On one afternoon around twelve fifteen P.M Two gentlemen and one woman are at the bus stop. The sun beaming on their backs and their necks as they await for the bus to sluggishly arrive. The first gentleman appears to be older or in his late thirties. He fashions an all blue dickie suit with a dickie suit logo drawn on the lower right hand side of his pants . He also sports a sliver name tag with the name Carl written in all black. His hair seemed to be black and at shoulder length. The second gentleman appears to look a tad bit younger, his eyes are low, and he is sporting a black Adidas shirt, wearing brown khakis shorts, with a green hat that has three letters in bold which read bob. Now noticeable by Henna who is now seating under the grey bus bench, where the sun cannot reach her or attack her with heat, Henna now reflecting on how horrible her day has begun. she had awaken un-eager, bothered, and late for work. In her hassle she unwillingly left behind her purse with her wallet inside. Sadly, she shook her head, and as she did so, she caught a glimpse of the man wearing the all blue dickie suit, now known as Carl. At least that’s what his nametag reads, thinks Henna. Henna now twirling her long burgundy hair, pondering on asking either Carl or Bob would they or could they help her with her problem and give her five dollars to get on the bus that still has not arrived. She gets up and walks over to Carl and starts talking to him, then a short while later Bob joins.

Now Henna starts to explain her day and how it began to go awry while still waiting on the bus, which feels likes another year or two would pass before they can get on. Henna finally works up the courage and the nerve to ask the two gentlemen, would they help her out? Bob said no he could not. Carl said, ''yes, but what are you going to do for it''? Carl, instantly regretting that he had said that to the young lady. But, before he could finish his sentence and try to apologize…

Henna’s face cringed with disgust and is now exploding with rage. Henna goes in her clutch and draws a glock nine, and without hesitation, begins to relentlessly open fire on Carl. Shooting him multiple times in his face and neck, Carl instantly dies. Out of fear of dying, Bob’s ‘flight or fight’ responses kicks in, causing him to try and immediately flee, but sadly Henna’s fury is unrelenting. Henna, now pointing the gun down the street towards Bob. Bob, now half way down the street, then turns around to see Henna pointing and firing the gun. The gun goes off making Bob and Henna’s ears ring. Henna shoots Bob in the leg, causing him to fall forward. Bob now realizes that he has been shot in his leg and that his leg is bleeding severely.

Bob looks up to see Henna approaching him. He franticly tries to crawl away, but, it’s too late. Henna is now hovering over Bob, shooting him once more in the head, killing him. Frightened and dazed with emotion, Henna flees the scene of the crime in a panicked manor. The next day the news aired a story. The newscaster says, ''Two men were killed at a local bus stop in the grimiest part of town. Their bodies were found by a local bus driver. One man was found dead, shot several times in his head and his neck. The other male victim was found not too far away from the bus stop. He was shot once in the leg and in the back of his head. Both men died instantly. If there is any one that has any information or if anyone has witnessed the crime, please come forward.''

Two days later around three A.M , a witness that saw the crime being committed and sent in a video recording of the events that unfolded the other evening. The witness refused to share their name or face, and stated that they would like to remain anonymous. The police officer who received the video recording submitted it as evidence and issued a warrant for the woman, now known as Henna whitely. A few hours later a police car pulls up to an abandoned building that has a sign barely hanging onto its hinges.

The sign reads, The Fun House. The officer, now out of the car enters the building and he couldn’t help but notice the old building has a pungent smell which smelled like fart and dead animals. It’s very dark in the building, so the officer draws his gun which has a flashlight attached. The officer turns on his flash light and continues walking. Henna, now panicking and in need of a way out, or a plan. The officer announces that, ''he is looking for a Henna Whitley and asks for her to come out.'' The officer restates the same phrase several times for about thirty to forty minutes.

Finally Henna comes out. The officer can see that she's terrified. The police officer demands that she puts her hands up, but Henna does not comply with the police officer's command. The police officer asked Henna again to put her hands up. Henna begins to try and plead and reason with the police officer. Unknown to the police officer, Henna has the same gun she used to kill the two men behind her back. The police officer says that, ''I am going to ask you one more time to put your hands up, I have a warrant for your arrest.'' Henna tries to draw the gun and shoot at the officer but...

The officer noticed her reaching and with some hesitation, he shoots her once in her arm, causing her to drop the gun. The police officer rushes over to kick the gun away from her. On his radio he calls for an ambulance and back up to the arrest in progress. The ambulance arrives on the scene of the crime and immediately places Henna on the stretcher, and also placed her in hand cuffs. During the drive to the hospital Henna passed out. When she woke, she was in the hospital and noticed she was handcuffed to the hospital bed. She also felt a little dazed due to the medication. Henna was being briefed by the doctor on her medical condition.

The officer who shot Henna was sitting in the chair in her hospital room. He stood and introduced himself. "My name is police officer Dan Flint, and I am an officer of the Danville Police Department. I'm here to charge with two counts of first degree murder." The police officer reads Henna her rights. Henna is in disbelief and begins to cry. She cried so much she fainted. The next day the hospital official released Henna into police custody.

A few days later, a story airs on the news saying that the criminal who committed the killings of Carl and Bob was caught a few days ago and has been sentenced to life without parole.

The end.
