GANGSTER - Edward had heard Grace talking about the time of the attempted home invasion and car theft, so he could understand her nervousness; he hurriedly drove over, phoning the police at the same time, and he saw a dark puddle of shapes in the street, which resolved itself into a group of youths standing there with gangster attitude.

ROAM - Unfortunately it was common for youths to roam the streets, sometimes quite innocently, at other times causing trouble wherever they went, so Edward was glad he had called the police, who arrived shortly after he did.

MOUTH - Grace came out, giving Edward a grateful smile and greeting the police; one of them asked her a few questions while the others dealt with the youths who objected to being searched – understandably, as three of them were carrying two tyre irons, knives, and drugs – and one in particular had a very big mouth and used some foul language.

HELL - All of a sudden all hell broke loose  when they starting to whack the policeman  over the head with an empty beer bottle which then shattered and cut the policeman badly. Grace was in complete shock so Edward took her phone & called 000.

LUNGED - One of the youths lunged at Edward, who yelled to Grace to get inside and lock the doors, all the while telling the 000 operator that they needed assistance immediately, as the youths were out of control and a police officer was injured.

Grace spun around on her heel and raced inside, but she’d noticed something in that split second beforehand; the youths were right next to the sprinklers on her nature strip and she could isolate those sprinklers and turn them on full bore — which she did, and to her glee she saw that the sudden blast of water had caught three of the youths off-guard as the two uninjured policemen wielded their tasers, and Edward seemed to have one youth in an armhold.

I like the story .... but what's the word?

[countessalmirena]

Oops.

DOWN – Grace spun around on her heel and raced inside, but she’d noticed something in that split second beforehand; the youths were right next to the sprinklers down on her nature strip and she could isolate those sprinklers and turn them on full bore — which she did, and to her glee she saw that the sudden blast of water had caught three of the youths off-guard as the two uninjured policemen wielded their tasers, and Edward seemed to have one youth in an armhold.

NIGHTIE - Wearing her new nightie that Edward had bought her, Grace hopped into bed and pulled the covers up and went to sleep. Startled she woke up and realised Bailey & Rufus had not been out for a wee 🙂

[countessalmirena]

EXCITED - The hubbub outside was muted now, and Grace swung her feet over the bed and peered out through the window; she’d only nodded off for less than a minute, but in that time, the two uninjured policemen had gained control of the situation and had the youths handcuffed; even as she watched, two more police cars and an ambulance were drawing up, and Edward was knocking on the side door, calling out “Grace, all’s well”, while the dogs made excited snuffling sounds as they recognised his voice.
