I received a call early one morning from Bill, the husband of a good friend. They both worked at the same place but he worked 7-3 and she worked 11-7 so they meet up at work as one is coming on and the other leaving.
Seems that his battery was dead and he wanted me to come over and give him a jump. My daughter, 10 years old, was getting dressed for school so I took a chance and ran over, jumped his truck off and raced back home.
When I got home my daughter met me with the message that someone had called. I ask her who? but she just said "Some man". I ask her what she told him, terrified that she had told a total stranger that she was home alone. She said, "I told him that you went to jack Mr. Bill off". No one has ever admitted to being the person that called me that fateful morning.
