It was certainly an unusual morning. Amber was late for work for the first time in two years. But even more unusual was the story she told her boss. As she was about to send her son to school, a friend called and said there was a crime being reported on Amber’s street. She looked down the street and saw a large man with an angry face. He was knocking loudly on her neighbor’s door. She knew Frank was going to be late for school, but she didn’t dare to let him leave. A few minutes later, she heard the police arrive. She knew they would be safe then, so she told her son he could leave. But when Frank opened the door, their cat ran out into the yard. Amber ran after the cat, but it ran to the left. Just as the cat was picking up speed, Amber finally caught up to it. She grabbed it by the tail and shouted as if she just won a victory. Just then, she looked up and saw a shiny car entering her neighborhood. It was the Stevensons, the “perfect” neighbors with all the right friends. And there was Amber, standing in her nightshirt, surrounded by police cars, and holding a scared cat in the air by the tail.
