The Victim
Anxiety
A shot rings out through the whole house. The weapon tumbles to the floor and lands besides its victim. The suspect rushes out into the night leaving his victim bleeding to death. The victim of this careless crime lies on the wooden floorboards gasping for breath, waiting for the darkness to engulf her entirely so she doesn't feel the pain anymore. Blood seeps from the wound staining the wood beneath her. She gasps for her last breath as darkness finally swallows her whole until she can no longer feel anything. Anything at all. It happened in a quiet part of the neighbourhood and yet no one heard the shot nor the high pitched scream of the victim being attacked.
The phone rings, no answer. The phone rings again still no answer. He tries again for the third time hoping she will pick up. Yet it keeps on ringing until he finally gives up and hangs the phone up placing it back in its cradle. Getting no answer starts to make him worried so he gets up from behind his desk, walks out into the main office and asks his Inspector to try the number instead.
His Inspector tries dialing just as his boss requested but even he can't get through. The Inspector goes back to the main office and knocks on the glass door screen. His boss looks up from his computer.
"Well Spence, anything?" he asks his Inspector.
Spence shook his head. "No, sir nothing. Can't seem to get hold of her."
His boss nods his thanks. Spence turns around about to head back to his desk when his boss asks him, "Spence, I want you and Mel to go over to Grace's for me and check if she is in or not."
"But sir, she's probably just stuck in traffic and is running a bit late. I'm sure she'll come soon."
"She's never late though,"
Spence looks at him, "Okay, we'll go and check."
Boyd nods and Spence goes back out.
"Mel! Go get your coat." Spence shouts as he heads through the double doors.
"Hey wait! Where we going?" Mel asks rushing after him.
"To check on Grace." Spence's voice drifts through the doors as they close behind them.
Spence might be right Boyd thinks to himself but he has a nagging thought at the back of his mind. Oh, Grace where are you?
