"Today is so slow!" Maria Deluca said sitting down next to her boyfriend Michael Guiren, Maria's best friend Liz Parker walked up to the table to see Maria and Michael start a mini make out session.

"Excuse me. . .Maria?" Liz said standing next to Maria with her hands on her hips. Maria stopped kissing Michael and turned to her friend. Liz could hear Michael growl, she took a step back. Even though she was a friend of his now she was still a bit scared of him.

"Yes Lizzie?" Maria asked innocently


"We still have three people here." Liz said taking another step back from the look on Michael's face. Michael saw this a gave her a little smile knowing she was still afraid of him.

"You can handle it right Liz?" Maria said pleading. Liz looked at her friend and raised an eyebrow.

"Could you at least help me clean a little? Than you can go to Michael's apartment and do. . .whatever you do." Liz said getting an image in her head that she didn't want. Maria sighed and put a frown on her face. She turned back to Michael and gave him another kiss and then got up and followed Liz to the back room, but before either of them could make it a man ran into the small cafe with a gun in his hand. Maria and Liz stopped right where they were. Liz looked around the cafe to see Michael, five other friends of hers and the three women who were eating their dinner.

"I want all your money now!" The man yelled stepping closer to Maria and Liz. Everyone in the cafe grew stiff.

"Okay. . .listen here's all our tips and the only money we have from the cash register is on the counter. The owner just took the rest of it to the bank." Maria said calmly has she took Liz's and her own tips and put it gently on the counter for the man to reach. Then she stepped back and stood next to Liz. The man looked at Maria then the money. He reached over and took the money then started to the other counter that held the other money. After he took it he turned back to Maria and Liz and held the gun up again.

"Is that it?" He asked carefully pointing the gun at the two girls. Maria nodded and said "That's it." For the first time the man seemed to notice the other people in the cafe. For the last time he looked at the two girls standing in front of him. Then he turned and ran out the door, but not before he shot off the gun three times. Everyone watched the man as he ran out the door and run down the street everyone turned their attention back to Maria and Liz when one of the women eating their dinner screamed Maria's name and ran over to her. Liz turned to her friend to see Maria holding her stomach with blood flowing out freely. Maria then fell to the ground with blood coming out faster every second.
