• John was sitting at his table eating the leftover chicken from last night. Everything was quiet inside his mind; he didn't even dare think to himself. All he heard was the cars outside along with the police sirens.
    tab Then his mind got ahold of him. If he had killed that b*****d, why didn't it feel right? He had done the right thing. No way it was wrong to kill him right there and then. But why would some low-life drug dealer rape a teen girl? Because he's a piece of s**t, that's why.
    tab John leaned back on his chair and pushed the leftovers away from him. Then he heard a commossion outside; a man and woman fighting. He walked over to the door, opened it, and saw down the hall one of his neighbors exvchanging insults with what looked like her ex.
    tab This doesn't concern me, John tought to himself. As he was going to close the door he heard a loud slap, a high scream, and the door closing at the neighbor's place.
    tab John looked out again and saw that the door was closed and the ex wasn't anywhere to be seen. John went out into the hallway and wolked over to the other door. He pressed his ear against the door and heard a "let me go" and another slap. John knocked on the door, waited a few moments, then knocked again, waited another few moments and knocked again, waited another few moments, and knocked again, louder, waited a few moments and pounded on the door. This time he heard a "shut up" and the locks unlocking and the door opened with the chain still on.
    tab "Who is it?" the ex said.
    tab "It's the neighbor down the hall," John said.
    tab "The ******** you want?"
    tab " I'm investigating the comossion going on out here."
    tab "Investigate your a**. This ain't got nothing to do with you."
    tab The ex is about to close the door but John puts his foot in the way. He could see his neighbor with a split lip. At the moment the ex gained momentum and pushed against the door which crushed John's foot.
    tab "Gha, ********!" John screamed and got his foot out of the way and the door closed. "You son of a b***h," he mumbled to himself as he attended his foot. He recovered and used his good foot to kick at the door. He kicked but nothing happened the first time, second the locks cried, third the locks loosened, fourth the locks fell off, fifth the chain breaks. John enters.
    tab "What the ********?" the ex said as John came at him. The ex swung at hom but John easily used his training to reppel his attack and take him down.
    tab "Let me go, b***h!" the ex exclaimed.
    tab John held his head to the ground and took out his badge. He put it right in front of the guys nose. "I'm police, b***h." John looked back at his neghbor. "Are you okay?" he asked her. "Can you call 911?"
    tab She nodded and grabbed her cell phone.

    John had just finished giving his statement to a cop when his phone rang. He took it out of his pocket and answered it.
    tab "John?" Robert said.
    tab "What happened?" JOhn said.
    tab "Its about the case."
    tab "What's new? I thought it was closed."
    tab "Well, no its not. It turns out that the dealer you shot wasn't the rapist."
    tab John was taken aback. "What?"
    tab "They say it was a mistake. We had initially looked only in the criminal databases instead of all databases, otherwise we would've had more matches."
    tab "But-"
    tab "Don't worry though. Because of that we found a dealer that aimed at teens. He also took out a gun on you."
    tab John looked over at his neighbor who was being attended by EMS.
    tab "John?" Robert said. "John, you still there? John?"
    John hangs up.
