Eleven fights. Four years. Three men in the ground and one girl in a room on Alvarado, all of it in his own handwriting, because it never once occurred to him that anybody was going to ask.  Captain Hocken asks how you kept the cover eleven days. You tell him the truth: a clerk in Sacramento processed a four-page form on a Monday morning, correctly, and never knew a thing about it, and will never be told.  Somewhere behind you Officer Al says something that gets a laugh from everybody. Everybody freezes, smiling, holding it — except Nordberg, who is at the top of the Alvarado stairs, and who nobody has gone back for."
