The last punch managed to throw the man down to the floor.
The lady then placed the sole of her right boot on the man's chest.
I couldn't tell from where I was standing.
But she muttered these exact words out loud.
"If I see you trying to kidnap children one more time, you're getting more than just a knuckle sandwich."
She then dug her boot further into the man's chest.
The man looked like he was trying to hold in the pain.
"Now scram before I grab the knife sitting next to the fishmonger."
The man clicked his tongue in frustration. Before he left, the man sent a glare to me.
His glare made me chew on my bottom lip nervously.
'That man just tried to kidnap me and he knew I was a girl.'
But something was bugging me.
'Who was he?'
