Me: (hesitates) Were you supposed to tell the police you were safely home? I’m confused.
Cryptic: Yeah. That’s why I called back.
Me: Ok. Are you wanting an officer to come there?
Cryptic: Ummm (long pause). Yes.
Me: Ok. What is this regarding?
Cryptic: Someone following me? From the bar. Some crazy guy.

Me: Is the person that followed you there?
Cryptic: Maybe
Me: Well, can you look out the window & tell me?
Cryptic: Um. Yeah. Outside on the block.
Me: Why are you talking to cryptically? Are they out there?

Me: (rolling my eyes at this point) Ok, I’ll send an officer over to talk to you.
Cryptic: Ok, thank you.
