Dispatcher: 2512, what have we got here? We’ve got, oh man, is this thing long! Oh God, I wish you had a computer. It’s a suspicious person–like, some of these jobs don’t say nothing, this one says too much. 7— Grand, they’re callin’ from Goodwill over there. OK, it’s Ms. —-, some man is following her and insists she get into his car–small red car with male, older, with heavy tank top. He has an accent, wearing a hat, also a tattoo on his arm. He is telling her to lift her skirt so he can see her body because he will pay good money for it and all kinds of dirty things. She is hiding in the Goodwill store until the police get there. All right? See her at the Goodwill, and if you see a guy in a small red car, he is the guy.
2512: Sounds like one of the guys from the midnight watch.
Dispatcher: What’s a heavy tank top?
