Answer:
When Debbie answers the phone she is warned not to talk anything about the robbery.
So she uses the mute button cleverly so that her husband gets the desired message.
She plays with the mute button as she speaks and her husband actually hears only 3 words.
“Emergency – call – help”
So the husband gets the message and calls the police.
