A Challange For Brad Part 1

Max and Lisa arrived at the terminal gate just as the passengers were walking off the plane.

After a few seconds of watching the passengers walk out.

Max suddenly spoke, "There she is," he said motioning toward Brad, he and Lisa walked up to her.

"Hey, Max," Brad smiled, greeting him warmly. "it's so good to see you again."

"It's great to see you to Brad," Max said. "Mom will be so glad to see you too."

"I'm sure she will." Brad commented.

Then, he turned and motioned to Lisa, "Brad, this is Lisa Atwood of the Saddle Club." Max said.

"Hi Brad," Lisa smiled, shaking her outstretched hand.

Brad looked curious, "What's a Saddle Club?" she asked.

"More on that later," Max chuckled. "right now, we'd better get your suitcase!"

As they were walking down to the baggage claim, Max and Brad were startled when Lisa suddenly grabbed the arm of a young black haired man, who was brushing by them in the crowd, and twisted his wrist forcing the man to his knees.

"Give it back!" Lisa growled.

"Give what back?" the man replied, feigning innocence.

Lisa motioned to Brad, "The wallet you just took out of this lady's jacket as if you didn't know!" she snapped at the young man twisting his wrist harder.

The young man relented and pulled out Brad's wallet and handed it back.

"Hey, Lisa was right," Brad exclaimed. "he did pick my pocket just now!"

Lisa turned the young pickpocket loose, "Get out of here!" she snapped, and the young man took off.

"Thank you, Lisa." Brad said.

"No problem, Brad." Lisa said.

"How did you spot that pickpocket so fast though?" Brad asked Lisa.

"When he came around the corner, I saw the medallion he was wearing," Lisa said. "it's the symbol of the Sundance Romani clan, they're the type of clan that gives the rest of them a bad name."

"We'll fill you in on the way back to Pine Hollow." Max said, he grabbed Brad's suitcases off the conveyor belt and they headed out to the car.
