The Vent

"That... I never knew" 

She puller her hand back quickly. 

'He has a disability tag… but he is not disabled! Sure he is a little banged up but…..' She unconsciously spoke in her mind.

It was a crime to inflict pain on someone who wore a disability badge. Luckily Jacob was able to pass as just that.  The way he moved and flinched to every touch made him fit the bill.

The strength Yu Bing had grabbed him with put him in some real pain.

Yu Bing tried to explain herself but it all came out as gibberish. She eventually gave up and stormed off. She was only sounding like a fool. 

The crowd parted allowing her to pass. There was a brief silence among the crowd. The woman came over to check up on Jacob.

"Are you alright?"

She extended her hand to help him up, this woman was Leila.

"I'm fine", Jacob ignored it and stood up by himself using his crouch. 

He clutched his arm softly as he started to leave.
