    At 5am her eyes

    are still heavy.

    It rings again and she sighs with resignation.

    Picks up.

    "Emergency services, how can I help you?"

    Her brow furrows

    and she stubs out

    her cigarette,

    rolling the broken end against the glass ashtray.
    "Wait a second there hon, you want to report a murder?
    And you were actually a witness to this? Uh huh..."

    She rolls

    her eyes at Bob.

    'This guy's a quack!'

    "You're saying that your son murdered a knight?
    This ain't England sweetie, we don't have none of those."

    She twirls a pen.

    Drops it.

    Stabs the point

    into the wood of her desk.

    "Just hold on a sec...Talk to my supervisor."
    She hands Bob the hesadset with a little shrug.
    "Yes, hello Sir, what exactly seems to be the problem?"

    'Crazy' she mouths

    over the lip of her coffee cup.

    "She wouldn't listen. Don't you see it?
    The sun has murdered the night.
    Don't you see the blood?"

    Bob scratches his head

    and looks out

    the plate glass window

    and over the sign for 'Harry's Waffle Heaven'
    he notices the first red tendrils of dawn
    creeping guiltily across the sky.
