Chapter 2
Officer Baun and his partner were the firsts on the scene. He knocked twice and asked if there was someone home. There was no answer and the house seemed peaceful. He called the station to confirm if he should proceed and break in.
The call had come ten minutes ago. A woman, who identified herself as the sister of the owner, called 911 and claimed there was an intruder in the house. Urged them to hurry because the intruder was in her sister room and could be hurting her. He hadn't notice she was in the house yet.
With the approval of the central, he took out his gun and signaled his partner that they would enter the house. He kicked the door open and entered.
Everything was dark and the house seemed empty. There was no noise and he called hello to see if someone would answer. Once again there was complete silence.
For a moment he considered it was a prank and that was an empty house they just broke in. That thought change instantly when he looked to the living room. Furniture turned and broken, signs of a struggle that had taken place. He moved further inside the house and felt the breeze coming from the broken glass door that led to the backyard.
His heart stop when he finally saw the body lying in the marble way, blood all around it. He hesitated for maybe ten seconds, and then walked slowly to the body, looking around to see if the intruder was still there, but there was no movement.
The sight was horrible and there was a lot of blood. He could see at least two visible stab wounds. Without any hope to find a pulse he bent down and place his finger on her neck.
He held his breath in disbelieve and waited to be completely sure. She wasn't dead. There was still a faint pulse.
He took out his radio and called for an ambulance and back up. And prayed she would not die on his watch.
