Someone in the house

Sarah walked out of the kitchen with a plate in her hand and a glass cup in the other as she went to sit on one of the chairs in the sitting room. She picked up a cookie from the plate and chewed on it as she scrolled through her phone to get updated about the recent news until one gained her attention.

She clicked on it and read in her mind, “How the murder case of a high school student was ordered to be closed by the parents while letting the culprit go scot free.”

A frown came to settle on her face as she read along and just in time, she heard a knock on her door. As she was not expecting anyone at the moment and also, her husband cannot be home at that moment, the frown on her face deepened as she thought of who it can be. The sound of someone knocking again jerked her up as she took cautious steps towards the door.

Standing at the front of the door, she asked, “Who is it??” but received no response.
