HELLO
Hi this is Sargent Moss from the County detention center. Is this Sean?
After a few moments he returns.

I hear a pause on the line, it goes quiet for a few seconds.
No sir I sure don't, I live in the next city over.
Do you reside at 1234 X X Lane?
Is your number (xxx) xxx-xxxx??
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.
Yes sir it is.
Do what? Officer, I'm sorry I have no kids of my own, and I don't know anybody by that name.
Whew, not in trouble!! But someone named Sean with a similar number is apparently about to have a rather bad day.
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.

Long pause, OK. (Inaudible talking). Could you hang on for just a sec?
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.
