Warrant

The music was hardly loud to begin with, just being at the back end of the house was enough to limit the hearing. The knock came again, much louder, thumping at the door. She jumped of her seat, cautiously peering through the kitchen to see if she could see a car parked in the driveway. She couldn't.

"This is the police. Open up!"

Her eyes widened in shock and curiosity as she headed briskly for the door, grabbing the keys off the bench as she did and swinging the door open.

"Sarah Banx?"

"Yes?"

"We have a warrant to search your house."

The bewilderment heightened as she unlocked the fly screen. "What for?"

"Murder."
