HEAVY BREATHING

A young woman from Cologne, Germany, was babysitting for a wealthy family one Friday night. She had just put the two-year-old son to bed upstairs when the phone rang. The woman answered the phone to hear a man breathing heavily. She slammed down the phone, but the phone rang again. A man on the phone told the young woman what he was going to do to the child, asleep in his bed, and then how he was going to kill her. The young woman, realising the man must be watching the house if he knew about the child, hung up the phone and immediately rang the police and explained what had happened. The police told her to stay calm and make sure that all the windows and doors were locked and that they would send a police car to the house and also trace the phone calls. After she put the phone down, she secured all the doors and windows, when die phone rang again. The young woman answered and it was the man again, repeating what he said before, but with more elaboration. Suddenly, the policeman interrupted and shouted down the phone, "Get out of there. He's on the extension upstairs." But it was too late.
