We are not authorized to leave the station after dark under any circumstances.
In an emergency, do not call 911.
Call the number and do exactly what they say.
We draw straws to see who gets overnight shifts.
Why we need to stay overnight if we can't do anything is beyond me.

I have to work my overnight shift.
I keep my phone close, the number dialed in, ready if I need to call.
