But Here in California It's The Number 6

that's considered superlatively unlucky. Telephone company decided to unveil the then-new area code 626 for the San Gabriel Valley, home to many of Asian descent. Those folks raised quite a ruckus about having to dial the 6 not once, but twice. "Ayyy, caramba!" or whatever the Chinese equivalent would be.

AT&T and the California telecommunications commision don't back down, so everyone has to wince while dialing those 6's.

My guess is that the 4th Floor of the Lucky Dragon exists (go outside and count the stories!!) but it's the headquarters of SPECTRE or THRUSH. You need a Secret Agent Magnetic Sensor Ring to get the elevator to stop at 4.
