The Lion's Game
“When someone meets you in the lobby of your workplace, it’s either an honor, or you’re in trouble. Mr. Roberts was not smiling, and this was my first clue that we were not going to receive letters of commendation.
We got on the elevator, and Roberts used his key for the twenty-eighth floor. We rode up in silence.
Twenty-six Federal Plaza is home to various government agencies, most of them no more than innocuous tax eaters. But floors twenty-two through twenty-eight are not innocuous and are ac...cessible only by key. I was given a key when I started this job, and the guy who gave it to me said, “I’d like to get the thumbprint pad here. You can forget your key, or lose it, but you can’t forget or lose your thumb.” Actually, you can lose your thumb.
My work floor was twenty-six where I had a piece of a cube farm, along with other ex-NYPD and active-duty NYPD. Also on the twenty-sixth floor were a few suits, as cops referred to the FBI. This is a bit of a misnomer, since many of the NYPD types wear suits, and about a third of the FBI types are female and don’t wear suits.MoreLess
