> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Gary T \* > \*\*When people call to have money wired to them, there’s usually a sense of urgency and despair involved. When they call maybe sounding kinda funny and don’t say where they are and don’t call back like they said, it suggests the call was made under duress. One possibility is duress caused by a jerk standing next to them with a loaded pistol. > > This could be a relatively benign situation, but I sure see lots of red flags. \*\* **GaryT** , I agree–and that’s why Friend called the office–but at this point we have some indication that this mess is of her own making. Not that this means everything’s kosher, but given the probability that she was not snatched against her will by some creepy guy who popped out of a dark alley, I wonder if she’s going to fall a few notches on (or possibly _off of_) the detective’s list of priorities. At any rate, given what must be a completely whack state of mind on MC’s part to do this, I definitely would NOT call it a benign situation, even if she is not physically harmed. ---

Just doin’ my job, **Auntie Em**. May I suggest that this become an art filme. In which case, Christopher Walken plays all the creepy roles. This way, we the audience, can come out of the theater and scratch our heads in mass confusion: **Bad News Baboon** : “OK, now, was that last guy supposed to be Christopher Walken the Trucker guy or Christopher Walken the Meter guy?” **Dolores Claiborne** :“no, no, no! That was Christopher Walken the Detective” **Watcher of the Skies** : “You are so full of it! It was Christopher Walken, the meter guy!” etc… ---

Another lurker checking in! I’ve been following along since the start of the first thread and am completely addicted.

Hey. Hey! **HEY!** I most definitely look nothing like a permanently orange man (Georgie-Poo), or a weenie country singer. Although your intentions are good, I feel that you’ve completely missed out in pegging my inner and outer beauty. Truthfully, I can only think of three people who could accurately portray me, **auntie em** ’s faithful love and sidekick. Please choose at least [one.](http://www.angelfire.com/va/1966Batman/images/trio.jpg) ---

Relax, Skip Magic. I can’t stand country music. But I think Alan Jackson is absolutely gorgeous. No insult intended. I don’t think you’re a weenie. Just that you’re blond with great shoulders. ---
