Looks at phone, sees a number local to me, so I answered.
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.
After a few moments he returns.

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?

Do all rocket engines emit harmful gases into the atmosphere during launch?
Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.
Yes sir it is.
I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.

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.
Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?
Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?
No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.
Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?
Sure no problem officer.
Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.
