I need a new hobby.
I got a voicemail from a vendor who claimed that my boss had told him I was a good contact to speak with about a job function about as far away from my actual responsibility as you can get.
So I called him. "When did you speak to <Boss' name>.?"
"Oh, a few days ago."
"Hold please". Transfer the call from my phone to a lab phone, to a coworker's phone and back to mine (Lots of clicks he hears).
I pick it up - new accent "COLD CASE, agent Pendleton. I hear you have information on the whereabouts of <Boss' name>?"
Boy did he squirm.
I finally got him to admit he got my number off my boss' out of office last week, and he never actually talked with her (shocking, I know), but I hammered him anyway. Got all kinds of info out of him. I finally said "okay, you seem to be sincere in the notion that you do not know her current wherabouts, but just to be safe we will be watching you. And if you hear from her, call us at <payphone in Ft Meade>"
And before you ask, my boss was sitting here, laughing her ass off. She calls these things my "brain exercises".
And when (if) he tries to call her again, she plans to drill him on who told him she was missing. What did they sound like, did they give him their name, etc. Just to make sure he was paying attention.
