"HELP!!!!" screamed a woman's voice. I woke up from the scare of that scream and looked around. The clock read 3:00am. "Was that just a dream" I said to myself. I laid back down and atarted falling asleep, but then I heard a few police sirens. Without think I quickly got up, got my robe on, and slipped on my shoes. I followed the police cars and I was shocked when I found them stopping at Mr. and Mrs. Wood's house.
"What going on," I asked my friend Al who lived next door.
" I don't know... I think it has something to do with Mrs. Wood," he said. I looked stunned and then looked around for Mr. Wood. He was crying and yelling, "Why her.... why couldn't it have been me" as a policeman was talking to him.
A policeman near me told another policeman, "We couldn't find Mrs. Wood... it's like she vanished. There was no forced entrty or anything."
The policeman next to him said, "Mr. Wood isn't giving us any information. He just keeps saying 'why couldn't it have been me."
All of the sudden I hear my name, "Rachel, please let her through." It was Mr. Wood saying this. The policeman who was just talking lifted the crime scene tape and let me pass. I ran to my Mr. Wood and gave hom a hug. (I worked with Mrs. Wood for the past 2 years on The Newton Journal)
"Rachel will you help me find my wife?"
I hesitated........ sure?
