To get from the library to the ballroom because they heard the butler might have done it with the candlestick.

Answer 4

well you have to know your area you work in. driving on a sunday with the family is a whole nother world when you are running code 3 and your buddy on your shift is screaming into the radio for help and when citizens see lights they lock up and you never know what they are going to do.
