[speaker001:] Doris, I'm glad you're home. I'm terrified. I don't know what to do!
[speaker002:] What is it? What happened?
[speaker001:] I think someone is stalking me.
[speaker002:] No, it can't be. Really? Who?
[speaker001:] I don't know. I saw him the first time Tuesday. He was at the cafe. I noticed he was looking at me a lot. Not just the usual looking, but staring.He just kept staring at me. He didn't stop.
[speaker002:] What did you do?
[speaker001:] I didn't do anything. Finally, he left.But then I saw him again today. Outside the shoe store. Near the cafe. I went into a CD store and pretended I was looking at CD's. But then he came in too.
[speaker002:] Did he leave when you left?
[speaker001:] Yes. Then I noticed he was on the sidewalk behind me. He was following me.
[speaker002:] What did you do?
[speaker001:] He followed me all the way home!
[speaker002:] That's about five blocks. And around corners too.So he was definitely following you.
[speaker001:] Yes, he was. I'm not imagining it.Finally, just when I got home, I turned around and looked at him.He was just standing there. He didn't smile. He just stood there. It was so obvious.What should I do? I'm so scared. Can I call the police?
[speaker002:] Actually, I don't think you can call the police. Not yet at least.He hasn't done anything. And probably the police will just ignore it.But if anything happens again, then maybe you should call.
[speaker001:] Why can't I call the police now? He was definitely following me!
[speaker002:] Of course you can call the police if you want. That's not what I mean. I'm just saying that they probably won't do anything.
[speaker001:] I suppose. What can they do? I don't even know who he is.
[speaker002:] Listen, Carol. Don't let this bother you too much.Probably it's nothing. Just keep your eyes open when you go out.If you see him a third time, and if he follows you again, then I think we should go to the police.But for now, just try not to worry.
[speaker001:] Alright. And I won't go to that cafe for awhile.
