The morning it happened I suddenly awoke to the sound of sirens, but if I'm going to tell you any of the story I will have to start from the beginning. I propped myself up on one elbow as I turned to check to time, it read 7:01. After accidentally clicking snooze instead of turning my alarm off, I wandered over to my window. I stopped in my tracks when I saw what was outside. In front of my house, was an ambulance, two police cars and a police van...
What had happened?
Who had it happened to?
I rushed to my parents room, and as I creaked the door open my alarm clock started ringing. Well... That made me jump! By the time I had fully opened the door I was still shaking, but I soon realised that my parents weren't there. It didn't take long for me to start connecting dots...
Thankfully as I stood there worrying, paralysed with fear, I began to hear my parents talking. I let out a sigh of relief knowing that they were okay, but there was somebody else with them. Little did I know who the mystery person was or why they were here, the only sentence that I could actually hear was
'did you see anyone around the neighbourhood who doesn't live near here late last night?'
As soon as this mystery person left I raced down the stairs to find a pair of what looked like baffled, worried and confused parents. I had numerous questions like
' what has happened' and 'who was that person that just left'.
Mum and Dad told me that it was the police, but they wouldn't give them much information. There had been an incident next door and the police asked my parents if they knew anything about this.
" what kind of incident" I asked.
My parents told me " they didn't tell us, Alex, but I'm sure we will soon find out."
