He was working in the Villi Fulus in Sinamale when he got a call from a girl wanting to talk to another cop. But since that particular cop was not available, he would have to do. She would not give her real name to him so he gave her one. He called her Rapunzel because she said she had very long hair. Over the next few weeks, he got to know Rapunzel pretty intimately over the phone. It was a boring duty with not much happening so he would always look forward to the calls. He learned her real name and also her address and he gave his as well and they were very much girlfriend and boyfriend even though they had never met in person or knew what the other looked like.
One day he was off duty and going on a ride with a close friend when they passed Rapunzel's house and he mentioned to the friend that he knew this girl living there. The friend replied that he knew the girl as well and proceeded to give details of her. It seems that she was a very popular girl and one thing that she had failed to mention was that she was also a midget. Now this came as quite a surprise to him as he had been planning on going over to her house to meet her in person. After receiving this new information he did not know what to do.
He decided not to take her calls anymore. It wasn't just that she was a midget (although that also played a factor in it) but she had professed her love to him in a gift that she had sent to his house which had scare him somewhat. The person who delivered the gift was a friend of his older brother and he did not like that crowd at all. Also he was about to leave to an island as part of his duty and he wanted to make a clean break as quickly as possible.
The day before he was to leave she called him and broke down in tears telling him that she did not want him to go. She said that if he did, he would forget her. After much consoling he finally got her to calm down and ended the call. That was the last time he ever talked to Rapunzel.
About a couple of years later he was promoted into a new section and he got quite a shock when he learned his new boss's address. It was the same address as Rapunzel's. After talking to his colleague about this he learnt that Rapunzel was the boss's younger sister! He was real glad then that he had never gone to her house or even tried to get into a real relationship with her.
