Hi, this is Tina calling again about Pete Thomason.
Are you who I talked to?
No, actually, did you just call EOC?
No, I called the police department before and I talked to someone
who was just matching a police officer to go over to his apartment
and I was going to get Pete on the phone and keep him on until they came
and I heard them knocking and he's hard of hearing and he hung up on me
