Coco Edwards learned from the security guard that these people had hidden quite a few hoes and other tools halfway here, seemingly prepared to confront both the hotel and the film crew.
The film crew had many people, but they were not more numerous than the villagers here.
Moreover, the villagers here were accustomed to hard work; when the crew faced these villagers, even two against one might not guarantee a win. They had even dared block the roads to prevent police from entering, clearly indicating that the villagers had other plans.
Therefore, Coco Edwards was genuinely afraid that a direct confrontation might ensue before the police arrived, truly leading to an uncontrollable situation. She feared nothing else but that actors like Jane Sampson could get hurt.
Well, or rather, Coco Edwards feared nothing but Jane getting hurt.
"I understand," James Black responded, "I'll arrange for someone to head over immediately."
