Mystery Solved

At 5am Jason & I both woke-up to Tucker barking. He usually does not make a peep all night so I sent Jason to investigate. I also heard some sort of noise outside but couldn't figure out what it was. Jason came back and said that it was a car parked in the driveway with lights on and horn honking constantly (not like an alarm). Did I mention it was raining outside?

Murder... definitely, a murder.. was what came to my mind. AND the murderer was probably hiding in our backyard hence why Tucker was barking. We decided to call the police but apparently a call had already been placed and they were on their way.

As we sat in bed... unable to go to sleep we went over different scenarios.. You already know what I thought. Then Jason couldn't help but think maybe it was an elderly person who needs help. NO NO NO.. it was a crime scene someone was dead..murdered.. it was probably a lifeless body who's head was pressed against the steering wheel. I was convinced.

Against my advice, Jason decided to walk down the street to see what it was... I stood on the porch waiting.. waiting for him to come screaming back to the house. I thought I was going to have to call the police if Jason was attacked. I even suggested he take a knife with him (yeah, I know.. I'm paranoid). But then again I had already convinced myself that the murdered by lurking in our backyard. I saw him walk up to the car... then walk away and get on his phone.

I KNEW IT! Dead body. But alas, it was not... I saw a cop car pull up and shine his lights on the vehicle. Then the garage door opened and a man walked out. Then I saw my hubby walking back down the street to our house.

The murder victim was actually an old man who claimed someone had a gun and was going to shoot him.  He wanted to get someones attention so he thought it would be a good idea to lock himself in the car and lay on the horn. I feel bad.. Jason thinks he may of had dementia or maybe he was afraid of his son.

I guess we will never know... but it made for a good story. AND apparently I watch wayyyyy to many crime shows. THE END.
