after hours case 1

"Time for bed kid" My dad said in a gentle voice. "I'm 14!" I said in an annoyed tone. "Time for all young people to go to sleep" He said as he slowly started to close my door. I pulled the cover over myself and When I was finally nice and comfortable I started to reflect on my day while falling asleep. Unfortunately, I could not sleep at the moment so after I was done reflecting on my day I began to think freely. One particular thought crossed my mind. Was there really a time people my age and younger had to lie down or be asleep? If so why, I mean it's such a typical thing for an adult to say it's time for all children to go to bed. If someone set a specific time why, and is there an age limit for this phase?

I heard a click. Alarming at first but I dismissed it as my parents turning on the TV. But it couldn't be. I couldn't hear sounds that usually came on after the TV was turned on. I heard the front door close. My mother is probably going to the store I thought to myself. But I had forgotten to use the bathroom before I lay down. I didn't feel like getting up but as the feeling of having to use the bathroom grew I was forced to get up. I walked over to my door slowly still tired. I twisted the doorknob but the door wouldn't open. I tried once again but still it did not work. Maybe they lock my door while I'm sleep. Wait why? I ignored my question and grabbed a hangar from my closet. I inserted it in the center of the handle where the hole on my handle was. As the door quickly opened I absconded to the bathroom. After a few seconds of urinating I was ready to go to sleep. I heard footsteps. "Mom?" "Dad?" I called out. i didn't get Any reply plus they weren't in sight. I had a feeling it was a reason they locked the door so I went back in my room, locked the door, and laid down.

While dozing off I heard people not to far from my window. I heard a familiar voice say "Josh is becoming to be a disobedient young man He's. Beginning to ask more questions about us" It was Ms. Felipe. Josh's mother then I heard in another voice say "he will be dealt with". I began to think it was just my imagination and I fell asleep.

Day 2

The next day my alarm didn't go off so I woke up around 9:25 after about an hour of rushing I was ready to leave for school. Making sure I was quiet I started slowly opening the front door. I didn't want to wake up my parents and make it obvious I was late but opening the old door without making a series of unpleasant noises was almost impossible.

I was very focused, but something I was and would never be prepared for was revealed when I stepped outside. Blood warm blood! All over the floor! Trying my best not to vomit I jumped across the blood. It was coming from my neighbor's door. The door opened quickly. I saw Ms. Felipe tears coming down her face. "What happened? I asked in shock. "It -it's Josh he's dead" my world went red. It was too much to take in. I began to reconsider that what I had heard the night before was not spurious. I knew something was up. I talked to her for a while. School crap, I have to get to school. I ended our conversation immediately and quickly skated to school. The whole day at school I couldn't think straight, all I could see was josh's empty desk. I remembered the fake tears and the act she pulled. She had him killed.

Later on at lunch I told my closest friend Kevin about what happened, hoping he witnessed everything. He lived upstairs and he always had eye bags so I figured he might have been up at the time, he said he heard the same thing last night as well. He told me that I should be careful and that when he looked out his window he saw my parents next to Ms. Felipe. My heart stopped. Lunch ended and still I stood there shocked but I finally snapped out of it. I was possibly I'm danger. I had to be on my best behavior. I dashed out of the lunchroom trying to catch up with my class. I slipped into the line heading to class. When I finally got home I was exhausted. I got to my room and left my door ajar a rookie mistake when living with possible murderers. I was no longer sure if Ms. Felipe killed him, she was too soft. I think the familiar voice that I heard did it. I started comparing voices with faces I knew, but luck was not helping my memory. I managed to avoid my parents when I went to the kitchen. I began to plan, eating only what was necessary. I knew I had a long journey ahead of me, and I'd need all the food and money I could get. I picked up a glass cup and sneakily went past my parent's room. I eavesdropped on my parents and I heard enough. My parents planned on getting me killed next. I was heart-broken but it was time to begin my journey. I went to my room and threw my glass cup down on my floor. It shattered loudly and I screamed "Mom, Dad, help!" I heard them running towards my room. I was standing behind my door. They had arrived. They quickly tripped over the string I left across my door that was low enough to be unseen. I ran out of my room and locked it. This would stall for time because I made sure the door was very difficult to open and I blockaded the window with wood, while they were in their room I screwed it in. I had to make sure I trapped my parents because my dad was faster than me and I couldn't just outrun him. I was almost at my destination. About 2 minutes later I had arrived at the train station.

Here I am now sitting on a train; I plan on living in my friend's house that was a few hours away. This was a safe place because they don't know about Catherine. I find it funny how my parents ran in my room to help me. I almost felt guilty. But why? Those freaks planned on killing me. I know you're wondering why I didn't call the police once I made it to the station. It's simple it's because there are none left. There was a riot that killed them all. Nobody has stepped up to the job since. There are only hospitals, but only in certain towns where there is law. I still wonder who the person was. But if it finds me you know half of the story. I have a journey ahead. It's getting late goodnight.

Day 4

No! Today I was checking the mail for Catherine and it was for me. It said

"We know where you are. We knew you would hear us outside. It took some time but we scheduled an assassination. Good plan, but you're right where we need you. Well then you know who the other person is now, Don't you? Don't try to escape you already know we've planned that."

This day it all clicked. Please excuse my handwriting but these are my last words  so I have to tell my story. I enjoyed writing all of this but I hear footsteps getting closer. Maybe I'm never even going to make the news. This place doesn't need anymore negativity, though I'd want the word to get out. I'm out of time and sadly someone is coming for me in 3, 2, .

Waterwork news: Today we have found a young man in an abandoned house slaughtered. He left a series of clues but we still don't know who he is. We only know how he died. Investigators will get further information as quickly as possible
