Being a bartender means that you see a lot of different things go down. A lot of them unfortunately being shady guys trying to do things to women. Usually I'm quite busy tending to the bar and making drinks to meet the demands of customers, but if I notice something strange, I might alert the security team.

It was an unusually slow night, and I was just drying some glasses with a towel when a petite woman walked in, going straight to a booth. It was a bit out of my line of sight but I subtly moved to the area behind the bar where I could keep an eye on her.

A large unit of a man wearing all black took the seat across from her and I swallowed. He looked terrifying, with a scar going behind his sunglasses and I presume across his eye. I glanced at her and was surprised to see that she almost looked bored.

I studied her further. She had some bright lipstick on but her face didn't look caked in other makeup. She wore a shorter dress but it didn't hug her figure or reveal much. Her hair seemed to be in large curls, but they kind of stuck out at odd angles.

Who was she?

She started talking first. She seemed confident, like she owned the place. Then she said something that made him tense up. Before I knew it, his hands were in fists on the table he was growling out something. I was slowly lowering the glass I was drying for the past ten minutes in case I had to make a quick decision to fetch security.

But then she said something and his face fell, and he searched his pockets frantically. I thought I saw a glint of metal in the woman's hands, but I couldn't be sure because the next thing I know, I see the grown man run for the hills like his life depended on it.

Perplexed, I stared after him. But I failed to notice that the woman had come up to the bar until she said to me, "Did you see something interesting?" in a chilling voice that almost made me drop my glass.
