Scared

She was shell shocked but again didn’t show it to him. Questions bombarded her mind. What should she do? Should she raise a cry or just stand still? As she planned to move, he told her something which made her heart skip a beat. She went cold feet and could not move. She took the time to gather herself back. 

Don’t React

The man guessed that she was about to do something and said, “Don’t react. I am armed.” He then put his hand on his weapon under his shirt. For any woman, this would be the most terrifying scenario but Polyana was different. When she watched him tease her by running his hand on his weapon, she doubted that it was a fake. The next move was decided. 

The Bold Move

“I realized it was too soft. He was close to me. So I thought, ‘If it’s a gun, he won’t have time to draw it.’ So I stood up.” Polyana stood up and close to the predator, she was ready for a better introduction. What if she was wrong? What if the weapon was real? Now that she had got up, there was no turning back. 

Safety Compromised

 

Had she just compromised her safety? Her getting up in anger could trigger the man and he could do something unforeseen. Was a cellphone worth this risk? Shouldn’t she throw the phone and run away before he could react. She might lose her phone but wasn’t it better than risking her life?

It Took Only A Second

It all happened within a second. Her getting up for doing what might be her next move to his moving his hands towards what might be a deadly weapon. Most women here would decide to run away for their life leaving behind whatever the man with a concealed deadly weapon demanded but Polyana Viana was different and what was about to happen was for sure different for the thief himself.

Before he could get that weapon out, Polyana had landed two jabs and a kick and he lay then and there. She then held him in a rear-naked choke. The tables had turned. She sat at the same place as they did before and held him tight. “Now, we’ll wait for the Police,” she said. The man was in grave pain and was confused about what had just happened. Only one person could have told him. Polyana Viana.
