Who Ya Gonna Call?

Becca looked out the window, watching Paul and Sassy go at it like dogs in the hydrangea bushes. It was only a matter of time before someone dialed 911. She closed the blinds as the weight of the world came crashing down on her shoulders.

The worst thing was there was nobody she could call. The person she usually talked to in times of crisis was presently occupied and with the enemy of all people.

What about Karl? She stared at his business card for an eternity. And picked up the phone.

“911 emergency. How can I help you?”

“A couple of punks are screwing in my bushes.”

“Okay ma’am. I’ll send a squad car right over. What’s the address?”

“University Apartments, they’re doing the nasty right outside of 115.

The dispatcher laughed.

“What’s so funny?” Becca asked, not amused.

“I’m sorry,” the dispatcher said. “I thought you said they were screwing with your bushes, not in your bushes.”

Truth be told, Becca felt a little guilty calling 911 on them, but not guilty enough to lose any sleep.

    You know, I’m starting to think Becca might be the vindictive bitch in the equation after all, even more so than Sassy. That’s just cold, calling 911 on them.

    This is becoming like a 3 card monte game of find the real sassy.
    This story has become so that at one point I expected Baron Münchhausen to fly over on a cannon ball.

    [modifed comment] This is becoming like a 3 card monte game of find the real sassy.
    This story has become so topsy turvey that at one point I expected Baron Münchhausen to fly over on a cannon ball.

    Jealousy rears its ugly head. The only people who tattle are those who are jealous they were not invited to play.
    You guys have some great characters here. I’m a little overwhelmed at the prospect of going back to the beginning, but I may just have to give it a shot one evening.

    You’ve got mad sequel!
    (Disclaimer: I am on some heavy cold meds so I’m just warning you, it might get a little crazy.)
