Argument

He was driving home, late in the evening, thinking about the argument.

Thinking back, he knew it was a mistake to rub the man up the wrong way. He had no idea who the man was. He had caught site of him in the city a couple of times and although he always looked well-dressed, he felt there was something shady about him. That morning he’d been parking his car when the guy in an expensive sports car had blasted his horn, trying to park in the same spot. Thinking back, he was sure he had begun backing into the space before the other man. Anyway, what followed was an almighty row. He was within his rights on the matter and wasn’t in the mood to give in to the man’s bullying and arrogance. The incident had played on his mind all day in the office…

Parking at the rear of the apartment block, he took the lift to the third floor. Entering his unit, where he lived alone, he made straight for the kitchen and put the kettle on. Making a strong coffee, the thing that usually calmed his nerves, he went through to the lounge to sit and relax with it.

It was there, laying on the floor… a handgun!

He couldn’t believe his eyes. He had never owned a gun. Never felt the need. Maybe it was a toy, but he’d had very few visitors of late. He picked it up. Turning it over in his hands, it was surprisingly heavy. It certainly was real. He began to look around. If someone had broken in and left it, had anything been taken?

He began to go from room to room, looking for signs that he’d been burgled.

He was doing this when the front doorbell sounded. He wasn’t expecting anyone, at least, not this late. It could be his neighbour, wanting to borrow something again. Slipping the gun in his pocket, he made his way to the door.

As he did, he hardly noticed the blue light flashing in the street below.
