contacting Mr. Thompson
Robert picked up his phone and dialed the number he found for Mr. Thompson, the previous homeowner. After a few rings, a friendly voice answered.
“Hello?” Robert tried to keep his tone casual. “Hi, this is Robert, the new owner of your old house.
I wanted to ask you about a woman named Sarah. Did she work for you?” After a pause, Thompson confirmed, “Yes, she did.
Why do you ask?”
