*Ring Ring*.......*Ring Ring*

"Hello, 911 how may I help you?"
"Ah........... H-help...." A whisper was heard.
"Miss, what's wrong? What happened? What's ha-........ Sorry." I stopped myself from asking too many questions.
"........ There.... There is.... these strange men...... Wearing masks... Th-they..." She broke into sobs before she could finish.
"Miss, take all the time you need. Breathe in and out."
She slowly took a shaky breath.
"Uh.... Okay.... There was some men in masks..... They.... Just....  He was beaten up......m-my husband.. To death.." She chocked towards the end and began sobbing again. She couldn't make a proper sentence through her sobs.

'W-what?'

After  some silence I realised I needed to say something.
"Um.. Where are you now?"
She took a long shaky sigh.
"Um.... At a playground.... I'm.... Hiding.... In.... The...... Tunnel type thing..... I'm hiding.... In a playground." I could tell she was trying to hold in the cringe.
"It was the closest thing." She sighed out.
"Yeah don't worry, I've heard stranger things."
"Yeah?" I could tell she wasn't crying as much now.
"Ah, I'm sorry, but...... But you need to explain to me what happened." I scrunched my face up feeling like a jerk for making her talk about it.
"Well..... Hang on."
"Ok."

"Sorry I just needed a minute."
"That's ok." I still feel like a jerk.
"Well..... Someone knocked on the door.... I opened it to find some men in masks..... They asked for my husband..... I didn't know how to respond.... They pushed me aside and...... Then they..... They had a baseball bat...... It had s-sharp w-wire around it...... They.... Hit him.... Multiple times..... H-h-he tolled m-me h-he loved me and to r-run...." She chocked again and broke into even more sobs.
"Miss, I'm sorry...."
"I..... Don't know what to do!"
"Miss.... Can you tell me what happened after.... They.... Yeah." I hated asking her these questions.
"I.... Ran. They didn't take much notice of me. I already had my phone and wallet, but I didn't get the keys..... In case they could track me......"
"Smart move..... I guess?" I'm not too sure though.
"I ran for awhile.... I saw a playground where I could hide.... And now I'm here...." She sighed.
"Is there any buildings near the playground?"
"Um...."
All I could hear was movement.
"There's.... There's a pizza shop down the road... There's other shops too... People but not busy... A few.." She sighed in relief.
"Is there anyone around you?"
"No... I might run over though."
"Stay on the line please."
"Alright."

"Ok I'm here now." She whispered.
"I'm in the corner with no window...." Another sign of relief.
"Just act normal maybe even order a pizza." It's a really bad time to think about pizza now Maggie!
"I'm gonna track you. Make sure you stay on the phone."
"Alright."

Whilst I was tracking her I could hear her ordering pizza. Just one slice.

"You... There?" She whispered.
"Yeah I'm here..... One slice?"
"I don't feel like eating. Possibly whitesesing my husbands death, only to order pizza afterwords?!" She whispered yell.
"Sounds like a crazy Friday night to me..." I mumbled hoping she didn't hear.
"Sorry... I'm.... I've just heard a lot of this type of stuff. It's horrible... But it's normal to me." I mumbled again.
"Why don't you quit up your job?"
"I....... I can't."
A long silence. Awkward.

"Alright, I've tracked you and notified the police."
"Ok cool." 
A gasp came from the phone.

"They....... Are.... Here...." She slowly whispered.
"The police will be their in five!" I whispered yelled hoping the masked men wouldn't hear.
"They..... Have the bat..... And guns....."
"Try to cover your face with a hoodie or a hat! The police are coming!"

"EVERYBODY LAY DOWN BEFORE I SHOOT YOU!!" A man was heard yelling.

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep*

"Hello?.... No....."

***

The police had gotten to the pizza shop. People were dead. Some injured.
She..... Was badly injured.

But we were too late.
