The man scrambled towards the trash bin and Tessa screamed so she could mask the sound of the trash bag rustling under his body. Then she ran to the main part of the restaurant so that the men wouldn't come into the kitchen.

The main part of the restaurant had been plunged into darkness. From the crunch under Tessa's shoes, she guessed they had shot the light which was good because then she wouldn't have to explain the blood stain on her clothes.

"Stop shooting bastard." The fatter shorter man said. "Pretty lady, why are you screaming?"

"It's... a crazy man came in here a few minutes ago."

"He did. I told you, Alessio. I did." The taller man nudged the fat one.

"Where is he?" The fat one moved closer.

"As soon as he heard your car, he ran out and towards the alleyway across." Tessa pointed to the other side of the street that was shrouded in trees and some overgrown bushes.

"That's it. We'll end that bastard's life today." The taller man said.

"You've been very helpful, dear Do you think you could help us some more?" The man grabbed her waist and pulled her so close that she could smell the cigarette on his face.
