If I change what I'm wearing,

Calm down, OK? I can talk

to the police officer from here using that,

I can tell her that everything's fine,

Then she'll go, and then you can go,

Hello?

Afternoon. This is Officer Flores

with the Bristo Camino Police Department.

We're answering a silent alarm,

Is everything OK in there?

I'm sorry. We must have

accidentally tripped the alarm.

I understand, sir,

These things happen all the time,

But there's an abandoned

pickup truck on your street,

Have you seen who it might belong to?

Oh, no, it's not abandoned. There's

a guy here fixing the air conditioning.

I'm sure everything's OK,

Could you come outside, please?

- Say something,

- Officer, my son's got a fever,

I've got the pediatrician on hold. Do you

really need me to come down there?

- 15, please respond.

- Bristo base, this is 15, Come back,

Carol, be advised

there's a felony want on that red pickup.

The vehicle's suspected of being involved
