Embarrassing situation

Previous year, me and my family were doing a barbecue to celebrate my mother's bithday. The party was very normal. My step father started a speech. He was saying things like how he and my mother met each other. When he ended the speech, we listenned a loud conversation coming from the neighboring house. As we are very curious, we were seeing what was happening. So we decided to stay behind the wall. The neighbor started to say: ''Please, do not do it, I will give you what you want'' with a voice of fear. Next a man said: ''Shut up or everybody will die''. At that time, my mother thought it was a robbery then decided to call the police. Minutes later, police came and raided the house of my neighbor. Surprisingly, when officers arrived the neighbor was staging a play. Me and my family were too ashamed. It was also quite embarrassing.
