Summary
It’s a simple stick-up. A wild-eyed teen coming out of a back alleyway with a pocketknife in hand, brandishing it at Dolly in a way that suggests he’s never held a weapon before. “Give me all your money.” His poor little voice is shaking.
“You’re going to have to give me a second,” Dolly says. “I have to put down my bags.” She’s met with the knife jabbing even closer, shaking in her face.
“Don’t move!” he says.
Well, now Dolly wishes very strongly that she had both hands free so she could put them on her hips, to more pointedly express her frustration. “Now, listen here, young man—“
“Is there a problem here,” a voice says from behind. Deep. Filtered and buzzing.
The would-be mugger goes paler than Dolly had thought was possible. His mouth flaps open and closed, but no sound comes out. She has to tilt her head up and up in order to catch the figure in his totality. He’s even larger than he looks on the news, with gleaming guns strapped to seemingly every available surface. The scarlet of his helmet looks almost black in the shadow. Red Hood casts a brief glance down towards Dolly before looking back to the mugger.
