Peg Jones was busy trying to close a very lucretive home sale when the phone rang. “Damn, it would have to ring when the secretary’s out,” she said to herself. “Jones Realty, Mrs. Jones speaking. May I help you?” “Good afternoon, Mrs. Jones. This is Ms. Ames, the Principal at Springville Middle School. Would it be possible for you to come down to the school this afternoon.” “Has something happened to Mike?” “No, as far as I know, he’s fine and should be on the way home. I need to talk to you about him, though. It’s important.” “I’m tied up in the office right now. The secretary should be back in about 20 minutes. Could I meet you when she returns?” “If you would, please. I’ll see you then.” “What’s the matter with Mike and school?” she wondered. The call bothered her until her secretary returned and she noticed she had not completed the paperwork on the house. “Sarah, could you finish the contract on this. It needs to be ready for the first thing in the morning. I’ve got a meeting and will be gone for the rest of the afternoon. Thanks. See you in the morning.”
