CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Granny opened the door to the phone store. “Did you see that? That man was taking a picture of me. Call the police. I want to know who he was.”

The young man behind the counter looked up as Granny entered. “Yeh, well, everyone’s taking pictures now, ya know. No one’s safe. Might end up on SciffScaff, the online video place. You never know who’s takin’ your picture. Where ya doin’ something stupid?”

“Ah, no.”

“Then why should you care? You’re on camera all the time.” The young man pointed to the ceiling. “Look up, see anything there?”

Granny peered at the ceiling. “Ah, no.”

“Well it’s there; right here and here and here.” He pointed as he tapped on the ceiling in different places. “See that, cameras all over taking your picture.” He walked to the front of the store. He pointed at the light pole right by Granny’s car. “See that? Yup, it’s there––a camera. I’d say a guy taking your picture is the least of your problems. You can see him. See that man who just passed you in the street? See his hat.”

Granny peered out the window at the man walking down the street.

“It’s taking a picture of you. All he has to do is meet you or follow you and it’s done. You’re recorded. You don’t know what he’s gonna do with that picture. Could be a Sciffscaff guy, and you wouldn’t even know it.” The young man stood next to Granny and put his arm around her shoulders, leaned in and whispered. “You never know who’s watching you.”

Granny jumped back wishing she hadn’t forgotten her umbrella in the car or better yet, she wished she had her knitting needle. He would have seen that she got her point across.

“Enough!” Granny yelled. “I came for a phone and if you don’t get me one soon, well, I don’t want to be responsible for what happens.” Granny grabbed his arm and led him over to the window. “You think I’m an old woman and you’re gonna scare me, do ya? Well, let me let you in on a little secret. I’m not old; this is a disguise and I’m undercover. See that car out there? It is not just a car. See those headlights? They’re not just headlights. They can take someone out in a second by a flip of a switch that’s in my pocket. Granny indicated she was holding something in her pocket. See that car door? If it opens by itself, well, I don’t want to be responsible. Get me a phone!!! Lives are at stake.” Granny took a tighter grip on his arm. “Do you understand?”

“Right, right. I’ll be back in just a minute. I have just the right phone for you in the back room.”

Granny meandered around the store looking at the fancy electronic tablets, at the phone cases, when she heard the door open and close. Two policeman entered the store and walked up to her.

“Is this the woman who threatened you?” one of the policemen said to the young man who was now standing in the door to the back room.
