Not sure exactly how, but it did... and they sent back a 'is everything okay' type fax... and of course, nobody paid attention to it, and it was removed from the fax machine and put on a counter.
So I get a call from the police asking if there was an emergency.
Me:Me
Pop:Police on phone
Me: No, no emergency
Pop:We recieved a fax for you and sent a reply
Me *checks fax machine, nothing. Looks in recycling bin for anything that looks like its from Police* Nothing here, sorry.
Pop: Okay, stay on the line for me. How many people arein the building?
Me:*glance about* About twelve, including staff and customers.
Pop:Okay, police are on their way. Stay on the line please.
Me:Okay...
Now, I am reception. I give people their fixed computers, make change, adn answer phones. I get one of the sales guys to go do the 'get computer from shelf', and I manage to hold the phone to my ear while I took calls on the other ear.
PoP: You're good at multitasking. You should work here!
Me: Aww, thanks, but I tend to freeze up when there's an emergency.
So the police arrive in 15 minutes (They weren't running 'hot' because there's no 'urgent' emergency), and come in.
Me: Okay, they're here!
Pop:Are they in front of you?
Me:*lookig up at smiling officers, trying not to go into Idol Worship Mode* Yes, they're smiling at me!
Pop: okay. can I talk to one fo them please?
By then, the MoD has noticed and comes over to ask me jokingly "Anne! What did you do now?!?" And I explain. We have a good laugh, police depart, everyone happy.
Sales Guy: *to the police as they walk out * You guys dont need a computer mouse or keyboard do you?!? *he was joking, yes*
