Alex once again looked back at the old Coon, and then it hit him. It was the clothes.
He noticed the dirt-grey coat that the Old Coon wore, extra dirty in some places, while there were a few super clean spots with no dirt on them. This was not the way clothes became dirty naturally.
For years, he had practiced his ability to notice these little details on every stranger he met. It was an obsession he developed after reading a story about how a few undercover guys found some of his comrades' homes to beat them senseless.
From all his knowledge, he realized the Old Coon intentionally made his coat dirtier. Was this to act like a helpless old man in the crowd?
When Alex stood at the door, the Old Coon shouted at Carl while pointing at him. "Is this the arrogant guy you want me to teach?"
