Pip:

Did he notice you were there? That you were listening?

George:

Don’t think so. I don’t think he was aware of anything other than what was going on at the other end of the phone. He was sort of plugging his other ear so he could hear them better. He went quiet for a bit, like he was listening, still pacing. And he said: “I could call the police,” or something like that. I definitely remember him mentioning the police.

Pip:

Did he say it in a confrontational way, or like he was offering to help?

George:

I don’t know, it was hard to tell which. So then he was quiet for a while, listening again, seemed to grow more jittery. I remember him saying something about a child.
