Life, Death

Detective Karl Jenkins confronts an unknown intruder in Luke Smith's house, resulting in a violent struggle and the accidental death of the intruder.

As Detective Karl Jenkins stands in Luke Smith's kitchen, pondering Sarah's cryptic warning, he is startled by the presence of a large man dressed in black emerging from the stairs. Assuming the man to be Luke, Karl engages in a desperate struggle, attempting to defend himself and escape.
  The confrontation escalates as Karl and the man grapple, with Karl managing to temporarily incapacitate the intruder. However, as Karl tries to flee, the man grabs his foot, dragging him back. In a frantic attempt to break free, Karl executes a forceful kick that sends the man reeling.
  The struggle takes a tragic turn when the man loses his footing on the carpeted stairs and begins to fall. Karl instinctively reaches out to stop the fall, but ends up being pulled down with him. In a horrifying moment, Karl lands on the man's head, the impact resulting in a fatal injury.
  Shocked and nauseated by the accidental death, Karl grapples with the overwhelming reality of the situation. He hastily hides the body in a cupboard under the stairs and makes his escape through the broken window, his mind reeling from the unexpected turn of events.
