Dating Website

The following story is based upon a true story. I heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend, who heard it from a friend. (Not sure how accurate this is, and I don't know all the details, so I'm making them up but the basic story is the same)

She met him on a dating app and they went out to dinner. When they met she didn't really like him. After dinner she went home, deciding not to go on another date with him. While she was home she heard a noise. She ignored it, must be her imagination. Then she heard it again, and she lived alone. It sounded like someone grunted. She dashed upstairs and grabbed her landline and dialed 911.

"Dispatch, what's your emergency?"

"I think that there's someone in my house and I live alone. Could you please send someone over immediately?"

"I'm sorry we're really backed up right now. We can be there within 45 minutes to an hour."

"No, no. You don't understand. I think I'm in danger. I'm scared. Could you please just send someone over to check it out?"

"I'm sorry You're going to have to wait."

"Please, please. I don't know what else to do. I'm locked inside, I can't get away." Suddenly she hears a knock at the door. It had been about 5 minutes since she called. The door opened, and she heard a commotion downstairs. There was shouting and running. She screamed, she couldn't help it. She put her hand over her mouth. There was footsteps coming towards her, and the door opened. It was the police.

"We're here mam." She stared at him.

"But, but dispatch told me that you couldn't be here for another hour."

"Here, let me show you something." She stands up. The policeman leads her to her basement, The man who she went on a date with. He had followed her home, and broken in. On a table there were knives spread out

"He is a serial killer that we have been after for quite some time. When you called we figured it out, but look." The landline had been tapped into. He had been planning to kill her, but if the police had said they would be there immediately, he would have left. She looks at the police officer, she was still breathing fast.

"I'm never going to use a dating website again."
