The Call

“It was a calm, ordinary evening when emergency dispatch received an unusual call.”

“On the line was not an adult, but a frightened five-year-old girl named Mia,”

who whispered that someone was hiding under her bed.

Doubt and Response

Her parents apologized, saying she

had an imagination, but the dispatcher hesitated.

Officers were sent after sensing how real her fear sounded.

Discovery

Mia silently led police to her room.

Under the bed was nothing—until a scraping sound drew attention to the floor.

Beneath the boards, officers uncovered a hidden hatch and tunnel.

Outcome

“Deep inside the tunnel, officers found three escaped convicts hiding in the darkness.”

“Her voice, ignored at first, had ended their escape.”

That night, “she finally slept—safe, heard, and believed.”
