I want to know!

I listen a story and I have a question. If you know the answer, please tell me the answer.

Bernard lives on the twenty-second floor of a huge apartment building. Every morning he leaves his apartment, gets into the elevator, travels to the first floor and goes to work. In the evening he comes home, gets into the elevator on the first floor, travels to the fourteen floor, gets out of the elevator and walks up the stairs to his apartment on the twenty-second floor. He does this every evening. Why?

I think that answer with my class member but we can’t find this answer. So I want to know the answer!!!

Do you know this story?

Ru and Patty are both students at the University of California. They don’t know each other. They live in Berkeley, and have their own apartments. Lou lives in San Francisco. He is Ru ‘s boyfriend. Ru and Lou don’t have a good relationship. Patty’s father is rich. Patty was kidnapped because the radicals want money for political purposes. She was kidnapped from her apartment and taken to San Francisco. The radicals then hired Lou to drive them to Los Angeles. Lou didn’t know about the kidnapping. He didn’t know the radicals or Patty. When they arrived in Los Angeles, the radicals paid Lou the taxi fare, and gave him a big tip. Lou now had a lot of money, so he decided to take a vacation in Palm Springs, which is near Los Angeles. He telephoned Ru from Los Angeles and told her his plans. She was very sad when he said that he was going to take a vacation without her. Last night, after the telephone call, Ru drank too much and got very drunk. This morning she woke up with a terrible hangover, so she is drinking orange juice. Patty and the radicals are now robbing a bank in Los Angeles. The radicals need money, and have threatened to kill Patty if she doesn’t cooperate. They want to prove to the world that she is still alive.

This story is real. I can’t understand it when I listen this story at first. This story is very difficult for me. Why Patty robbing a bank? I can’t understand! Her father is rich!
