Scare in the Night
We had something crazy happen to us last night. Scott and I were in bed getting ready to go to sleep when my phone rang. It was 11:30 pm so I rushed to answer it thinking it was an emergency. The caller ID said that it was the front gate so I picked it up and a lady answered. She said that she was here to deliver a package for scott and Erica Magdalein. I laughed and said, “Lady, you do realize that it is 11:30 at night?!” She apologized and said that she got lost (was she lost for 5 hours?) I asked her who she was with and I think she said Baxter Services. Scott then grabs the phone from me and informs her that we were not letting her in, but if she happened to get in could she leave the package on the front porch? She replies, “Now that I know you are both home…” Then she hangs up!
We started freaking out thinking someone was here to murder us and wanted to make sure we were home. Or she was calling random condo numbers to see if people were home in order to rob them. She didn’t call back after that, but the whole time we were on edge. Every time we heard a car drive by Scott would jump out of bed and peak out the window.
Fifteen minutes later around 11:45 our door bell rings! I started freaking out while Scott leaped out of bed, ran to the kitchen, and grabbed a butcher knife. He went down stairs in his boxers, cracked the door, stuck the knife out and asked if she was alone. She says, “Yes, I just need to give you these papers.” The crazy woman was delivering suponeas! Scott talked to her for a while and he started to feel bad for her because she was having such a bad day. He learned that she still had to go to 4 or 5 more houses! I don’t envy her because she had a long night ahead of her scaring people to death or ticking them off.
When we think about it now we laugh but at the time we were totally freaked out.
