The door bell was ringing although it was after 10 p.m. Hannah started worrying. Who could this be? When she opened she recognized Steven, her ex-boyfriend. “Hey, what happened? Don´t you know that´s already very late?” Hannah asked him. “I only wanted to see you!” We haven´t seen each other for such a long time.” Steven explained. “I love you so much. I can´t live without you. Please come back to me.” Hannah shook her head and tried to explain what she had explained to him at least a hundred times. She told him that they couldn´t be together any longer. She said that she had a new boyfriend, Josh and that she was very happy with him. Angrily Steven left the house.
The next day Hannah and Josh spent a wonderful day at their little lake. The sun was shining and the young couple had a lot of fun. Josh was so cute! He was just the opposite of Steven. Steven had sometimes treated her very badly. He even gave her a slap on the face or pushed her so that she fell to the floor. How lucky she was now. Almost every day Josh made her al little present and he showed her how much he was in love. When they returned home Josh arranged arranged a romantic walk through a little forest. But when they kissed the incredible happened: Steven stood right in front of them. Hannah was frightened and shivered all over her body. But Steven disappeared without saying a word. His eyes said enough.
One week later Hannah noticed a shadow in the garden. It was late in the evening and she had just taken a shower before she wanted to go to bed. Hannah was sure that it had been Steven. She locked all doors and windows and lay in her bed. But nothing else happened. At last she felt in a short sleep with a terrible dream. Since that time nothing remained as it had been before. When she came home she felt as if somebody had been in her room. She felt observed all day and her skin became very pale. Josh didn´t know how to help her. He felt very sorry. Then he had a good idea. To their next date he made her a very special present: a nice young dog. “He cares for you”, Josh said “You won´t be alone any longer when I can´t be at your side.” Hannah had tears in her eyes. Never before a person cared so much for her. “Thank you, Josh. He´s very sweat.” The next days Hannah felt a bit better. She enjoyed the time with her new dog.
It was Friday, the 13th. Hannah wanted to visit Josh. She called her dog but nothing happened. She called again, she looked for him in the garden and in the neighbourhood. No dog! Sadly she returned to her house. When she walked around the corner she stopped. The front door was wide open. She was sure she had locked it. She started running as fast as she could. Having reached the door she didn´t trust her eyes. This couldn´t be true. Her little dog was lying on the floor. There was a lot of blood everywhere. He was dead. She started screaming. The neighbours came and tried to comfort her. “Perhaps another animal or an accident”, someone said. But Hannah knew who had done that- Steven! Now she realized how dangerous he was. Josh persuaded Hannah to inform the police. But the police said that they couldn´t do anything. There was no proof that it had been Steven. So Josh had another idea to get Steven punished.
The next day he called his friend Marc and they stopped at Steven´s house. Marc hid behind a bush when Josh rang the door bell. Seeing Josh Steven lost control. “You stole my girlfriend.” Steven cried. He started to beat Josh, he hit him in the face in a way that he broke Josh´s nose. That was the moment when Marc arrived with the police. Steven was arrested and later on sent to prison.
For a few months Hannah and Josh could be safe again.

It was a beautiful Monday morning in June. For some people it would be the worse day in their lives, but it started good even if it was Monday and the weekend ended. Jack, a young man who started every day with cleaning the kitchen in the pizzeria, where he worked, didn’t come. He never was ill before, he was trusted and never came too late to work. He always was the first person who stood before the pizzeria, but this morning everything was different. The debt-collector wanted the money, two days earlier! It was the end of the month and Jack had only 10 dollars. Two years ago Jack was addicted to drugs and borrowed ten thousand dollars of a “nice” guy who was casual a good friend of his dealer. Every Wednesday he wanted his money, but this week he came earlier. He wanted his money until it was afternoon, the whole money he needed it now! Jack didn’t know what to do… He couldn’t ask parents or friends because they didn’t want to know about him anymore. He had his gun in his hand, he hadn’t any other idea, but then he looked out his window… one last time. He saw the bank, a big tree and the street. The bank!!! He had lived there since one year, but he never had the idea to rob the bank. He packed his bag. His plan was easy and risky. He walked into the bank with his gun in his hand and the bag under his arm. There weren’t many people in the bank, so it wasn’t too hard for him because he wouldn’t hurt anyone. He ran to the first teller’s window and held his gun in front of the teller. Jack was shaken. He looked around and tried to scream: „Lie down on the floor or somebody get hurt!“ He breathed deeply and said to the teller: „Now, go and bring me all the money that is here.“ Jack looked around again into the faces of the three persons who were lieing on the floor. There was one other teller, an old woman. Suddenly he took pity with them. He thought he made a mistake but then he saw a young woman on the floor. She didn’t look as she was frightened but she even didn’t look as she would stand up and took his gun against him. Jack heard police siren and the teller tried to run away. Jack acted without thinking. He shot at him and the teller went down. Three Police cars stood around the bank. One officer screamed: „Come out with your hands over your head.“ Jack took the young lady and walked with her and the money in his arm and the gun on her head out. He said: „So, now you lie your guns down and go away from the cars or the pretty babe will die.“ The police officers went away. Jack and the young lady got in the car. „Hey young lady I’m Jack and I hope you will enjoy the trip with me“, said Jack and the lady smiled a bit. „I hope our first date wasn’t too bad!”
