A moment later, he was crouched above the helpless man.
"My first thought was I don't want to be a shaking helpless man at 44."
He was still the helpless, sick man she'd had to care for so long.
Nothing would persuade me to agree to the death of a helpless man.
This was an easy task, the shooting of a helpless man.
A helpless man had been done to death while he looked on.
It wouldn't do to start shooting while helpless men were involved.
But neither could he leave a helpless man so trapped.
He walked among the helpless men, and reached in their pockets.
He saw the helpless man caught in the path of light.
