ADVICE YOU CAN USE
What to Do When Someone Is Murdered in the Apartment Next to Yours
A handy real-life guide to what happens after the shooting stops
You will be visited by three ghosts.
No, but seriously, you will be visited by at least two detectives. They always travel in pairs.
Oh, you thought “good cop/bad cop” was only on TV?
Nope.
One is going to talk a lot more than the other because the quiet one is waiting to pounce, usually just when you think the interminable gabfest is over.
Because you’d really like them out of your house so you can go have a nervous breakdown.
It all started as you were settling in to watch a little Iron Chef, when you heard a gunshot next door.
So you hit the floor and tried to remember where you left your phone.
The next thing you know, somebody’s pounding on your door screaming, “I’ve been shot! I’ve been shot!”
You didn’t open the door because, duh. In the meantime, this person is getting blood everywhere.
