Listening to a Dialtone

The phone rang right in the middle of Glee. I jumped out of my chair and grabbed the receiver. There is a leak in the roof and they were going to try to fix it. I thought it was the builder telling me they couldn't fix it. Why would someone call when i am watching them perform New York? I snatch the phone and curtly say: "Hello?"
Nothing... then a dialtone. I look at the receiver as if it was a person and scowl. Then I smile a little as jsut yesterday I had a conversation with Carlos about him calling and hanging up before I can answer the phone. According to him he lets the phone ring a million times before he hangs up and I say it rings maximum of three times. So now I am thinking that it is him "teaching" me a lesson. I call him back. The phone rings and no answer. Now I am mad. I can't believe I am missing Glee for this. I pledge revenge, hang up and make myself comfortable once again.
Twenty minutes later, the phone rings again. Now, I will teach this fool a lesson. I grab that phone before it can ring twice. I don't even know I can move that fast. A long beep ... dialtone. Now this is getting weird. I call back and again no one answers. Carlos can be annoying but not in this way. I imagine him to call back chuckling about his "joke". But a dialtone again?
I turn back to the TV and watch with growing fear a commercial for Criminal Minds. This time you are really going to be afraid of the dark it says. They must be kidding. This time? I am always afraid of the dark after watching Criminal Minds.
Then I start to think about the phone. What if it is someone calling to see if I am home? Someone checking out their next victim? I look out the window. The lights are on so anyone looking up at my balcony can probably see me. I consider turning off the lights. But then I'll be sitting in the dark watching TV that is way too spooky. Wow, maybe I should call someone. If the place is bugged or someone is paying attention they can see me on the phone.
The phone rings again another couple of times in the next hour. Now I am getting annoyed. Of course I get annoyed after I checked the doors a few times. Should I call Carlos or not? Maybe he is the one who is going to come in here and kill me later. Thanks Jordan for putting that thought in my head. After you said he might be coming in the room and looking at my underwear drawer that is all I keep thinking about. I call him.
"What is going on with the phone?" I demand to know.
"Are you getting hang-upos as well?, he asks.
"Yes! What is going on?"
"I don't know", he replies, "but it is happening down here too. If it keeps happening just take the phone of the hook. In an emergency I have your mobile number so I can reach you."
I hang up semi-convinced that it is not him doing this.
Yet, before bed I still double-checked the doors and took the phone of the hook.No one is going to disturb my beauty sleep. But what if that is exactly what he wants? That way I can't really call for help.
Oh boy!
