The elevator was undergoing maintenance, so Rydell ran down the stairs. The store was about to close and he needed to buy some things for dinner. Rydell put his hand to his nose when he bumped into a tall, burly man wearing a black overcoat. His head went a little dizzy, but he made out the brown eyes and detective badge pinned to his overcoat. Rydell opened his eyes a little, surprised that his new neighbor was a police officer.

Sorry. I was running, I didn't see you standing there.
