Me and Beth look at each other with wide eyes.
"Should i open it?" she whispers to me.
"No way! just act like no ones home." I say.
The banging on the door continues.
"WE JUST NEED TO ASK A FEW QUESTIONS." The man on the other side of the door says.
"Em just go in the other room & ill answer the door." she whispers.
"Are you sure?!" I say frantically.
"Yeah just hurry go!"she says as she walks towards the door.
I hurry to the room and close the door and put my ear to it and listen to what they are saying.
All the words are muffled but one thing stood out very clearly.
"Do you mind if we take a look around the house?"
My heart raced and I jumped away from the door and tried to find somewhere to hide.
Under the bed? No to predictable.
The closet? Too easy.
My heart pounded nearly out my chest. I heard the doorknob rattle and I quickly ran in the closet and hid in one of Beth's long trench coats.
"This is my bedroom." I heard beth tell the police.
I heard their foot steps getting closer and closer.
The closet door creaked open and the officer reached his arm out and started to move around her clothes hung on the hanger around me. I closed my eyes and gulped. My heart was about to explode as I felt his hand on the coat.
