The Search

[TalonRider]

A boss wondered why one of his most valued

employees had not

phoned in sick one day. Having an urgent problem

with one of the main

computers, he dialed the employee's home phone

number and was greeted

with a child's whisper.

"Hello."

"Is your daddy home?" he asked.

"Yes," whispered the small voice.

May I talk with him?"

The child whispered, "No."

Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the

boss asked, "Is your Mommy there?"

"Yes."

"May I talk with her?"

Again the small voice whispered, "No."

Hoping there was somebody with whom he could

leave a message, the boss asked, "Is anybody else

there?"

"Yes," whispered the child, "a policeman"!;

Wondering what a cop would be doing at his

employee's home, the boss asked, "May I speak with

the policeman?"

"No, he's busy", whispered the child.

"Busy doing what?"

"Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman,"

came the whispered answer.

Growing more worried as he heard what sounded

like a helicopter through the earpiece on the phone,

the boss asked,

"What is that noise?"

"A helicopter" answered the whispering voice.

"What is going on there?" demanded the boss, now

truly apprehensive.

Again, whispering, the child answered, "The

search team just landed the helicopter."

Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the

boss asked, "What are they searching for?"

Still whispering, the young voice replied with a

muffled giggle:

"ME."
