It was Tuesday, November 15th, and raining in Los Angeles. Detective Sergeants Joe Friday and Ben Romero were officially off duty, but were reporting in on an emergency call by Chief of Detectives, Ed Bacstrand. It was 8:32 AM when Joe walked into the Spring Street entrance of the city hall. In the common area, Joe was met by an elevator operator. He asks "Are you Sergeant Friday?" Joe says "Yeah, that's right". The operator says "Take my elevator, Sergeant. It's the only one in service". They get in and start going up. The operator says "I'll run you up to the 16th. The Chief's waiting for you up there". Joe says "The place looks deserted. What's going on?" The operator says "All the office people been sent home. Lots of trouble". Joe asks "What is it?" The operator says "Here we are, the 16th floor". Ed says "Over here, Friday". Joe's partner, Ben, had previous arrived. He says "Hi, Joe". Joe says "Hello, Ben". Ed says "You made good time". Joe says "I came as soon as I got the call". Ed says "Sorry to bring you back in. You worked last night, didn't you?" Joe says "Yeah, midnight to 8 o'clock this morning". Ed says "Sorry. Come on". Ben asks "What is it, skipper? Why all the hush hush?" Ed says "Wait until we get inside". They all go into a room. Ed says "Number one, let's all keep our voices down. I'll make it as brief as I can. What time you got, Friday?" Joe says "8:33". Ed says "All right, here it is. Fifty five minutes ago, a man walked into this building with a homemade bomb under his arm".
