When the lights go down in the city....

So I took the bus the other day and I ended up having to walk from the bus depot as I do when I go to early morning Dialysis. As I'm getting close to the clinic I see this woman standing at the bus stop. All of a sudden she runs towards the bushes while grasping at her belt line. I grew up in a house full of women and I know that to be the international sign for "I gotta pee." Being the gentleman that I am (in public anyway) I try to keep looking straight ahead as I pass. Suddenly I hear from the bushes "Hey! You got the time?" Do I ignore it or do I answer? It's not like I can say I didn't see her because we were the only two humans in the streets.  I look in her general direction and say "4:30." As I glance down the street I see the bus coming and I said "you are going to miss your bus." No response. I keep walking and the bus passes me. I look back and she is still standing at the bus stop. Was that a new technique for prostitutes to solicit? Was there a pimp in those bushes waiting to stab me? Did I pass up some really good bush in the bushes? (I'm hearing "push push in the bush" in my head right now.) Personally I'm scared to think of the consequences.
