SUMMARY
In the beginning of the story, a cop was shown walking on the street without
minding the people around him. It was about ten o’clock in a cold night and the
wind was mixed with tiny drops of rain. While the cop was walking past the
different establishments, he saw a man standing near a darkened shop, and
walked towards him. But before the cop was able to say a word, the man told
him that he was just waiting for a friend named Jimmy Wells. He said that he and
his friend Jimmy has promised to meet at the same spot twenty years ago, that
they were really close friends but have parted ways when they were ages 18 and
20. The man told the cop about his life in the West and how successful he had
become.
The cop was really interested about the stories of the man and asked if his
friend didn’t come on time, would he still wait for him. The man answered that he
would still wait for his friend for another half an hour. Three minutes before ten, the
cop had to leave and the man was again left waiting for his friend.
About twenty minutes he waited, and then a tall man in a long coat came
hurrying across the street. The tall man greeted him by his name who turned to be
Bob, and Bob perceived hin to be his friend Jimmy. The two exchanged
conversation about their lives in the past twenty years, a lot has definitely
changed between the two even the restaurant they used to eat together that
served as their meeting place.
But as they walk in a bright pavement, Bob notices that the man he was
talking to was not actually his friend Jimmy. The tall man then admits that he was
not truly Jimmy but a police officer. He also said that Bob was under arrest, and
gave him a letter. Bob read the letter that contained these words: “Bob, I was at
the place on time. I saw the face of the man wanted by Chicago cops. I didn’t
want to arrest you myself. So I went and got another cop and sent him to do the
job JIMMY.”
Turns out that the first cop he talked to a while ago was actually his long
lost friend, Jimmy.
