When Johnny is alone at the station filling in on the overnight shift, the station is robbed. It isn't until the rest of the staff arrives in the morning that they as a collective realize what has happened. After the initial shock with each staffer having a slightly different reaction, they all settle into a slight paranoia as they know the robbers stole the personnel files with names, addresses, salaries and working hours. Mr. Carlson wants everyone to act as normally as possible in not giving the robbers the satisfaction of affecting their day to day lives, which for Mr. Carlson means that everyone is to attend a media function that Herb has arranged on Friday night. But their paranoia may get the better of them, which is affected by the fact that Herb has purchased a gun he has left loaded in his desk drawer.
