..the last time that happened, my cousin left my 1992 Camry rental near Brooklyn; walked off with his backpack, and I did not see him again until 2004 in Georgia. He was a native New Yorker, like me. His mother had him and his three brothers in the Bronx, but kicked them all out by age 14. I don't know if he's Barbadian, Ghanaian or English. He travels to all three. I feel protective of him.
Last night a coworker and I left work between midnight and 1:30AM; he on foot. That's normal for him. He's pedestrian from Illinois. We're 3 days apart. I met him 2 years ago. I feel somewhat protective of him. But we only work together one day a week. I guess the rest of the time, he's on his own.
