Okay, here goes...
A girl was babysitting two kids. It was late, and already the kids had went to bed. The babysitter decided to watch some TV while waitng for the parents to come home.
She flipped it on and started watching the news. One of the reports caught her interest. Apparently, there was a murderer lurking around town killing babysitters and the kids while they were babysitting.
The girl started REALLY getting scared. She went upstairs and checked on the kids. Everything was fine. She went back down again, but the feeling wouldn't go away.
She called the police and told them about what she had seen on the news, and that she was really scared.
They told her, "All right, all right. Calm down a little. I'm sure eveything's okay."
She still felt really scared.
"Tell you what," they said, "Hang up the phone and try to stay calm. If you feel really scared again, call us. We'll be over in 10 minutes."
"Okay." Reluctantly, she hung up the phone.
5 minutes later, the police showed up. The girl came outside, freaked out and confused.
She went up the the officer.
"I thought you said you'd be here in 10 minutes..."
"We were, but after you hung up the phone, we heard a click."
