Noisy Neighbors

Suzy is a very good writer. She has a nice and quiet neighborhood. When her new neighbors arrive her nightmare comes true…

One day Suzy was working on a new story, when all of a sudden loud music starts playing. She tries to ignore it for the rest of the day, but it is too loud. When it was time to go to bed she thought they would stop the music, but the music went on and on. Around 12:00 p.m. Suzy was still wide awake. She was tossing and turning and couldn’t sleep.

“That’s it!” yelled Suzy.

Suzy got out of bed, put on her slippers, and headed down stairs towards the front door.

When Suzy got there she knocked, but nobody answered.

“Hello, is anybody home,” yelled Suzy.

Then all of a sudden the door opens.

“Hi, how can I help you?” asked Lily.

“Umm, Hi, I came here to ask you guys if you can lower your music?” exclaimed Suzy.

“Well, am so sorry my son, Chris, won’t listen to us and won’t open the door,” said Lily.

“Well you need to do something about it, its 12:30 a.m. and people are trying to sleep here,” yelled Suzy.

“You know what I don’t have time for this let me call my husband, RAMON!” yelled Lily.

“Yes?” said Ramon.

“This lady is giving me problems,” said Lily.

“Well, all I was trying to say is if you can lower down the music,” said Suzy.

“Well of course,” stated Ramon.

Ramon called and called but no response. All of a sudden Ramon went upstairs and Chris wasn’t there. He was GONE.
