Suddenly, there was an urgent knocking at the door, and my heart started pounding again.
I rushed out and stopped my dad from opening the door.
I made a shushing gesture to him and looked through the peephole.
Sure enough, I saw the bulging eyes of Aaron pressed against the peephole.
I was so frightened that I took a huge step back.
Covering my heart, I tried to calm myself down.
My mom came out after hearing the knocking.
She helped me to the sofa.
Fortunately, the knocking only continued for two or three times before Aaron seemed to leave.
But the next second, the neighbor's door started knocking.
The male owner of the neighboring house, Ian Cooper was a martial arts coach.
He loved to teach troublemakers a lesson.
If he got woken up by Aaron, there would surely be an exciting scene.
I listened to the knocking get louder and louder, praying that Ian would wake up.
And give Aaron a good beating.
But to my surprise, it was the female owner, Alice Bell who opened the door.
She had just said, “I’ll take the delivery."
And she screamed, “Honey, there’s a bad person here.”
As the door swung wide open with a bang.
I heard the sound of someone being kicked to the ground and Aaron’s pained cries.
