The thief stepped out of the shadows. “Throw me your billfold and you won’t get hurt!”
“No.”
“I said ‘Throw me your billfold or else.’”
“Or else, what?”
“You know we’re supposed to maintain six feet of social

“Come and get it.”

“Oh, forget it.”

“He was wearing a white mask.”
“Anything else, Mr. Petree?”
“He was wearing rubber gloves.”
“Thank you Mr. Petree.
We’ll get right on it.”
