Ronnie and Bix Ramstead’s ten-hour duty tour—excluding the half hour for a meal break referred to as code 7—was to end at eight that evening. But when Ronnie signed out, Bix still hadn’t returned. She’d called him on his cell twice but couldn’t reach him. She was so worried that she was about to mention it to the sergeant prior to his leaving for a meeting with the Graffiti Committee. Then her cell rang.

“It’s me,” Bix said when she answered.

“I was getting concerned,” she said.

“Sorry,” he said. “I got tied up.”

Ronnie thought she detected a slight slurring of speech but hoped she was wrong. She said, “You coming in now?”

Bix said, “Check me out, will you? I’ll be back later to turn the car in.”

Now she was sure of it. She said, “Why don’t I come where you are? We could get a bite to eat.”

“No, I’m gonna grab a burger with a cop I know from my North Hollywood days. Just check me out. I’ll be back soon.”

And that’s how it was left. If it had been anyone other than Bix Ramstead, Ronnie Sinclair, being so new to the Community Relations Office, would not have complied. She thought about talking to one of the other Crows about it, but she did not. Ronnie liked Bix as much as any cop she’d ever known at Hollywood Station. She was feeling very nervous and worried when she checked out both Bix and herself that evening. Ronnie knew she’d have a restless night, worrying about the possibility of Bix Ramstead and his LAPD car getting involved in a DUI collision.
