Night Beat - Number 13

It is night again in Chicago, and Randy Stone, Night Beat reporter for the Chicago Star, is on the city streets looking for a story. On this night, Randy found myself in a quiet section of the residential district. He wondered about the people living in the area. Who were they, and what were their problems? Randy kept walking. Soon, an older man bumps into Randy on the sidewalk. The old man says "I beg your pardon". Randy says "Oh, yes". The older man says " I hesitate to bother you, sir, but do you have a match?" Randy says "I have a lighter. Will that do? The older man says "Thank you". As Randy lights his cigarette and starts to walk away, the older man says "Oh, uh, just a moment". Randy asks "What's the matter, Pop?" He says "Please, put your hands up". Randy says "What?" The older man says "I'm not joking. I have a gun". Randy says "Oh, I see it. The old man says "I warn you. I'll shoot if you try anything" Randy says  Well, rule number one, when facing a stickup man who's obviously pulling his first job, be very careful". Old man says "It's not my first. Hand me your wallet". Randy says "What? With my hands in the air?" Old man says "Well, put them down. But remember what I said". Randy says "Sure. Why is a nice looking old man like you doing this?" Old man says "Stop talking and hand me your wallet". Randy says "Alright, here". Old man says " Now, turn around, face the wall, and don't try to follow me". Randy says "Pop, hand me the gun and tell me all about it". Old man says "Don't come toward me". Randy says "The gun, Pop. Hand it over. We'll have a talk. Maybe over a cup of coffee". Old man says "Stay away, I said". Randy gets closer, and the old man fires a shot!
