Close Call

So, the DeKalb County police just left the house and um, yeah, well no one went to jail. How can I sum this up in as few words as possible? Basically, my bff and I were play-fighting in her room. She was trying to push me off of her bed and I was trying to stay on the bed. In an attempt to get me off the bed, she said she was going to call the police. About 3 minutes later she picked up the house phone and dialed 911. As she was dialing I laughed and told her that wasn't a good idea. I guess she pressed the talk button (even though I didn't see that part) and then hung up. I told her that if she called them, they were going to call back.

Sure as day, they called back. Twice actually. Well, the second time they called, I told her to just answer the phone and tell them something like "my kids were playing with the phone" or something of that nature. She was like, "at 3 a.m.?" Good point. But saying that was better than not answering because they always show up when they get no response. I told her they were going to come to the house. And sure enough, 15 min. there was a knock on the door.

They knocked for almost 5 min., then as I was heading to the tenants room to alert them of the situation (which, before the tenants answered their room door, they turned on their room light) the doorbell rang. I told the tenants what was going on and they made a bee line to the garage. I told bff that the tenants had turned on the light (which faces the street) and she told me to go in the room and pretend that I was sleeping. So, I did. But I knew, from experience, that they weren't going to give up that easily.

They eventually wanted to see me. They asked us if there was a man in the house. Well, bff said "no" so I had to say "no" as well. I didn't know why she lied about that until the officer said, "Are you sure? Because the operator said that when she called back, a man answered the phone and said that everything was fine and there was no emergency." Oh, that's what happened. That's why they didn't believe her and didn't want to leave.

The officers, 2 females by-the-way (one in late 20s early 30s and the other early to mid-40s), finally said they would leave. I left and went to the rest room for the last 3 minutes of their visit and when I came out, bff was telling the male tenant that he shouldn't have answered the phone. He said he didn't know who it was, even though the caller ID clearly stated who it was. Gots ta be mo' careful. I'm going to bed now.
