I awoke to a sound I could not identify. “This has never happened in our compound at this hour of the night,” talked to myself in a low tone. On looking through the dark window, I saw several spotlights moving hesitantly towards our backyard. My brother’s bed is adjacent to mine, and I could touch him by slight stretching. But tonight, it wasn’t usual, I tried to make some stumbling touches, but all was in vain. Perhaps, this is not the first unusual sound, and he must have awoken long ago. Before figuring the situation out, another loud bang went off.

Immediately, I jumped out of bed, almost hurting my left knee, to acquaint myself with the situation. I rushed to the living room without lights on and stumblingly looking for the switch. I put the light on only to find my brother deeply lying on the couch! With shock and fright, I touched him and asked, hey, what is the loud noise about? On opening his eyes, also with excitement, he reprimanded with a question, what’s up brother? What do you mean what’s up? Haven’t you heard all these loud noises outside here? Before he answered, we saw a very bright light under the door floor, and a loud bang followed. Probably we were under attack, and with panic, I decided to call the 999 for help. The 999 call did not take long for pick up, and they told us “we are at your doorstep, could you open.” My brother told me this is not real, how on earth have they reached our doorstep in less than 3 seconds. We decided to take courage and peep through door keyhole. I saw the police uniform and danger lights outside. On opening the door, the police stormed in and asked us what was happening since they received a call from our address about 2 hours ago. Honestly, I did not have an idea of what they were asking, and I left it to my brother to answer.

Interestingly, the police called the phone number that had called 999 earlier only to see my brother’s phone winking screen light on the couch. My brother sighed since it was almost clear to him that the time he was sleeping he had slept on the phone screen and it dialed itself with the 999 emergencies. Next, we were handcuffed and taken to police post to record a statement for falsely calling emergency yet it was clear it was accidental. And after a few interrogations, they released us on condition that the case was accidental since my brother had slept on the phone and it dialed itself calling 999. Nobody believed what had just happened that night and up today when we remind each other of the incident, everyone laughs at the joke.
