Quick recap:
---------------
Cautiously approaching her as if prey, I ask. "Tilly, babe. You okay?" Her eyes looked right through me, hollow and saddened. Her body came closer to me and in the end, our breaths were mixing. 

"Don't drink the free beer," Tilly whispers before her body crumples and hit the floor with a loud thud. 

Immediately I drop to the floor to help my clearly unwell friend. Her eyelids close smoothly while her eyes roll around like marbles to the back of her head. She was drugged.
--------------------

I pull her head into my lap, cushioning it from the cold marble floor. 

"Tilly," I whisper while tears threaten to spill. 

"Kayla!" Liam shouts rushing over to me. "Oh, no." He removes his jacket and drapes it over Tilly as some kind of comfort. He then puts the back of his hand on Tilly's forehead. "Well, do you want the good news or bad news?" Liam looks into my face with heart filled concern in his eyes. 

"I find ripping the band-aid straight off is way easier," I state with no emotion, just shock.

"We'll the good news is that she will be fine in a couple of hours." Liam soothes. "Although, the bad news is that she was definitely drugged and I'm sure the coward low life piece of shit is still out there looking for your friend here." His demeanor completely changed as he spat the last words out as if they were poison. 

"How did you..." 

"Boy Scouts." Liam interrupts sharply then losing all eye contact. 

A wrinkled ugly burnt hand grabs Liam's jacket, pulling him up with no effort at all. Looking up I catch a glimpse of the unknown intruder. He was definitely aged and dressed in black leather from head to toe. Two well-built men wearing shades stand behind him with hidden pistols peeking from their sleeves. 

Oh Tilly, what did you get us into?

"Well, well, well. What do we have here." The old man draws out on his tongue while his eyes trace itself up and down Liam's body, assessing the situation. 

Then Liam speaks quick and sharply in Italian that makes the man's face drop. His eyes suddenly spark with realization and he drops Liam sharply as if he was burnt.
"I'm so sorry sir, please let me buy you a drink as an apology." He muffles while shrinking 2 sizes smaller. 

What the hell is going on?

Liam brushes the invisible dust off and his body language changes miraculously. His tone is dominant and he stands as if he was a king. He dismissively waves his hand and the 3 men scurry off with their leather between their legs.

"We'll those creeps won't touch another girl again, I can assure you." He promises with a genuine smile.

"You can speak Italian?" I say in surprise.

"Of all that scene, all you ask is that I can speak Italian." He says. "I like you." He smirks, causing me to laugh. 

"Come on, we better move your friend elsewhere." Liam gently picks her up in his arms while moving towards an exit sign.

I pick up our gear and race after Liam. God, he can move fast...
