How he hated these early morning shifts, officer Gerald thought. But he knew it was his duty to check out the disturbance. Him and his fellow officers went to see what was happening at the old mans house. When he knocked on the door the young man greeted them and offered that they come in and have a drink. He led the unaware officers up the stairs to chat over tea. The men talked freely as did the host.

Until finally the host snapped, he threw his chair and told the officers of his deed. Finally breaking from his guilt he admitted everything.
