The Harassment of Mary

O nce upon a time, in the big city of Pittsburgh, a man robbed a woman who was leaving McDonald’s after dark. The woman, Mary, was short, blond, blue-eyed, and she worked at the restaurant. She’d gone there that night to buy a hamburger. The man forced Mary to give him her purse. The thief was black-american from Cameroonian parents he wore a mask and a hat, and his shirt and pants were black. She could not see his face very well.

Mary was really scared by the attack and did not know what to do. She had no money. She’d also lost all her jewelry, which was in her purse. She was miserable and had just enough money in her bank account to survive.

Mary went home but slept in her neighbor Jane’s apartment. In the morning, Mary had breakfast with Jane. She was about to go back to McDonald’s to work, but she went to her apartment first and looked for another purse. She had two. She called Jane on her phone and told her to wait because she was coming down. Jane drove Mary to McDonald’s, which was not far from the apartment, but Jane offered her a ride. Mary came back to her friend’s apartment for her lunch break.

Mary was new in Pittsburgh, and she and Jane were becoming friendly, but Jane didn’t talk to Mary that much. Mary told her friend about the problems she was having, and Jane advised her to tell the police about what happened. She knew Mary was poor and did not have a good job, so she advised Mary to try to work for a university as a secretary and earn a better salary. What Jane was telling Mary sounded right. She didn’t want to work as a secretary because she did not like the pay, but she never thought about working at a university.

Jane and Mary ate a good lunch. They filled up on pasta with tomato sauce and garlic bread. Mary went home for a nap, and at 2:00 p.m., she decided to go to the police about the man who stole her purse. She had always been poor, but not desperate. She still had money in her bank account; unfortunately Mary’s debit card was in the purse.

She went to the police station and met a tall man with a mustache, black eyes, and short dark hair. He wore a standard blue police uniform, a blue shirt and black pants. She introduced herself, and he identified himself as Thomas Brent, chief of police. He had worked at the police station for ten years and knew what he was doing. He quietly listened to Mary’s account of the purse theft.

OK, said Brent. Young lady, you have been victimized, and you’re telling me that the person who stole your purse had a mask on and wore black pants and a black shirt. I really don’t know how to draw, but I’m going to ask someone who works at the police station to help me. I’m calling him right now. His name is Mark.

Brent called Mark and asked him to listen carefully to the description that Mary was giving him and draw the person who attacked her.

Mark was a good artist, especially in fine arts, and he’d been working at the police station for four years. Chief Brent told Mary that Mark would help her, and the police would do their best to find the person who stole her purse. He also said if she remembered something else to come to the police station or call him anytime. The inquiries started.

During this time, the person who took Mary’s purse was looking inside her purse at what was in there. He found Mary’s debit card and used it at the Dollar Tree to buy food. Then he threw the purse in a trash can.

Mary went to her bank and asked the customer representative how much her balance was. The woman told her she had $299 in her checking account. Mary panicked; her checking account balance was $350 before the theft. Someone had already taken $51 from her checking account. She was scared and asked the banker to transfer all her money from checking to savings. She wanted to be out of danger. Her savings account was still safe. Mary had $3,890 plus the $299 from checking. She considered asking for a new debit card, but she was afraid it would be stolen, so she didn’t ask for a replacement. She decided to leave all her money in her savings account, and the banker agreed to block any new charges on her card. She explained the situation to the lady. After that, she withdrew some money and went home.

She was in her apartment watching the television. Mary Edward was the entire name of the lady who has been harassed, who was in her apartment was thinking about how she could apply for a job to a university. What her friend told her was not wrong at all. She will be earning a better salary than working to McDonald’s. She had a lot of ideas. She knows that she will have a long schedule tomorrow. She was thinking to call her boss at MCDonald’s and asked him permission if she could take another day off. That was true because today they closed the restaurant early because it was a break day. Today was a break. Mrs. Browne gave a break day for all the employees. Tomorrow she has to go back to work. Mrs. Browne asked her if she wants someone to take her shift. That is exactly what Mary did in the morning; she signed a paper for someone to replace her. Lizzie who was working at the McDonald’s was the person who will replace her the next day. Mary did not have to worry that much and she knew she will have a long day tomorrow, so she decided to be careful and not losing time the following day. She decided to cook lunch. Mary had a lot of appetit; she liked fattening food a lot. I am quite hungry said Mary to her. What am I going to make for dinner? It was 4: PM. She opened her cupboard, and saw a lot of food that was in there. She had a lot of can food such as baked beans, green beans, carrots, mixed vegetables in a can, and other types of food. She did not really like can food. She only eats can food when she has no choice, but she knew that she had more food that was hidden somewhere. She thought a minute, and looked in the other cupboard. She saw pasta, white bread and other types of macaroni in her cupboard. She planned on eating her pasta with bread another day. She really did not feel happy about eating the same thing. She decided finally to look at the freezer, she found fries, corn nuggets, and popcorn chicken that were each in a bag. She decided to eat corn nuggets and some pineapple. Mary was not fat at all for an American or even for a person from another country, she was average. She did not like to exaggerate too much about the food that she eats. Even though, she has a big appetit she knew how to control her appetit. Most of the time, she was eating less. Mary who is broke and who works at McDonald’s was a really brave girl. She was working ten hours in a day. Working an hour is $8.25.That was enough for her to pay for her rent and for her food, plus her job at McDonald’s she was living a comfortable life. The apartment that she rented was really cheap. She had a low income. Since, she is poor she only had to pay $200 each month. That was enough for her. But $200 was still a lot of money for her rent. Actually, Mary wanted someone to share the apartment with her, and Jane who likes Mary told her that she will move. That was pretty good for both
