KIDNEY HARVEST
The legend begins when a business traveler goes to a lounge for a drink at the end
of the work day. A person in the bar walks up as they sit alone and offers to buy
them a drink. The last thing the traveler remembers until they wake up in a hotel
room bath tub, their body submerged to their neck in ice, is sipping that drink.
There is a note taped to the wall instructing them not to move and to call 911. A
phone is on a small table next to the bathtub for them to call. The business traveler
calls 911 who have become quite familiar with this crime. The business traveler is
instructed by the 911 operator to very slowly and carefully reach behind them and
feel if there is a tube protruding from their lower back. The business traveler finds
the tube and answers, "Yes." The 911 operator tells them to remain still, having
already sent paramedics to help. The operator knows that both of the business
traveler's kidneys have been harvested.
