Det.-Con. Box sits alone on a deserted railway platform night after night. His wife is worried by these nightly excursions which could be for the purpose of meeting an informant... and informants can be dangerous. His colleagues are concerned at his lack of attention to routine work... wondering if it can be explained by a concentration on solving a series of Post Office robberies. But Box tells none of them where he goes or what he is waiting for.
