"Help!"
Turning around, he saw a burly man dragging an elderly woman towards a van parked on the side of the road. An elderly woman was struggling to break free from the man's grip and was screaming for help at the top of her lungs. The man seemed determined to drag her into the van and was not paying attention to anything else around him.
"Hey!" he yelled out to the man. The man got scared and let go of the elderly woman. She collapsed on the rocky ground of the alley, while the man drove off in his van. The woman muttered under her breath, "Where did it go?" as she searched for something.

"Hey! Why did you give me a locket!"
