. "WAKE UP, TROY!", He says again. I wake up, "What is it?", i say tiredly. "I just heard some loud noises", Gio says, "We need to go see". We went to wake up Mia, who says the same thing. We go to our parent's room. Just as we open up the door, it was shocking.
We see two bullets right across Mom and Dad's chest. It punctured them enough to kill them, with them still bleeding. By the looks of their faces, we knew that they were probably shocked by something or someone they saw.
Mia puts her head in Gio's big chest, crying there, while he tries to comfort her. "What are we gonna do?", Mia asks with tears in her eyes. "I don't know", I reply. "But there is only one help", I add. I grab my phone and pull out a number, Let's call Mom and Dad's friend", I say, "Lieutenant Cranston".
