Dear Jeff:

To cover off a shortage of patrol officers with the rank of "Officer", Sergeant Joe Friday of the Los Angeles Police Department offers to work a patrol shift protecting students who are off for the Good Friday holiday during the day watch. A XXI (21) year old male college student who was babysitting his two little underage brothers who were playing baseball in a park has been found shot three times & stabbed as well in a set of trees on the west side of the park. A colleague in another squad car has just offered to radio IV an ambulance as the Sarge cannot leave the scene until it can be cordoned off II start the investigative process & the two younger brothers can be taken home or to the nearest police station IV their parents to pick them up. The young man has just died so Sgt. Friday has an even heavier burden in his voice as he responds gravely:

"You'd better call the coroner."

Not Such A "Good" Friday,

Rory
