An Answer He Didn’t Want To Hear
Realizing that time was of the essence, Dave recognized that he couldn’t rely on others for immediate assistance. He took the initiative and contacted a towing company owner whom he knew, explaining the urgent situation at hand. He hoped that the towing company possessed the necessary tools and equipment to lift the heavy drain cover and unveil the mystery concealed below.
However, the towing company owner suggested involving the police in the matter. Dave felt somewhat uneasy about this suggestion. He knew that involving the authorities would entail a lengthy process and could potentially result in fines or penalties. He needed a valid and compelling reason to justify requesting emergency services. He couldn’t risk facing penalties if, in the end, there was nothing significant found within the storm drain.
