The story

After dropping off his two young sons at Catholic school, an unnamed NYPD police lieutenant snorts cocaine before driving to the scene of a double homicide in Union Square.

The next morning, the lieutenant learns that he has lost a bet on a National League Championship Series baseball game between the New York Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The lieutenant lies and says that he intended to enter the drugs into evidence, and orders them to do it on his behalf.
