« This old man is touching my baby! » she screamed. « I’m a poor woman, but no one touches my baby! »
People were stopping and looking at Brian with hostility and one of the passersby gave him a shove. « Get out! » she shouted angrily. « Get away from that baby! »
Don’t walk away if something seems off.. do something about it.
Brian walked away quickly and saw the woman reach into her filthy backpack and pull out an iPhone. A beggar with an iPhone? Brian ducked behind a colonnade and waited.
Not long after, a fancy dark blue SUV pulled up and a man jumped out. He stowed the woman’s bundles into the back while she buckled the baby into its seat. The woman’s demeanor was completely different!
There was something wrong here, Brian thought, but what could he do? Twenty years ago, he might have faced down the man and the woman, but now… Brian knew that he no longer had the strength or the stamina.
