: Re: What's the best way to add a break in conversation? In my book, I have someone calling 911 to report something, then I want a police officer informing the chief they got another report about

Use an ellipsis to imply that the call to 911 is really continued, then just pick up the new conversation with a short statement to indicate the change of scene.

Joe calls 911, "A dinosaur just crushed my car. I barely got out alive..."

At the station, "Chief, we just got another report of a dinosaur, this time in Midland!"
