Patricia didn’t object. Stemming back tears and telling the kids they were bound for another vacation, she boarded the next plane out of town.
Rob had already called ahead, telling his friend about everything that had happened. Cody, his navy seal buddy, was happy to watch over his family. “Call me if you need anything else,” he said before ending the call.
Safe And Sound

With his family safe and sound, Rob drove to the police station and informed them about the caller and their demands. He shook as he talked, hoping the caller compromised no one in the force.
The police asked about his family, to which he said they were safely away. He hoped whatever was happening would come to a swift end.
Tracing The Call

The police set to tracing the call. They jumped through many hoops, even asking the phone company to reveal the caller’s identity. But no valuable information came forth.
But unknown to them, the caller was already several steps ahead. They watched as Rob drove to the police station and reported everything. Retribution was at hand.
The Caller’s Back

Rob’s phone rang as he was leaving the police station. The caller was disappointed, reminding Rob they’d warned against contacting the police.
On the other hand, Rob was unfazed. He asked the caller to show himself. If they were as powerful as they claimed, why were they hiding behind a hidden caller ID and voice changer?
Tall Tale

Rob kept the caller talking. But inside the police station, the force was tracking the call. They narrowed it down to the caller’s location, quietly dispatching a SWAT team to flush them out.
Rob was still on the call when he heard a commotion. The SWAT team had already breached the caller’s residence, finding it was a local drug dealer the station was investigating. Although everything returned to normal for Rob and his family, he knew everyone in his life would undoubtedly label this as a tall tale.
