suspicious package on train

Image
So I'm investigating a suspicious "briefcase" left on a subway station platform. What makes it suspicious? I have no idea except that someone abandoned it and continued on his commute leaving it behind. But as long as you "See something, say something" I guess the world's a better place... Anyway, as two patrolmen scramble up and down the outdoor platform looking behind beams and under benches for said suspicious package, I notice and overly nosy Mother/Daughter team follwing my every move to the exclusion of their idle chatter. Glancing quickly, I notice the daughter is wearing a cut off NYPD t shirt. So I squeeze up between the two of them, stepping in front of the groupie with my back to mom and entertain the daughter... "Excuse me," I say. "Did you happen to notice a tall Russian woman wearing a black blazer, black pants, and abnormally large sunglasses? She's also carrying a subway sandwich bag with a poorly made sandwich in it?&q
