Almost Win-Win

Unfortunately, elderly people suffer a lot because of such criminal minded people. Was Ethel going to become another victim? The two thugs who were going to conduct the thievery were suspecting her to be an easy target. And knowing how far her car was parked they knew chances were almost none that anyone else would be present there at the moment.

Long Walk

Ethel took the back door exit from where the parking area was a little closer. It was still a long way as her car was parked in the corner. She was tired and thought that never again she will be parking her car at so much distance. As expected, the parking lot was still empty as it was already dusk. 

Ahead Of Time

They knew the old lady will take some time with her small steps and slow walk to make it till the car. So, when these men saw Ethel taking the exit, they ran outside and stood at their predecided locations. 

Catching Her Breath

Ethel walked straight to her car and sat inside without noticing the two men staring at her. She just caught her breath before closing the door. She was about to put the seat belt on when the men ran into action. They forced the door open and Ethel was shocked to see the same man at whom she waved in the morning to be one of the thieves.

Weapons

The men were carrying weapons with them. One of them had a sharp knife while another one carrying a revolver under his T-shirt. Ethel couldn’t just fight back but she needed her bag. But how could she possibly fight two young men?

Struggle

The same man snatched her handbag and pushed her back in the car. Her handbag had all her IDs, benefit cards, and credit card. More importantly, she kept her grandkids notes inside her bag. Her remaining cash was also inside her bag and in no case, could she afford to lose the bag.
