As Officer Hartwell leans forward and grab his cup of coffee, he hears the captain voice over the phone as he reassures the Mayor that he would be at the celebratory ball later that evening, he leans comfortably into his chair to settle for what he thought would be a routine day at the office.
As he starts to slowly dose off, he is startled by the suddenly ringing of the telephone (it barely ever rings), as he rushes to pick up the phone,he hears a breathless panting voice barely audible that he strains to hear what it has to say.
He barely hears the voice crying,Help she's gone crazy, she's got a baseball bat and a tomahawk,she's been chasing me around town and I have no idea why, send patrol men to the city Park I'm headed there right now before it cuts off abruptly.
Kids this days seem to be taking pranking to a whole new level he thought as nothing strange has ever happened in the sleepy little town,save the teens always thinking of new ways to prank just about anyone.
As Tom stares hopefully from his hidding place under a thick brush expecting the police to show up anytime soon,he thinks about what might have driven Lara to want to brain him with a baseball, was there anything he was missing her birthday perhaps or an anniversary? But that was like three weeks ago and her birthday wasn't supposed to be for another week.
But that wasn't enough reason for her to want to kill him because she didn't look she was playing when she swung the bat at him or narrowly miss him in the truck.
Where is the damn police when you need them he thought barely keeping together.
He heard someone walking slowly around, thinking it must be the officer sent to check up on him he swiftly crawls out of the bushes,Only to come face to face deranged looking lady holding a bat in her hand and smiling maniacally.
Fancy seeing you here Tom she sang out Happily as she stepped towards him,hold still you have something on your face she said as she swung the bat towards his face with a ferocity that surprised him, as he dove backwards falling down hill.
In his office, Hartwell had a second thought and decided to check the park incase the teenagers decided to go cause a raucous and damage public property, as he arrived in his squad car, he saw a middle age woman walk into the park brandishing a baseball bat.
He barely gets a better look before hears his name and turns to see his dog walker wave to him across the street,as he turns around the woman seemed to have vanished into the park.
As he tries to trace her steps he hears a screams and runs towards the area.
As he arrives the area he sees the woman raising a bat to brain a barely conscious man and the follow, putting and energy into hiss run, he pulls his stun gun and shots at her as the bat swings down.
As Tom regains consciousness, he wakes up in a hospital bed, his arm in a sling.
As the Door opens his wife walks in with the sweetest smile on her face
