\u00a0Hello\u2026<\/p>\n
The officer frowned. The voice belonged to a little girl, no older than seven.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Hello, sweetie. Why are you calling so late? Where are your parents?<\/p>\n
\u2013 They\u2026 they are in the room, \u2013 she replied hesitantly.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Okay, give me the phone to your mom or dad.<\/p>\n
There was a pause.<\/p>\n
\u2013 No\u2026 I can\u2019t, \u2013 the girl\u2019s voice grew quieter.<\/p>\n
The man\u2019s hands began to shake.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Alright, then tell me what happened. You know you only call the police for something important.<\/p>\n
\u2013 It\u2019s important\u2026 \u2013 the girl sobbed. \u2013 Mom and dad are in the room\u2026 and they aren\u2019t moving.<\/p>\n
The officer\u2019s sleepiness vanished immediately.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Maybe they\u2019re just sleeping? It\u2019s late at night.<\/p>\n
\u2013 No. I tried to wake them. Usually Mom always wakes up when I enter the room\u2026 but not now.<\/p>\n
