something bad

Last night something bad happened at our apartment complex. I woke up to someone making weird sounds and yelling very violently. He sounded drunk or high. Then I heard the sound of the wall being banged on. Something was happening to the apartment complex. It shuddered.

Then the cops showed up with lights flashing. They peeled out as they turned the corner to enter the parking lot. At about the same time, a police helicopter showed up. It shined its beam on our apartment complex. Even though the shades were closed, light flooded the room. By then Erik was awake. I don't know if someone was arrested, but the weird and violent yelling and the sounds of the building getting harmed ended. The police helicopter made only about 10 passes then left.

People outside were talking for a long time. Eventually the cop car turned its flashing lights off. I felt scared. I hoped cops wouldn't come try to talk to us. What was happening seemed to have been happening right downstairs. But luckily, no cop wanted to talk to us.

Erik was hungry and ate some sunflower seeds. When the cop car left, the people went back into their apartments, and it was quiet out, so we were able to go back to sleep.
