At the police headquarters of an eastern metropolis, Horus Riker, a patrol officer for the State Prison Commission, is seated at his desk, which, at the moment, is completely covered with gift packages. As Horus, a small, mild-mannered man in his late 40s, starts to open some of the gifts, there's a knock at his office door. Horus says "Come in. Oh, hello, Captain". The Captain says "Hello, Horus. Well, I see none of the boys forgot you. Twenty five years with the State Prison Commission. That's a long time". Horus says "Yes. I never knew I had so many friends. Well, look at all these gifts". Captain says "Well, here's another one, Horus. This is from me and the other boys in the homicide squad". Horus says "Oh, I don't know how to thank you and the others, Captain. You've all been so kind". Captain says "Ah, nonsense, Horus. You know how we all feel about you". Horus says "I'm really a very lucky man, Captain. I have a job I like, fine friends, and a wonderful wife". Captain asks "So, you and Millie are hitting it off okay, huh?" Horus says "Of course. I told you it would work out all right, even if I am twenty years older than Millie". The Captain says "Well, I'm glad to hear I was wrong. Here, let me help you open your gifts". Horus says "Thanks Captain" The Captain says "Looks as though half these gifts are boxes of cigars. I'm afraid you'll have to take up smoking, Horus" He says "I guess you're right. Well, this present doesn't seem to be cigars. It sounds like a clock". Captain says "A clock?". Horus says "Yes, I can hear ticking inside. There doesn't seem to be a card with it. Well, I'll unwrap it. The card is probably inside". Captain says "Wait just a minute. Let me see that package. Yes, there's a ticking inside, alright. It has cheap wrapping paper, no store label or return address. Why should anyone send you a wound up clock?" Horus says "Well, maybe they just wound it up to make sure it works". The Captain says "I don't like the looks of this". He picks up the phone and says "Mac? This is Captain Ross calling from Riker's office. Get the bomb disposal squad over here on the double. It's an emergency!"
