"Back away!" The man screamed. The second man looked shocked at this partners actions, also pulled a gun out and pointed it at the diner patrons. "What are you doing here!"
"I don't know who you are, just let her go." Danny said.
"Stay back!" The man screamed. He pointed his gun towards Danny and let off a shot. Danny dived out of the way but his attention was drawn away when he heard more screams. The second man also let off a few rounds and a few windows shattered. More screams sounded. Danny glanced over to Grace who was huddled under the table in the arms of Kate and Maddie. He nodded to her and she nodded back. Danny moved to stand up but felt a gun dig into his neck.
"Don't move." Danny recognised the voice of the first man. He reached down and grabbed Danny's gun from his hand. "Who are you?"
"No one, just here having coffee." Danny replied. He could see out of the corner of his eye a figure sprawled on the floor.
"You are armed, who are you?" The man asked.
"Let me tend to the victim." Danny said. The man grabbed Danny by the back of the neck and pulled him up. In a swift second he pushed Danny against the side wall behind them, pinning him against it with his arm across Danny's neck.
"Who are you?" The man asked him. Danny didn't answer. The man handed his gun to his friend who kept it pointed at Danny. The other man started to go through Danny's pockets. Danny closed his eyes in silent hope that he wouldn't find his 5-0 badge. The mans hand searched the trouser pockets and stopped as it came across something interesting. The man pulled out the unmistakeable shiny badge that identified Danny as a police officer, as the enemy.
"And what do we have here?" The man wondered looking at the badge. "5-0? You're a cop!"
"Looks that way."
"What were you doing here? How did you know?" The man asked him, pushing his face closer to Danny. Danny tried to take a breath but the mans arm was pressed firmly against his neck.
"I...I was just here...having coffee. I don't...even know who you are."
"You expect me to believe that?"
"It's true. I was just having...coffee." Danny repeated. The man looked from Danny and back to the rest of the scared patrons of the diner. He spotted the cowering children under the table, covered by a pretty lady. They were all looking at the man and Danny. The man turned back to Danny and in a swift move he threw Danny to the ground.
"Charlie, lock them doors. We have a little problem here."
