"911, what's your emergency?" "There's an intruder in my house, and he has a gun." "Where are you located?" "32 Chestnut Street." "Okay, help is on the way. Can you tell me your name?" "Gillian Waters. Oh, god, please get here soon." "It's okay, Gillian, stay with me. I need to get more information. Do you live alone?" "No, I share the place with my best friend." "Are they there in the home with you now?" "No, she is out shopping, but she's due back any time now. I have to get out of here." "Gillian, I need you to stay where you are. There are officers headed your way at this very moment." "What if they find me?" "Where in the house are you, Gillian?" "I made it out of the house but had to crawl under the front porch before they saw me. I wasn't able to get away." "Okay, just stay there." "No, I need to make a run for it." "Ms. Waters, please, it is best to stay where you are till help arrives." "Oh, my god!" "What is it, Gillian?" "They are coming outside to look for me." "How many intruders do you see?" "There are three." "Are they armed?" "Yes, two of them have guns." "Just stay calm, Gillian." "Oh my god, I know him." "You know one of the intruders?." "Yes, Arnold Whipstitch." "How do you know him, Gillian?" "I dated him, and it didn't go well. Oh god, he's come to kill me because I told everyone he was lousy in bed." "Gillian, I need you to take a breath and stay calm. Officers are only a few minutes out." "Oh my god." "What is it, Gillian?" "The other guy, that's his brother." "Do you know his name?" "John, he's a highway patrolman. He's a cop. I really need to get out of here. Maybe I can make it out the side before they see me." "Gillian, please stay where you are. Help is just around the corner. Can you identify the third intruder?" "No, I've never seen him before. I knew Arnold was crazy, but I didn't think his brother had lost his marbles as well." "The police are just blocks away, Gillian. Can you hear the sirens?" "No, not yet. Oh my god. Oh my god, I think they heard me." "Gillian, stay calm." "No, no, stay away from me. Help someone, please help me." "Gillian. Gillian. Are you still there? Miss Water's."
