A conversation,
	Not supposed to be heard.
	A person's life
	In danger

	A stranger,
	Listening in
	To the thickening plot
	Of a brutal murder.

	His mind
	Races with 
	The thought of
	Saving this person.

	A false sound,
	Leading to
	The discovery of 
	The stranger.

	A gun,
	Pointed at his head
	The soft click,
	And his silent trembling.

	Now,
	Two lives
	Will be taken
	Instead of one.
