(In an alley in New Jersey an old woman was being mugged)
All right lady give me all of your money and these streets won't be painted a new color. The old lady trembled as she gave the mugger her purse. He ran off but a blocks down he fell on his face "Ah dammit" he said "whose the wise guy who did this?" He looked around seeing that he couldn't find the purse he had just stolen. About 20 feet ahead he saw the purse and he got up and bent down to grab but as soon as he did he saw a dark figure stand in his way of the purse "Hey buddy that's my moms purse so you'd better give it back." As the crook grabbed for it the figure smashed the crooks hand into the ground and broke his finger. "Hey buddy you want a face full of lead?" the crook grabbed for his handgun but as he did James (aka The Dark Figure) kicked the mans head and fell unconscious. James took the purse went back to the old lady and gave it to her "Thank you" the lady said "what is your name" but by then he was gone into the night.
