check whether the lady was safe and okay after the theft incident.
Explanation:
In the book "All American Boys" by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely, Rashad originally thought the officer in the store was yelling to check whether the lady was safe and okay after the theft incident.
However, he realized that the officer was not yelling to assure the safety of the lady but was yelling at him to stop from trying to run away. Rashad found out that he was falsely accused of theft by the storekeeper to the police officer.
