The 4am Scare

So the other night I woke up suddanly to two very loud bangs in my apartment. I immediatly sat up, thinking someone had probably broken into my home. I tried to listen for several minutes, to see if I could hear anyone walking arround, but didnt. I was too scared to look into the living room to see if anyone was in there, so I sat up in my bed terrified! So I grabbed my pepper spray, and proceeded to listen for any footsteps wearing nothing but a nigh gown. After what seemed to be 10 minutes, I got so scared that I called the police, and told them my dilemma. When the police officer arrived, he knocked loudly on my front door, so I quickly swung open my bedroom door that led to the living room, and did a quick survey to see if anyone was in there. they wernt. So I unlocked my door, and let the nice police man inside to sit down. I explained to him what happened, and that I hadn't checked the apartment yet since I was too scared. Before I could finish, the nice police man calmly explained that he checked the area, and didnt see anything suspicious, but reminded me that is WAS thundering outside....
