A male, clearly English, voice broke through the audio from her police scanner. Lifting her head, the girl noticed quick glances to her and the path behind her from passersby. These glances were accompanied by subtle whispers when she removed her earbuds. 
Turing around, she met eye to eye with a tall, dark man dressed in vibrant green. This was no doubt the person she had bumped into. 
The girl tucked her phone into the pocket of her jacket. The police could handle themselves for a few minutes. 

"What's your problem?" the girl blurted out as she approached the man.

She paused for a moment to analyze the stranger. It was something about his argument and choice of attire that struck an off note with her. He clearly didn't belong in the big city. Where was he from? Why was he here? Her mind burned with curiosity.
