Prompt word: Hitch (changed to "hitched" here)
Note: I wasn't sure if we were allowed to use a different form of the prompt word or not, so I am submitting this one as an extra/bonus, to be on the safe side.
Scare Tactic

Then Sam had an idea.
"I'm going to the john," he said, as the waitress approached with fresh coffee.
He returned minutes later with his cell phone sandwiched in his hands and an urgent look on his face.
"Dean! It's that nurse from the job we had last month! Said she's two weeks late… and she wants to talk to you."
And just like that, the hiccups were gone.
