[ WP ] Your partner has been kidnapped , the photo included in the ransom note shows them tied to a chair in a dark room . With tomorrow 's newspaper on her lap .

*Did I ever tell you about the fastest kidnapping case I ever worked? * 
 
 * * * 
 
 `` Hmm, that looks like tomorrow's newspaper on her lap?'' 
 
 `` Huh?'' the distraught husband said. `` Oh! Today is... Oh, yeah, I guess so. It is, is n't it, Detective?'' 
 
 *Poor guy, too dazed to pick up on the obvious little details, * the detective thought. *Nor on the less obvious details... * `` And the typeface on the ransom note, it's serif... Caslon, specifically, is n't it? The same as used by the *Tribune* for their body text?'' 
 
 `` Uh, maybe?'' The husband squinted at the note and the photo. `` That text is really small, and I do n't know anything about fonts.'' 
 
 The detective felt old for recognizing the typeface immediately. Not many people ever read the newspaper anymore, in this day of Internet news. And of the few who did, even fewer ever paid any attention to the body text; most just scanned the headlines. 
 
 *Criminals these days... dumb and dumber. * The detective thumbed his radio. `` All units, be advised that perps are holding the hostage in the *Tribune*'s printing press and are possibly employees of either the *Tribune* or the printing press. Head over there, but no sirens! Have SWAT *quietly* set up a perimeter. We'll try to take them before they even see us. But just in case we get made, call the negotiator and get him there. And tell him we're dealing with amateurs, not pros, here, so he should prep his negotiating strategy accordingly. With luck, we'll have the hostage free before dawn.''
