Does he have any weapons on him?
He took a knife and went in the bathroom, but he's not with the knife now.
Okay, he doesn't have the knife anymore?

Is he locked in the bathroom?
He's right here now.
Okay, what's his name?
Damien.
Last name?

I'm going to keep you on the phone with me.
Alright.
Just a minute.
Has he been physically violent?
No.
No?
Okay.

They want me to hold on the phone.
Yes, I do, please.
Damien, I'm on the phone.
They're on the phone.

Oh, gee darn it!
Hurry up!
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Ma'am?
Yeah.
Are you still there?

Okay.
Do you have any weapons yet?
No.
How old is he?
Patty, how old is he?
He's 14.
Be calm.
You just shut up.
You don't disrespect anybody.
Ma'am?
Ma'am?
You just don't talk to him.
And he might antagonize him and make it worse.
I don't want him to hurt anybody.
The cops said he wants you to leave.
No, no, no.
I don't want him to leave.
Oh.
No, I'd rather him stay there.
It's the lady.
Okay.
I'm not going to say.
Okay.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Thank you.
It's a little nice, aren't you?
Look what happened here!
Is he still there?
Is that him that I hear in the background?
Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Should I go try and use him in the bathroom?
Should I go get the knife out of there?
Does he have that in there?
Yeah.
Has he got the door shut?
No.
Will he give you the knife if you ask for it?
I'll get it.
Just ask for it.
Don't try and grab it.
I don't want anybody to be hurt.
If you can get it, that would be great.
I got it.
Okay.
Is he still inside?
Yeah.
Okay.
Tell me if he leaves or if anything happened.
Do you have someone at the city 37 to call?

He's leaving.
Can you try and keep him there?
Please mark down the door.
Okay.

No, he's gone.
He's come out in the hall and he's not over here.
Can you see out the door and see which way he went?

With the frog.
Okay.
And black jeans.
I can't see him.
Black jeans, black tennis shoes.

A 14-year-old male wearing a gray Budweiser t-shirt and black jeans.
Ma'am?
Yeah.
If he's not there any longer, I don't need to keep you in the light.
Okay.
But if he does come back or you see him, would you call me back?
All right.
Okay.
Thanks.
