It's Getting Hot in Here....

We have been staying at the Kope's house in Florida for a week and we've been having a great time. They have a beautiful house and a fantastic pool. However today was unforgettable for one specific reason. Tony was at a meeting with Chet and Janene was picking up Eli from surf camp, I was home getting stuff ready for dinner while my boys were taking a nap, (in essence I was home alone). While I was cutting up some raw chicken (gross) I saw a teenage boy outside on the patio, I knew Eli was bringing a friend home and assumed that it was him. After a little, I realized that Janene didn't come in and I didn't see Eli out there. I checked to see if their car was in the driveway and it wasn't so I went to the patio doors and was going to politely ask him what he was doing. When I got to the door I realized he was naked!! Ahahaahahahahah!!! And what was he doing?!?!?!? ahahahahah!!! This was unbelievable to me. How could someone go over to a stranger's house, take off all their clothes, and violate their their pool. I freaked out, after all I was home alone and I knew the door was unlocked. I called Chet and Janene and hid in the dinning room so he couldn't see me and more importantly I couldn't see him. I first talked to Chet and just didn't know what to do so he called the police, then I talked to Janene and it seemed to me that he might have some sort of special need issues. That made her think it was an autistic boy who lived down the street and she called her neighbor. Then the police called the house and I explained the situation. While on the phone I heard commotion outside and it seemed that his family had found him and were screaming at him. I was still hiding in the dinning room, I just don't have much experience with random naked men and I was afraid. Also I didn't know anything about the boy and his temperament and was unsure of how to handle the situation. I don't think I would have a problem if it was just an autistic boy swimming in the pool but it was a naked autistic boy in the pool and it was more then I could handle. I just wish Chet were here, he's made a living dealing with situations like this.
