88. Pete
The cab driver, seeing that Robert Green gets out a gun and aims it at the two women, takes a small baseball bat from under his seat and slowly approaches Robert Green from behind. When he sees that he is about to shoot, he hits him round the head with all his might. Robert Green falls to the ground, unconscious.
Cab driver: And you better wake up soon, because you own me 7 pounds thirty pence!
Alice: Thank you, Sir! You saved us! I really think he was going to shoot.
Natalie: Do you always carry a baseball bat in your car?
Cab driver: Ha ha ha, no! It’s my son’s. He has softball practice this afternoon. It was just a coincidence!
Detective Smith: Are you both okay, what happened?
Alice: Robert Green got out of the car and confronted us. He was furious. At one point, he got a gun out! Then this good man came up from behind and knocked him out!
Detective Smith: Thank you very much. What is your name?
Cab driver: I’m Pete. So what’s in that briefcase anyway, that has you all so worried?
