A Big Coincidence
Michael and Matthew kept talking to one another and learned more things about each other. The older man said he was not posted to the same town but a couple of cities away. Why was Michael so surprised to learn about this? Well, it turned out that it was the city where he was born and where his mother still lived. He could not believe the fact that this man was one of the officers who patrolled his hometown!
Speculations
When Matthew asked Michael how old he was, it did not seem right to ask someone older the same question. However, the young state trooper started to speculate about something after learning they came from the same place. He knew about several cops from there, although he had no way of telling if this was the same officer he had in mind. If he was right, Matthew might have rescued him in the past!
