"Yeah that's insane" Trip said "I mean, don't get me wrong, I've always said your smoothies were criminally good Ally, but this is ridiculous"

He took a sip of coffee and set the cup back on the table before continuing.
"I was out for a jog along the boardwalk this morning. Saw a guy just blow this woman over and snatched her purse. I tried to catch up to him, but the bastard had too much of a head start. Marcus is right, things are really going to hell in a handbasket. The gangs have the run of the whole city. Personally, I think the cops are on the take, but that's just me"

He finished off his coffee and tried to lob the empty cup into a nearby garbage can. It clattered off the rim and landed in the floor.
"This is why I don't play basketball" he said with a grin as he slipped out of his seat to finish disposing the cup.
