My father called me at midnight and said, “Don’t go home. Stay where you are.” A few minutes later, police cars surrounded my street.
I was returning home from a birthday party when my phone suddenly rang. It was already late, and I thought it was just my dad wanting to know what time I’d be home.
But when I answered, I felt his voice tremble. He said nervously, “Don’t go home. Stay where you are.”
I was completely unsettled. I asked him what was going on, but he didn’t answer directly. He just kept saying, “Trust me, stay here. Don’t go in.”
For a few seconds, I didn’t know what to do. I was already on our street, my car parked on the corner. But I no longer knew whether to turn to go home or listen to my father.
Suddenly, I saw blue lights, then police cars turning onto my street. Panic gripped me. Why were the police there?
I lived in a quiet neighborhood where nothing bad usually happened. When I learned what had really happened, I was shocked.
