Knocks At Midnight

Knocks At Midnight

It was late at night. I was taking preparation for my ensuing examination. All the members of my family were sleeping. All in a sudden, my phone rang and it was an unknown number. I got frightened. But I thought to myself that I should gather the courage to face the situation. By the time the door of my room was knocked at twice or thrice. I also rang up a few of my neighboring friends and told them the happening. My friends assured me of the necessary actions they were going to take.

Accordingly, they approached our house. The whole of the village people joined the operation. I also awakened the members of my family. I lighted the inside and outside of our house. The villagers cordoned the house from all sides. Apprehending the presence, the gang of, five people tried to run away but they were caught red-handed by the villagers. It was detected that they were professional thieves. The next morning, the thieves were handed over to the local police station. They were caught along with one rifle, three knives and 10 rounds of ammunition.
