Jane fell into an abusive relationship with her husband after he lost his job. Upon realizing her and her stepdaughter’s lives could be in jeopardy, she mustered up the courage to make a pizza call that would change their lives forever.
Denise worked as a 911 call center respondent. Her father was a police officer, and she’d always hoped she could follow in his footsteps, serving and protecting the community.
While she initially wanted a job in the force, she could never get through the academy’s physical training because of her disability. Denise had had her legs amputated a few years back after a car accident.
After that, she was certain her dream would never come to fruition. However, after her father convinced her to give the 911 call response team a shot, she finally found her place in the force.
Denise’s job was demanding and was definitely not for the faint-hearted. The issues she dealt with on a daily were rather traumatic. Nevertheless, Denise felt she was born to do this and loved every second of her job.
One day, Denise received an odd call at work.
In her line of business, she was used to receiving prank calls every other day. And initially, this particular circumstance seemed like exactly that. This wasn’t the first time someone called to order a pizza, but there was something different.
“Hi, my name is Jane.
C—could… Could I please get 2 pizzas as soon as possible? Please, I’m desperate!” Jane said in a frightened whisper.
“Sorry, ma’am, I believe you have the wrong number.
Goodbye,” Denise replied, about to cut.
“No! Please don’t cut the call!” Jane said desperately.
“Ma’am, if this is a prank, I promise you—” Denise started before Jane interrupted.
“No… I didn’t make a mistake.
This is the pizzeria, and I desperately need 2 pizzas from you,” Jane said. Denise heard the panic in her voice and her sniffles as if she’d been crying. She began to give the situation a second thought.
