Narrowly Escaping Death Twice!

In the very first hours of York, we got to the hostel and unpacked. Having no idea what was in store for us. We needed some groceries so we went down the block to the store.
We were wandering around looking for some food when a tall, fully armed police officer came up to us and forcefully said, “You need to get out of this store there’s been a robbery.”
A ROBBERY??? We didn’t know that, how could we miss that??? We had to leave our cart and our groceries in the store. All the way to Sainsbury (the next store) we were talking about it. We had NO idea that a robbery could take place while we were in the store and us not know it , but maybe it was better that way.
On the way there we saw a young man who had been smashed against the police van with hand cuffs on. I bet he was the culprit. After Sainsbury we went home. That night me and Rhys stayed up later playing connect four, which wasn’t a good idea we found out because that night in the middle of the night the fire alarm went off. It was an ear piercing really annoying sound.
When I was dragged out of bed I was so tired and grumpy. I put on my sweater and followed Mom, who seemed to be the only one who knew it was a fire alarm. It seemed like a maze because we didn’t go out the way we usually do. The first door that led to the outside we couldn’t get out of because we couldn’t figure out how to open it. A lady said, “It’s a false alarm, just go back to bed.”
I didn’t know what was going on so, being so tired, I turned around and headed back to bed.
Mom came and shouted, ”Someone showed us how to open the door. Come on out, Julia!” When we got to the parking lot it was very cold. When we found out it was just a fluke we were very annoyed and relieved because it was 1:15 am and we were all tired. After 6 hours and 2 disasters should we even get out of bed?
