Midnight

Two police cruisers pull up. No, it's not a bad joke. There was a 911 call, apparently from our address, but . . . we didn't make it. We'd only been home for ten minutes, too. The police called dispatch, shrugged, and left. I suggested boy check the basement, as there's a phone down there, but he says he locked the door before coming up.

Maybe somebody's stuck down there.

Ah, well.

Do you have a cordless phone? Some models of cordless phones used to have an odd thing on them that caused the phone line to register a 911 call when it either got a power spike or the battery died for good. If there was a power surge or your cordless phone is completely utterly dead, that might be the source of it.

No cordless phones.
