TO: Ray
M: Frase
CALLED
RE: Dief

Real sorry about Dief. How much $ to fix? In mtgs w/ bulging ambssdr all day.

-Francesca

Detective Vecchio wished me to forward the following two (2) inquiries, firstly "Dief or carpet?" and second "Belgium or Bulgaria?"

He also wished to inform you that he will be away from his desk a great deal due to some bucolic bulls (I may have misheard, but was unable to question Det. Vecchio as he had already disconnected).

-Constable Renfield Turnbull

Fraser called. He gets that you're upset and he's real sorry. The wolf's real sorry too -- Fraser won't bring him to your place anymore. He's off donuts.(1) He(2) wants you to reconsider, it won't happen again.

-Jack
(1) The wolf (2)Fraser

He said something about waffles, too.
Also, when you're back from HR the Lieu. wants you.

Detective Vecchio was confused by your most recent phone message and would like clarification as to "[w]hat ... [you were] talking about".

-Constable Renfield Turnbull

Dief v. sorry. Frase v. sorry. No more pumpkn donuts. How much $?

-F.V.

Forget carpet; mad not abt carpet but timing. What waffles? Get a newspaper for the ambassador. There should be a place in Evanston.

-Insp. MT

I'm afraid I don't understand the question about waffles. Also, what sort of newspaper would the Ambassador like?

-Benton Fraser

Waffles --> detective.
Something from Belgium!

-MT

The Constable had a question about timing, and another about waffles.

Also, if you can tear the time away from the waffles, I need that form.

-Welsh

-Constable Renfield Turnbull

"What timing? What waffles?"

This isn't my job, Ray. Why don't we have voice mail?

-Elaine

Detective Vecchio called to reply to your most recent message. He wished me to convey that you were the first to mention waffles and that he is quite confused as to why you might wish to discuss "breakfast pasties."

He also wished to clarify his most recent message in that (cont.)

-Constable Renfield Turnbull

(Continued from previous message) he was under the impression you had been intending to convey information about water rescue techniques prior to the incident. (I offered to answer his questions, but he seemed adamant about speaking with you. Please assure the detective that I am well-trained in water safety.)

-Constable Renfield Turnbull

F says: you were looking forward to lesson?

I thought you didn't like school. If it's something I can help him with, let me know. And stop getting me in trouble with Elaine for taking a small break, okay?

-Francesca

"Very much so, yes."
Don't let Turnbull talk to ambassador!!!

-Insp. MT

Many rescue methods to demon. Tonite conven.? (Vecchio, have you considered getting a life? Seriously.)

-Dewey

Il a dit: "Leave deef home."
