Mr. Monk and the Accident
Chapter 1
The Murder
A/N: Okay I tried to make this not very confusing. If you follow it, you'll sort of understand. LOL. Oh, and even though it seems it, the two guys that are talking to each other in here are NOT talking about Sharona. You'll see what I mean when you read this.
"Come on, Sharona...pick up...Hello?"
"Hi, Mr. Monk."
"Hi, Benjy. Where's your mom?"
"She's right here, hang on." Adrian looked at his watch. It was 11:00 PM.
"MOOOOMMM!!" Adrian pulled the phone away from his ear and closed his eyes.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Are you sure she's coming?"
"Yeah, I'm sure she's coming. I told her to meet me at the tracks at 11:30."
"Did you tell her to come alone?"
"Yeah."
"Did you tell her to walk here?"
"What are you talking about? She can't walk here from her house. She'll be in a car."
"In a car? Ugh, we might need a few more matches."

"Hello?" said Sharona tiredly.
"Hi, Sharona. Can I ask you a question?"
"Adrian, I don't wanna answer any questions at 11:00 at night," she responded, rolling her eyes.
"Sharona, will you please answer my question?"
"You think please makes everything all better don't you?"
"Well n - yes." Sharona sighed.
"What's your question, Adrian?"
"Can you take me to the grocery store to get split peas?" he asked, beginning to toy with the telephone chord.
"What?" said Sharona cringing.
"I just noticed that I don't have split peas."

"Why don't you call her?"
"Wouldn't that make it obvious?"
"Well, what do YOU want to do, smartass?"
"All we CAN do is wait. She'll be here."
"Okay, wa-wa-wait. You called me because you need split peas."
"Correct."
"At 11:00 at night."
"Correct."
"Now I have a question for you."
"Allright."
"Why do you need split peas?"
"I just noticed I didn't have them. I was laying in bed thinking and I thought - "
"I don't want to hear the story. I'll be right over, okay?" Adrian smiled.
"Okay. Thanks, Sharona. This means so much to me."
"Mhm" She slammed the phone down in the cradle and got up.

"Why won't you call her?"
"She's not stupid! I told her to come and she'll come! I'm her boyfriend, for heaven sakes. She'll do what I say to do!"
"Well, if she loves you, then she probably is stupid."
"Hey, listen. Are we friends or what? We're about to murder someone. I don't want anything about love. Okay?"

Adrian hung up the phone and stood up. He went into his perfect bedroom, over to his perfectly polished wardrobe, opened its doors and took out a gray suit jacket. He slipped it over his shoulders, and his arms through the arms of the jacket. He went to the mirror and checked himself out. He was ready to go out there and buy some split peas.
' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '
Sharona put on a blue leather jacket over her white tank top. It matched her blue leather skirt, and blue leather boots. She had on a necklace that her ex-husband, Trevor bought her while they were married. The only reason she kept it now was because it was pretty. And, it matched the blue clothes she had on. She put on some silver hoop earrings, went to the mirror, and fluffed out her hair.
"It's getting late, prince charming.
"Listen, I told her to come. She's going to come. It's not even 11:30 yet."

A few minutes later, Sharona pulled up to the door of Adrian's apartment building and honked the horn. She put her elbow on her steering wheel and her head in her hand and sighed. Sure enough, Adrian came out of his house and stepped into the car.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes, I'm ready, Adrian. Is there any store even open this late?"
"The market around the corner is open 24 hours."
"Do they have split peas?"
"Yes. I bought them there once before."
Sharona shook her head. "Only you would buy split peas at 11:30 PM." She put the car in drive and headed up the road.

"Here she comes," said one of the men, looking up the road. He saw tiny dots of light, which were headlights. "Okay, I'll give you two matches, and I'll have two. Light them right before she pulls up, then hide behind that tree. Okay?"
"Allright." The first man gave his friend two matches and they both hid. The woman neared the tracks...
' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '
Sharona felt her eyes drooping. She didn't feel like she could keep herself awake any longer. Just a little rest, she thought. She closed her eyes and began slowly drifting into the other lane, where cars were going the other way.
' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '
"Ready...LIGHT THEM!" The two lit their matches and threw them onto the tracks.
' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '
Adrian, who had been looking out the window, noticed that they weren't in the right lane anymore, and looked over at Sharona, who was napping, her head on the steering wheel.
"Oh my God. SHARONA! SHARONA, WAKE UP!" There had been no cars coming from the side that Sharona had drifted into, but now, two were coming.
"SHARONA! WAKE UP, SHARONA!"

The car neared the tracks and collided with the flames, creating a huge explosion. Then, a horn sounded, and bells began ringing. A train was coming.
"Oh no," said the man's friend, "The car's going to get run over!"
"Maybe we can push it out of the way..its pretty far up the tracks. Come on." the two got on the tracks and began pushing away the remainder of the car.
"WATCH OUT!" The man jumped out of the way just in time. The car had been pushed far enough to not get run over, but the man's friend hadn't moved.

"Huh?" Sharona lifted her head and looked forward. "OH MY GOD! ADRIAN!" The first car came, and swerved to the left. He couldn't stop, because of the car behind him. The first car hit the passenger side, and Adrian flopped forward and hit his head on the dashboard.
"ADRIAN! Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God." Sharona quickly got into the right lane, and pulled over. She picked up her phone and called Captain Stottlemeyer.

The man's friend looked at the train. He was frozen in place, too scared to move. The conductor of the train was shouting to get out of the way, but he didn't, and the train ran him over.
A/N: haha you're gunna luv wut happens.
