It was another long night at the office. Mark was exhausted and he longed for the comfort of his bed. He was on his fifth cup of coffee when his phone rang.
"Hey Sarah, I'm sorry I couldn't make dinner tonight, got tied down at the office, I really did not expect to be this late. I'll make it up to you, I promise."
"Uhm, hello! Sarah, say something!"
Mark was about to continue his apology when he heard her breathing, she sounded scared and in pain. Mark stood up in fear, his pupils dilated. His pregnant wife was in some kind of trouble but she wasn't due for delivery, not until next week Wednesday.
Using one hand to hold the phone to his ear, and the other to pack his stuff. Mark was searching for his car keys when he heard Sarah whisper something inaudible. He paused and pressed the phone closer to his ears, straining to hear what she said. She was repeating the same thing. At about the third time, he heard it and he froze with fear. His hands numb and his heart racing.
"Mark, there's someone in the house"
