Whenever I get in touch with the police I always feel very good. It comforts me to walk into a restaurant and see a pair of cops eating there. I am always relieved to see police arrive when there is any sign of trouble. These are two occasions when something illegal either was happening or the crime had already happened. The policeman in the first story drew his gun and I thought there was going to be gunfire. I thought the man being arrested was going to have a weapon and I was going to be in the line of fire. Luckily, that was not the case. It was dramatic the way it unfolded and I hope the way the drama comes through in my encounter. The other case, I was almost sure there was evidence that something illegal was going on. Representatives of both transactions were there and twenty to thirty $100 bills were counted out in front of me and I was wondering what was going to happen there.  The music I chose is The String Quartet #2, Good Friday, because of the dramatic qualities and its use of the 12-note chord.
