Title - Three Gun Shots

 Suddenly Tom noticed foot prints in the snow. He followed the foot prints to

 the community car park. A man pushed a woman into the car and closed the

 door. The car engine started. A gun shot was fired. The car door swung open

 and the woman got out of the car. A dog jumped out and caught the woman.

 Tom heard the second gun shot. The dog's blood was flowing over the

 woman's body. Tom rushed to help the woman get up. To his shock, the

 woman was his wife, Mary.

 "Mary. What happened?"

 Mary looked at Tom and cried. "The man was your cousin, Dennis. You knew

 he raped me two months ago. I don't know who told him I am pregnant."

 "He called me to borrow some money. I told him no. My money is reserved for

 your pregnancy."

 Mary cried saying,"He called me to claim the baby was his. He asked for

 $50,000 to silence him. I told him to meet me at the car park."

 Tom replied, "Listen. Give me the gun." Tom wiped the finger prints off the

 gun. He then pointed the gun at Mary.

 Mary pleaded," Please don't. For the sake of our baby. Please don't."

Tom fired the gun at Mary's left arm.

Sirens of police cars woke up the whole neighborhood.
