911 Call Operator

12・The Stranger

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

"Hello, 911 how may I help you?"
"Ah..... How do I say this..." A man mumbled.
"Sir.....Wh-"
"T-there's someone outside...." He cut me off, slightly stuttering.
"Outside.... In the front.... Just.... Standing there...."
"Uh...... Um ok? Has he uh...... Done anything?" I cringed whilst asking it.
"N-no. Just standing there..... H-his back is facing me."
"He's creeping me out." He whispered bluntly.

An uncomfortable silence grew.

"S-sir?" I asked confused.
"He's ah....... Mumbling something... He's a.... Ah god..." He heavily sighed.
"What's happening?"
"Cursing me?........ Saying.... Odd stuff?" He questioned himself.
"Sir is he threatening you in anyway?"
"Well, he's...... Some...... Like I said cursing me." He muttered the last part.
"Some sort of satanic ritual?" I was starting to get slightly amused by this whole situation.
"............ I..... I-I don't.. Think so?" I think I slightly freaked him out.
"It was a joke." I mumbled.
"No he's not threatening me. I just want him gone."

Again with the uncomfortable silence.

"Well, if h-"

I was interrupted with a loud gasp.

"He..... H-he....." His voice was shaking.
"Sir?! What's happening!?"
He took a shaky breath.
"He's...... Closer to my window.... Staring straight at me.... "
Someone yelling was slightly heard.
"Go away!.... Please.!"

"Sir?"

"He's smiling at me?"

"Sir?!"

"He.......... Oh my god...... He ...... Has a knife...."

"Sir! I'm tracking you now and informing the police!"

*CRASH!*

"Sir?...."

"Where are you?"

A sing song voice was heard.

".......sir....." I whispered.

".....wait......" He finally spoke.

Heavy breathing was only heard.

Then fast footsteps.
A soft click sound was next.

"Are you there?" He whispered.
"Yes, I've informed the police of your whereabouts." I spoke quietly knowing he's situation.
"He...... Jumped thought the window.... I hid in the kitchen..... I-I uh grabbed a small kitchen knife."
"Sir, if he does attack.. It's only self defence." He doesn't want to harm anybody.
"Where are you know?"
"I quietly ran up the stairs and into my bedroom..... Then I closed the door.... Now I'm hiding in my bathroom.... With the door locked..." He spoke, still whispering.

"The police are coming soon."

"Ok."

"Stay on the line please."

A comfortable silence.

Until loud scratching was heard.

"He........... He's just outside the door....." He whispered so quietly.

"Lights out!"

The sing song voice again.

"Uh........ M-my .... Phone.... Hel-"

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

The beeping sound drilling through my ears.

"He's......."
