Jimmy Wells fully intended to meet Bob at ten o'clock and to identify himself. He was a little early, so he was taking his time about patrolling his beat and trying all the shop doors to make sure they were securely locked. Bob knows he must look suspicious to a cop because he is standing inside the entranceway to a closed shop in the dark. So he never gives Jimmy a chance to say anything or to ask anything. Bob thinks he knows what this cop would ask, so he tells him before he can do so.
