Hi. I called before. My wife hasn't come home.
OPERATOR:
Yes. I remember. You want me to send an officer over?
ED:
Yes.
OPERATOR:
What's your address?
ED:
4523 East Street.
OPERATOR:
He should be there in a few minutes. OK?
ED:
Yes. Thank you.
OPERATOR:
You did the right thing, sir.
Ed hangs up. Almost instantly, he sees some lights pass by the window. He looks through the window and sees a police car pull up. He opens the door and watches the officer as he approaches the house.
OFFICER STEWART is a youngish patrolman. He is relaxed, caring and formal.
STEWART:
You called the police?
ED:
Yes. It was me. That was fast.
STEWART:
Thank you.
ED:
Come in.
Stewart is led a few steps into the living room. He looks around.
STEWART:
Your wife didn't come home? Is that right?
ED:
Yes.
STEWART:
When was the last time you saw her?
ED:
When she left for work this morning. She was supposed to come home after work. I cooked dinner.
STEWART:
And she made it to work, right?
ED:
Yes. I think so. I don't know.
STEWART:
What time does she usually come home? Around six?
ED:
Yes. Usually.
STEWART:
What does she look like?
ED:
She's blonde, straight hair.
STEWART:
What was she wearing? Do you remember?
ED:
I think it was a red sweater and a dress.
STEWART:
What kind of car does she drive?
ED:
A Volvo. Gray. '85, I think.
Stewart lets out a sigh of relief.
STEWART:
Well, you had me worried. There was a blonde woman involved with a car-jacking around six. Apparently she was hit on the head by one of the perpetrators and then wandered away from the incident in a daze. Nobody's seen her since. When I got the call on the radio, I thought that must have been your wife, but this woman was driving a Pathfinder and was wearing jeans, so it probably wasn't her. You had me worried.
ED:
She drove a Volvo. Drives a Volvo.
STEWART:
That's a relief. Do you know anywhere your wife might have gone?
ED:
I called the only place I could think of. And I called the hospital.
STEWART:
Harborview?
ED:
Yes.
Stewart takes a couple of pills from a bottle and takes them, chasing them down with a coffee he has with him.
STEWART:
I'm afraid there's not much I can do now. By law, we can't put out a missing persons until 72 hours has elapsed since the last time she was seen.
ED:
72 hours?
STEWART:
Usually in these cases, it was something stupid. Maybe she was upset about something, had to get away. Who knows? What I can do is take the license plate number of her car and if it shows up for some reason, we'll give you a call. Do you have your wife's license plate number?
ED:
Yes. Actually, it's easy to remember. 007 FEC.
STEWART:
James Bond.
ED:
Right. And FEC, For Every Child.
