"You will be at large for any emergency that comes in."
Nothing like that quote is sent to any other unit. Looking at the message: Emergency? At large? Sounds like a well set message to me. Couple that with the report of a cop car stopping and honking in front of Oswald's place while he was there, and what have we?
BTW, when Oswald takes the bus from downtown, he takes the one that goes close to Ruby's apartment, (and only within about a quarter mile of his own place) rather than the one that would drop him across the street from his house. Then after leaving his place, (after the cop honks) he heads off walking toward Ruby's. He runs into Tippit when he has gotten a bit over halfway to Ruby's.
