The Break In (Part 3)

Later that day, the sky went dark. It went dark inside Billy's heart too.

"Well, maybe you would like to keep your window closed next time" said the police officer who perhaps, tried to comfort Billy and his wife.

"Ya, maybe I would love to do that" Billy sighed. He could've sighed harder. But he didn't.

The police officer left the house. Billy and the wife watched the police officer stepped into the car and turned on the engine. And they watched him driving away too. They stood by the window and did not know what to do.

"Can we eat rice balls tonight?" said the wife.

But in Billy's mind, he was grabbing the robber's arm. He caught the robber and the stuffs he took from Billy were slipping out of his hands. Billy would not let go of the robber.

The dinner however, was decided without Billy's consent.
