Here’s a unique rewrite of the text you provided:
The manager was baffled when one of his top employees unexpectedly missed work without calling in sick. Needing to address a critical issue with a key computer system, he dialed the employee’s home number. To his surprise, a small voice answered with a simple «Hello?»
«Is your father there?» the boss asked.
«Yes,» came the quiet reply.
«Could I speak with him?»
«No,» the child whispered.
Puzzled and eager to reach an adult, the boss tried again. «Is your mother around?»
«Yes,» the little voice answered softly.
«Can I talk to her?»
Once more, the child responded with a gentle, «No.»
Growing increasingly curious, the boss asked, «Is there anyone else I can talk to?»
«Yes,» the child whispered again. «A policeman.»
The boss was now thoroughly perplexed. What could a policeman possibly be doing at his employee’s house?
«Can I speak with the policeman, then?»
«No, he’s busy,» the child responded in a hushed tone.
«Busy doing what?»
«Talking to Daddy, Mommy, and the fireman,» the child replied, still whispering.
Now worried, the boss heard a strange sound in the background and pressed on. «What’s that noise?»
«A helicopter,» the voice answered.
«What’s happening over there?» the boss asked, now fully alarmed.
The child responded softly, «The search team just landed a helicopter.»
With growing concern, the boss asked, «What are they searching for?»
Giggling quietly, the child finally revealed, «Me.»
