Rock was in a lobby at the old Arkansas Democrat building just as Judy walked through to pass out paychecks. She gave Rock one for $1,920. He wasn't sure why, but it looked as if someone used a pencil to write it.
"That means they're about to fire you," photographer Rick McFranklin said.
Rock wasn't sure whether McFranklin was kidding, but assumed he was since he had never heard of a contract worker being fired. Regardless, after further examination Rock realized it had been written and signed in ink.
As he left the building, Rock ran across an enormous room on the ground floor, which looked like one from a 200-year-old government building in Washington, D.C. It had two marble staircases the width of the building's interior, and Rock leaped down them from top to bottom—a drop of at least ten feet—with no trouble whatsoever, like an athletic child, and heard people behind him express amazement.
