Title :The Call
The Call
It all started with a joke between some friends of mine on Friday night at my house.
(space here)At the time, we were discussing about how the FBI worked,
(space here)when Jack came up with the idea of making a prank call to the FBI.
Although Steve warned us about it,
(space here)I made the call myself.
(space here)I picked up the phone, dialed the number and soon it was
calling ringing. As soon as somebody picked up, I started threatening them that I was planning to
bomber bomb their headquarter
s.
(space here)Immediately after they
hanged hung up we
bursted burst out laughing.
At the end of the day, I was preparing to go to bed when I heard some noise outside.
(space here) It sounded like quick footsteps on the
porche porch.
(space here) And yet it seemed that nobody was out there.
All of a sudden,
(space here)I heard the entrance door being banged
upon.
(space here)Before I could do anything, a dozen
of men in black
bursted burst into my room,
(space here) aimed
at me with guns, and yelled “FBI.
(space here)Put your hands up”
I had to explain everything to them.
(space here)Certainly, If I had know what was going to happen, I would never have made that phone call.
