The Arrival
It was a typical Saturday at Burger King. Kids burst through the door, filling the room with noise and laughter. Timmy, smaller and quieter, stood out as an easy target. The aroma of grilled burgers filled the air. A large man, Sam, sat in a corner booth, unnoticed but observant.
As the kids ordered, Sam’s eyes never left them. He knew what they were about to do. He had seen things like this all the time. But he was not going to let it happen, not on his watch.
