Eric could clearly feel that these three weren't the only people in the alley, as there were quite a few young children on the other side of the alley, being kept in their place by some other big guys.
What made him extremely surprised was the fact, that a few of those guys were looking at the scene with complicated looks and expressions.
They seemed like they were considering whether they should intervene or not, but in the end, they were clear that should they intervene they would suffer as well.
Even more so when the policeman got out of his hiding spot and walked over leisurely. They understood who had the strongest arm, and they didn't even dare to think of entering the frame.
Sensing the happenings Eric was surprised quite a bit with the little guy, as despite all this he didn't seem to have lost his hopes. He wasn't broken by what happened.
