After asking the policeman if he could use his phone, the officer smiled at him and handed Roland his cell phone, telling him he could use while he left to go talk to the doctor for a moment. Once he had a hold of the cell phone, he decided to dial the number that would call the house phone of his house so that he could inform Steven and his parents that he was headed to the house by a police escort, this way when he got there they wouldn’t be all worried and questioned assuming something terrible has happened with him. 

Once he dialed the house number, he let the phone ring a couple of times, waiting on an answer. Instead of hearing a third ring, he heard Steven’s voice. [i]“Noonan’s Morgue,”[/i] said Steven on the other line, making a joke.

[i]“Hey, Steven,”[/i] said Roland, [i]“Can you hear me?”[/i] 

[i]“What? Roland? Hey man, where in the world did you disappear to?”[/i] replied a puzzled Steven, [i]“And whose phone are you using?”[/i]

[i]“Well….”[/i] said Roland, with a chuckle due to his friend not knowing of the whereabouts or situation Roland had gotten himself into, [i]“I need to explain myself I know, but long story short, I’m headed that way with the police.”[/i]

[b][i]“WHAT!?”[/i][/b] said Steven,[i] “The police? What happened?!”[/i]

[i]“I’ll tell you when I get there, and no I’m not in trouble. I have to go, so I’ll see you when I get there,”[/i] stated Roland as he hit the end button to hand up the cell phone given to him.

After the short conversation, the police officer walked back up to the boy and asked him if he was ready to leave, so Roland replied with an answer, also handing him his cell phone back as well. [i]“Yes, sir. Ready when you are.”[/i]
