Behind the Film Star's Smile
“A young lad in a hoodie was tugging on the strap of her bag.
He honestly thought she was just going to let him mug her, in broad daylight, in the middle of the park? ‘Get off!’ she yelled, expecting him to drop the strap of her bag and run off.
To her shock, he produced a knife. ‘Give me your bag,’ he demanded.
Her stomach turned to water. So he wasn’t just an opportunist thief who could be scared off by attention being drawn to him, then. And, from the slurred sound of his voice, he was taking... some kind of drug that clearly made him feel invincible. He’d have no hesitation in sticking that knife straight into her.
Give him the bag.
That would be the sensible thing to do.
But the bag had her phone in it. With photos of Matt and Comet. Texts from Matt that she hadn’t been able to bear to delete.
She couldn’t lose them. Especially not today.
‘I said, give me the bag,’ he snarled again.
Baloo barked, then growled at him; he turned on the dog and kicked her hard in the ribs.MoreLess
