Suddenly, Josie crouched down. She squatted in the corner, crying uncontrollably. “If anything happens to Mr. Zimmerman, I won’t let you off the hook!”

Arnold’s heart skipped a beat. He hadn’t expected her to make such a move. He nudged her with his leg and urged, “Get up. There are many people here.”

People came and went, all finding it amusing as they fixed their gaze on her.

Josie continued to cry. “I’ll only stop if you promise me you won’t let anything happen to him!”
