The Promise
My friend and I promised each other to meet right here on this very day, no matter what conditions it might be. I know it sounds strange for you...
Bob proceeds talking about him and his best friend.
The Wait
The police officer meets Bob on a dark windy business avenue of New York, leaning on the dark doorway of a hardware store.
After the wait...
After some time, A man with a long overcoat approaches Bob.
Oh, is that you Bob?
As their small talks continues, Bob told the police officer about their promise.
Duties over Friendship
Bob, the man from the west is under arrest .
'Silky' Bob, you are under arrest for doing things against the law...
The man who travels a thousand miles for the appointment with his friend smokes a cigar and waited.
The Letter
Bob , I was on the appointed place on time. When you struck the match to light your cigar, I saw it was the face of a man wanted in Chicago. Somehow, I can not bring myself to arrest you, so I asked a plainclothes man to do the job.Jimmy
After 20 minutes of waiting, Bob and his friend Jimmy Wells finally meet. The two of them had a little chat. Little did he know, It is not his friend Jimmy Wells as they walked upon the lights.
Is that you Jimmy Wells?
As we found the truth that 'Silky' Bob is a Criminal, the real Jimmy Wells is the policeman man a while a ago. Bob is not aware that he was already talking with his friend.
The officer gave Bob a letter--a letter from his policeman friend Jimmy Wells.
Jimmy couldn't find the courage to arrest his friend on his own, but as a police officer he still did his job to arrest the wanted criminal, he doesn't let the situation slide.
