Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?
No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.
I'm sorry to bother you, my staff just told me our guy corrected his information and had a number off for his home phone. Have a good day. Hangs up.
Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.
ATTENTION SPIKES UP. What could he want with me? Did I do something wrong? Lord did I forget to pay something? Questions start flying through my head. What would the detention center sheriff want with me?
Sure no problem officer.

I was trying to reach out to you because we have a Mr X here, who claims you are his legal guardian. He needs you to come down and sign some forms.
Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
After a few moments he returns.

Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?
Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.

HELLO
Yes sir it is.
Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?
Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.
