[ WP ] You 're sitting in a coffee shop watching a man type on his computer . He types the words , `` It begins raining outside '' , and it instantly starts raining .

I see a lot of coincidences in my line of work. Last week, a man who publicly ( and loudly ) threatened to murder his wife with a `` goddamn butcher's knife'' was hauled in when his wife was found dead in their second-story brownstone apartment, stabbed in the neck with a cleaver from their kitchen knife block. The detail that should have sent him to the chair: the cleaver had been recently engraved with the aramaic for'666'. But his alibi checked out, we had him on camera the whole night, entering and leaving the apartment of another woman, but a sleezeball's not a murderer. A little detective work and we'd found the real culprit, a low-level salesman in the guy's company who still had a beef about a commission check he thought he was owed. Crazy stuff happens in the city. 
 
 So when I was out having a cup of joe, unwinding from the stress of having the goddamn ( pardon the wordplay ) governor breathing down my neck to make the arrest already and the skies opened up in an unexpected downpour the exact second after the guy at the next booth typed `` It begins raining outside'', I did n't think anything of it. 
 
 Like I said, I see a lot of coincidences in my line of work.
