Subject: Monkey's Paw Modernized! (Pt 3)-Sierra

Continuing to watch the two squad cars pull up, Emma rehearsed in her mind, the words she was going to say. The police finally made it to the house as both Emnma and Rebecca waited. "Officer!", "Officer!" cried Emma as she ran up to one of the policeman. "We found this man lying dead here!", she added. All four policemen left their cars to witness the body. Seconds later, an ambulance and a coronoer's truck made its way up the hill. "How long has he been here?", asked one of the officers. "We found him lying here 30 minutes ago.", Emma said."My sister, mother and I were watching TV and we heard a lound thump. We came outside and that's when we found him." "where's your mother?", asked another officer. "She's lying on the couch." Emma replied. "She couldn't stand the sight, so she fainted. As the ambulance and coroner's truck pulled up, two from the ambulance checked Mrs Ingram when one of the officer's instructed them of her whereabouts. Two from the coroner's truck inspected the man's body. "He's dead alright", replied a woman from the coroner's. The man with her from the ambulance also inspected the body. "He looks like he's been shot.", he replied. "One to the heart and three to the rib cage." Reviving from her faint, Mrs Ingram became puzzled when seeing the paramedics. "Who are you?" Mrs Ingram timidly cried. "Were here to reomove the dead body from your drive way." replied one of the paramedics. "Oh my God! Are my girls alright?", asked Mrs Ingram nervously as she watched the police and ambulance lights flashing in her window. "They're fine ma'am." replied the paramedic politely. "The offiers are just asking them some questions." Moving swiftly outside, she quickly called the girls. "Em!", "Rebecca!" "Are you alright?" The two quickly looked over at her as Emma finished answering the officer's questions. When Mrs Ingram walked over, she saw the man's body being placed in a body bagand hauled in the coroner's truck. "Did he have anything with him? Did he try to speak?", asked one of the officer's. "No." Emma replied "We only heard a noise and by the time we came out, he was already gone." "Well if you see or hear anything else, you call us right away." replied the officer. "We sure will.", cried Rebecca in a small friendly tone. Watching the police, paramedics, and coroner's get in their vehicles to drive off, the three continued watching until their vehicle lights were gone. Afterwards, Mrs Ingram, Emma, and Rebecca ran into the house as fast as they could. "Where's the money?!" cried Rebecca in a panic. "I hid it under the floor board!", Emma cried as she took the briefcase out. "All that money!", exclaimed Mrs Ingram. The three began to shreik with excitement. "No more starvation!", Emma happily cried. "I'm going to shop till I DROP!", exclaimed Rebecca. "Are we going to wake up soon?", asked Mrs Ingram. "I hope not!", cried Emma. "Let me stay asleep for life!" They all grabbed the money holding it in their hands. Seeing the numerous stacks of hundred dollar bills put more gleem in their eyes. While holding it, Rebecca glanced at the toy hand Emma found earlier and noticed the second finger curled up. "Oh my GOD!!!!", shreiked Rebecca fearfully. Emma quckly looked in her direction. "What's wrong darling?", asked Mrs Ingram. "The hand!", cried Rebecca "Only one of its fingers was curled up! But now it's a second one!" "So.", replied Emma. "So?" cried Rebecca "Haven't you ever heard of the tale of the Monkey's Paw?" It's an object that gets people their desires, but bad thinghs start to happen! The first wish is free, but the next two are deadly!" "Nonsense!", cried her mother laughingly. "Oh shut up Rebecca." said Emma "It's just a foolish tale!" "Ok then think about it!", cried Rebecca. "Did you get all that food before, or AFTER you found the hand?" "Before.", stated Emma. "You see! It's the curse!", cried Rebecca. "Get rid of this money!" "Are you insane?", cried Emma. "We are NOT going to get rid of this money because of some STUPID urban legend!" Mrs Ingram agreed with Emma. "She's right honey. We can't throw this away on myths." "Ok when the roof cave in, don't say I didn't warn you!", replied Rebecca in a sassy tone. "Let me see that hand again?", asked Mrs Ingram. Giving her the hand, she felt it's hairy texture and became bewildered by its loook. "If only your father were here to share this wealth with us! I wish it were possible!", cried Mrs Ingram as Emma remained lost in money counting. "Mom WHAT have you DONE?!", asked Emma in a terrified manner.

Part 4 Coming Soon!
