Marion blinked at Kasey's retreating back for a moment before she started moving in his wake, afraid of what might happen if they got separated by the crowd. While she didn't expect another attempted snatch when she was by his side, once apart, it would take little for some miscreant to abduct her. Thankfully, that line of thinking was interrupted when he stopped and turned to take ahold of her arm.
