Pearl, unlike other women, wasn’t swayed by Hanzel’s pleading look. She could sense his feelings for her but couldn’t reciprocate.

“Get out of the car, Richard!”
The occupants of the car behind them got out, cursing fiercely. Richard realized they were after him and said to Pearl, They’re here for me. I’ll distract them later so you can escape.”
