Once there was an old woman. Her son ignored her after going to abroad. Her house was a friend who protects her. No one in the family doesn't like her for some reason. She was lonely as a cloud. She felt so bad sometimes because her son doesn't like to speak with her when she calls them on the phone. One day she reads in the newspaper. She read:
“Police clueless, Killer is roaming freely. Killer disguised as a milkman. He targets helpless and old people living alone. This gruesome thief murdered an old woman. Police still clueless about the killer. The killer could strike again.”— Newspaper
After some time reading this, she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door.
She asked, “Who are you?”
The man replied, “Milkman.”
Women asked, “Why didn't Bob come?”
“He is sick”, the man whispered. Bob told me to deliver milk to your house.
“OK”, said the woman.
“Please bring a pan to pour the milk”, man urged.
Women left the door open and went to the kitchen to take the pan.When the woman come back the milkman was not there. She liked for him outside. But she couldn't find him. So she left the door and went inside. The milkman was hiding inside the house. As she went inside the house the milkman scared her and tied her to a chair. He had a knife with him.He asked her angrily, “Where did u hide all your money?”
She recognized that he was not milkman and he was the killer who she read in the newspaper before.
After some seconds, the doorbell rang. It was a mailman. Mailman gave the parcel and asked for the money. But the women was tied so, the woman said killer to give the money. After that mailman left.Like that, some other delivery guys came and asked for money and the thief paid for everything.At last a pizza delivery guy came. He gave the pizza and asked for money.The woman was still third on the chair, so the thief has to give the money for the order. After that delivery guy left. Then the thief said to woman angrily, “Oh man! What the hell is going on here? Did I come here to rob you or pay your bills. Since morning you make me work like a servant in your house.By paying all the bills my pocket is all empty”
Old lady questioned, “So who asked you to rob in the first day of the month that too in the morning? Your plan is wrong.
“Enough”, yelled the thief, “Now tell where is the money or I'll kill you”
“Take out the keys from my left pocket”
“Okay”
“Now go straight through this door to the small room. Use the bigger key to open the door and inside you'll find a blue colored closet. Everything is inside it. Go and get it”, said the woman.
While he walked to the room he saw some photos frames of that old woman.She was holding a gun in her hand.What the hell! The old woman is a police officer. Wait I'll teach her a lesson in a minute. When he went outside the room, he saw that she had a gun with her. The thief was so scared.
The woman quoted, “You thought you could kill a person who has killed criminals like you my entire life?”
Thief confessed, “Please forgive me”
She said him to tie her because she untied that before easily. He tied her more tightly than earlier. She will not be able to untie herself. But she was as brave as a lion.
The woman commanded, “Now go and take whatever you need.
Thief exclaimed, “Really”.