Jack kicked into the gas pedal so the stud tire began to jar. It seemed that no one in this city cared that a little bank was robbed. So they could drive about two hours and nobody followed them. They nearly drove always straight on without saying a word. But on a little roadhouse they stopped. Jack said: “So now we’re changing the car and I’ve to call… a friend.” Jack and the young lady went out to a phone box. Jack called his debt-collector and said where they were and where he had to come to get his money. Jack had enough money to pay his debts and to start a new life, but somehow he was attracted to her. Jack said: “Oh my god, sometimes I’m such a fool. I forgot to ask, what’s your name?” The young lady answered: “I’m Rachel.” For jack it felt like angels were singing when she opened here mouth and started to speak. Jack spluttered: “One thing I have to ask. Why aren’t you afraid? I mean I’m a bank robber and I shot at someone.” – “Yes, but I think you have your reasons and I saw that you don’t want to do this and that this was your first robbery,” said Rachel. A little break was between them but then Jack’s debt-collector came. “Now here is all your money I’ll hope I‘ll see you never again,” said Jack in a sound that he never had heard before of himself. “I’ll hope so, too” said the man, who was wearing a black suit on this very hot day. Suddenly a police siren was to hear. “Oh damn you have spoofed me! If I see you ever again I swear I will kill you,” said the man and ran away. Jack took Rachel’s hand and they ran to a car. Jack threw a stone into the window and they got in. They drove as fast as they could and stopped a few hundred miles later at a little hotel in the desert. Jack tap at Rachel because she was sleeping. “Rachel?” – “Hm? Where are we,” she said and opened here eyes only a bit. “We are at a hotel where we spend the night!” They went into a little room where it was muggy, but Rachel felt like she was at home. She took her clothes off and fell into the bed. It seemed that she was sleeping directly. Jack sat on the other side of the bed and about thousand questions where on his mind but nearly all of them were about Rachel. “Why she is still here she had the chance to run away? Would she like to go with me to another country? Is she the right or does she only want my money?”
With all these thoughts he fell asleep, but after a few hours next to Rachel he woke up. Some guys with flashlights stood before the door. He agitated Rachel and whispered: “Please, don’t scream I think the police is in front of the door. If you want to come with me you can give me your hand and we run as fast as we can but if you don’t want to be with me stay here and I go alone with a broken heart.” Rachel doesn’t think too long. She gave him her hand and they opened quietly the window. Just in this moment the door was entered by the police. Some officers jumped out of the window and followed them. The pursuit ended at the street because Rachel and Jack were surrounded. One officer screamed out of the group: “Put your hands up and nothing will happen to you.” Jack held Rachel’s hand harder. “Please, don’t do anything to Rachel. I am the robber and she was only a hostage.” He walked a step forward and took his gun to lie down but one officer misunderstood this and shot at Jack. Jack fell down. Rachel stormed to him. “Now my heart is broken even if you are with me! This was the best day in my life! I love you.” Then Jack’s eyes stopped. Rachel cried: “No, why have you done this? Come back please don’t leave me. Hold my hand one last time!” But Jack couldn’t, he was dead!

It was a foggy and cold night when detective Eric Johnson got out of his car. It was one o’clock when he went into the big house. ´It seems that rich people live in this house´, he thought. Eric was a police detective who worked to find murderers. That night he was ordered to this house. He looked around and he saw blood and a white lifeless body.
