I was halfway through shaving when they arrived at the door. I thought about finishing up really quick before answering but by the sound of their buzzing I could tell they were in a hurry. I carried my razor with me to the door as to signal that I wasn't some crazy person who only shaved half my face, but that I was in fact still in the middle of it.

"Hi. Police. Are you--" they asked me by name. I nodded.

"You're needed down at the station for questioning. So if you wouldn't mind, could you please come with us?"

"Sure, but could I finish shaving?" I said while sticking out my razor.

"Of course."

I left the door open while I went into my bathroom to finish up. They didn't come inside my apartment though.

I finished off the left side of my face, put some lotion on, and gave myself one last look in the mirror. Then I grabbed a sweatshirt and headed back to the foyer where the two policemen were waiting.

"I'm ready."

"Okay, let's go then."
