Meanwhile, across the street, local news reporter Samantha Carter was working on a segment about urban life. Her cameraman, scanning the scene for compelling footage, caught sight of Joe lying on the pavement amidst a small cluster of onlookers. “Do you think he’s okay?” the cameraman asked, his voice tinged with concern.
Samantha, peering through the lens, took in the image of Joe and the gathering crowd. After a moment’s consideration, she shrugged dismissively. “Probably just someone who’s had a rough night,” she replied, her tone betraying a lack of urgency. “Let’s not get distracted; we have a story to cover.”
