Anthony felt the knife against his throat, and he was actually genuinely afraid and ready to run for it if necessary. He hoped it wouldn't come to that.

"Relax. I don't have any money on me, anyways," he said, his voice a bit shaky. This guy wouldn't stab him, for sure, but he was still kind of scared. "and—uh, if you're going to stab me then please stab me in like, the ribs or the side." Those things are survivable, at least. Getting stabbed in the throat? Not so much.
