The subway systems here are confusing- and if you miss a switch, you're screwed. Especially around 12:30 AM. Jay had to take a taxi from one dead-end back to a downtown L.A. train station where he could catch a rail back to Long Beach, where we were staying.
As he got out of the cab, he tipped the driver and the cab vanished down the empty streets. Jay took off walking down a deserted sidewalk towards the metro. Well, almost deserted...
A large imposing-looking man approached Jay as he was putting his wallet away in his pocket.
"Hey, man, do you have any spare change or some money I can have?"
"No, sorry" said Jay. "I need my cash for the train."
"Aw, that's too bad, see," says the scary man. "I'm just trying to not have to rob nobody tonight."
"Ok, well, good luck with that!"
Jay was lucky to make it home alive that night.
