Running on empty

I got current home from work, & I saw the Heating & Air Conditioning repair van standing in our driveway.

When I got out of the car, the repair van was running, however there was no 1 inside.

I hadn’t called the Heating & Air Conditioning corporation, & even if I had, why was the repair running & empty? I was almost afraid to go to the house, because what if the Heating & Air Conditioning repair van was a ruse & someone was inside our house? I went to the neighbor’s home & asked if the Heating & Air Conditioning serviceman was there? She said she wasn’t expecting an Heating & Air Conditioning serviceman, & I pointed out the window. She also thought it was weird & told me to stay there. Her wife would be current home shortly, & she could check it out. About half an hour later, the Heating & Air Conditioning repair was still in our driveway, & our neighbor’s wife was home. I told him what was going on, & she headed to the repair van. She pulled the door open, however there was no 1 inside. She was distraught there may be something wrong with the Heating & Air Conditioning serviceman, although she was AWOL. She went around to the backyard, & there she was lying on the ground. When she got closer, she saw something on the Heating & Air Conditioning serviceman’s chest. She could not believe it when she saw a rattlesnake quietly lying there just looking at the Heating & Air Conditioning serviceman. She grabbed a rake & swept the snake up & threw it into the field. The Heating & Air Conditioning serviceman was terrified. She realized she was at the wrong home when she got into the backyard. She turned & almost stepped on the snake, then stumbled & fell. She had been there, with the snake on her chest, for almost an hour.
