"Jeff where are you going"? Matt asked as he looked at his brother quizzically.

Jeff racked his head for an excuse to give Matt. "Um, I'm going to meet some friends at a local bar". Jeff knew if he told Matt he was really going for walk on the streets of New York after midnight Matt wouldn't let him go because it was to dangerous, at least that is what Matt says.

Jeff walked outside the hotel. After a while of just walking down the streets he heard someone crying. He tried to look down the alley but it was to dark. So he decided to walk down there to see who was crying. As he approached a dead end blocked by brick apartments he saw a dark figure trembling in the corner. By the sound of it, it was a woman. He knelt beside her and asked her if she was okay. Her long black hair covered her tear stained face. She looked up at him and in a small whisper she said, "Please don't hurt me"!

As she looked into his emerald green eyes he gasped at the sight he saw. She looked like a beautiful young lady who had been severely beaten. She had a bruise on her left eye and marks all over her arm.

"Who did this to you"? he asked in an infuriated voice.

"My b-boyfriend" she said weakly.

All Jeff could respond with was "What, you need to get out of here"

"No" she shouted. :I can't, he'll just come and find me".

Come on, at least come with me to get ice for your eye". He said in a comforting southern drawl.

"No, I don't even know your name or why you really want to help me", she retorted.

"Okay, that is completely understandable. First of all my name is Jeff and my father taught me how to be a gentleman and help others in need", he replied.

"Please just go, if he finds you here he'll think something was going on between us", she said choking on a sob.

He looked into her pleading eyes. He knew she was right so he decided to leave but regretting it knowing something might happen to her.
