Murder! D=, Holy snap. Options

I've just come back from a walk to the beach, where I was turned away by police who said that they had just found a dead body. As I walked back I noticed a helicopter overhead, suggesting that they were still searching for a killer. I am completely freaked out, considering a couple of days ago my father had a heart attack and yesterday I watched a motor cyclist crash and be carried away in a stretcher with his legs broken, making this the third time I've been talked to by policemen in three days.
And to think, if I had been fifteen minutes or so earlier, it could well have been me lying there on the beach... this is totally screwed up. If you're unlucky enough to live in Britain follow the news, a killer at large should make for headlines.
I need a drink.

Ah, murder. Early one night last year a policeman was shot and killed during a traffic stop just down the street from where I lived. (I lived on the outskirts of town back then, so "down the street" meant nearly a mile, but still.)

The killer got away, and since he was considered armed and dangerous, they searched for him via helicopter and also warned people to stay inside until he was caught. They caught the guy a few hours later - trying to hide in an apartment complex right by the local library. Thankfully, there was no shootout; the killer freaked out and dropped his gun when he realised that the cops had him surrounded.

At least nothing happened to you, Hassy. Sounds like you've had a rough couple of days though. =/ What a lovely way to end the week.
