A common man would escape running away, but Mike wants to fix this mess. On the other side of the corner, we find Dorinda and her friends, that are scared and fly away (scaring Mike too). This is a nice picture of the pigeon, captured with its legs and tail feathers fully extended. This situation is also dramatic for Dorinda.
