Revellers in the middle of the night

I am in bed with Space at my parents’. It is 4 in the morning and my attention is caught by a bunch of people the other side of the fence who have motorbikes and are talking loudly. I feel threatened, like they might come in. Space peeks at them through the curtain then moves to the other room to get some sleep. I think I see one slipping over the fence and hear them talking about getting in and I run to Mum and dads room and ask to borrow the phone to call the non emergency line. When I get a response from that line, they say they don’t service our area. So I ask them to put me through to 911, but no one is answering and I realise that’s because in England, emergency services are 999. I see the revellers making their way down the grass of our back yard towards the house. I’m afraid. I tell everyone and ask them all to stay upstairs and be ready. When a policeman finally answers the emergency line, I can’t speak. My voice is completely paralyzed by fear. I pass the phone to my mum and she takes the call.
