Telemarketer Revenge
The phone rang as I was sitting down to my evening meal, and as I
answered it I was greeted with "Is this Karl Brummer". Not sounding
anything like my name, I asked who is calling. The telemarketer
said he was with The Rubber Band Powered Freezer Company or
something like that. Then I asked him if he knew Karl personally and
why was he calling this number. I then said off to the side, "get
some pictures of the body at various angles and the blood smears", I
then turned back to the phone and advised the caller that he had
entered a murder scene and must stay on the line because we had
already traced this call and he would be receiving a summons to
testify in this murder case. I questioned the caller at great
length as to his name, address, phone number at home, at work, who
he worked for, how he knew the dead guy and could he prove where he
had been about one hour before he made this call. The telemarketer
was getting very concerned and his answers were given in a shaky
voice. I then told him we had located his position and the police
were entering the building to take him into custody, at that point I
heard the phone fall and the scurrying of his running away. My wife
asked me as I returned to our table why I had tears streaming down
my face and so help me, I couldn't tell her for about fifteen
minutes. My meal was cold, but it was the best meal in a long, long
time.
