home drama

you will NEVER believe what happened last night. and since it is doubtful that mom or kate will blog about it, i suppose i will!

i called mom's house last night about 11 pm, and kate answered the phone. she said that someone had just softly knocked on the door and scared them half to death (mom had the front blinds open, so he could see inside). well mom and kate ran to the back and woke up dad (wisely didn't answer the door), and dad turned on ALL the lights in and outside the house... and then they looked outside. there was a significant amount of BLOOD on the front porch, down the stairs, and into the grass. and from looking at where the blood was on the porch, the person knocked on the WINDOW not the door.

so mom called 911 and within 10 minutes, there were 5 sheriff cars there, 8 cops (one of the cars was full). they dispatched for the canine unit to come out, and it took him 35 minutes to get to my parent's house FROM FUQUAY VARINA!!! that is like an hour (or more) drive.

anyway, the dog tracked the blood over to that trailer across the road from the bottom driveway (across the powerlines). the dude told the cops that he locked himself out of the trailer and he decided to break a window to get in. when he broke the window, he cut himself pretty bad. he doesn't have a phone (and apparently not a cell phone either) in the trailer, so he walked over to mom and dad's house to get help. for what ever reason, though, he left. the cops said he spoke very little english. and this morning at 6am when i drove past there, the front porch light was on (at the trailer), and there was no car in the yard.

WEIRD!!!
