"One thirty-three," the radio had said. They were car thirty- three in the First District. Since Figueroa was driving, Bennis picked up and said, "Thirty-three."

"Woman screaming for help at eight-one-seven west on Chestnut."

"You got a floor on that, squad?"

"On the two."

"Caller give a name?"

"Oh, yeah. Citizen. Concerned citizen."

"I know the guy well."

"Gal."

"Whatever."
Because of the snow, all the usual city sounds around them were muffled. In fact, there were virtually no automobile noises, and they heard the dispatcher more clearly than usual. No need to repeat. Bennis said, "Ten-four."

The snow had filled the streets and was still coming down. Figueroa said, "Jeez, Bennis. It's not the traction that's a problem. It's all the abandoned cars."

"You can get around 'em here if you drive on the sidewalk."

"Right."

"Don't clip the fire hydrant."
