"Steve," Amy started. "Where are we going?"

"Be patient, Amy." Steve chuckled. "We're almost there."

Steve's car pulled up to a nice restaurant. Amy smiled.

Steve then parked the car and got out. He went to Amy's side and opened the door for her.

"Thank you." Amy smiled. Steve held out his hand and Amy took it. "So, this is what you wouldn't tell me?" Amy asked as Steve and her walked inside.

"Yup." Steve replied by popping the "p".

The two were showed to their table and sat down.

Amy had her head tilted back and was laughing.

"You and Danny should really get married." Amy joked as she wiped a tear from her eye.

"Sometimes, that man drives me crazy." Steve chuckled.

Amy chuckled and looked into Steve's eyes.

"Um..." Steve cleared his throat. His right hand went into his right pocket and grabbed the felt box. "Amy, you know I'll protect you no matter what. And I'll love you no matter what." Steve took out the box and held it in his hand. He went to move off of his seat when Amy stopped him.

"Steve," Amy was looking at something behind him. There were three men in dark suits that had guns hidden by their jackets. They walked into the restaurant, hands on their weapons.

"Steve..." Amy saw one of the men grab a little girl from her family. The little girl screamed and cried for her parents.

The man yelled at her, told her to stop. But, when the little girl didn't, he back handed her across the face.

Amy quickly stood up and yelled, "HEY!"

Steve tried to stop the girl but she got out of his reach quickly.

The men turned towards her and pulled out their guns.

"Stop!" One man yelled. Amy stopped. But her eyes never left the little girl.

"What's your deal?!" Amy shouted. "What did this little girl ever do to you?"

The men started laughing.

"Collecting." One man said. "Payment." He smiled.

Amy looked towards the family and saw no emotion on their faces.

"Payment?" Amy breathed. She made her hands into fists. "You sick people!"

"Shut up!" The man to Amy's left shouted. "We're leaving."

"Wait." The man in front of Amy stepped towards her. His hand slowly grabbed her chin. Then, it moved to her bare shoulders. Amy tensed. The man smiled.

"Let's take her." The man's hand began to move lower down Amy's body when she reacted. Her head slammed forward and sent the man back. The man reached for his weapon but realized it was missing.

"Looking for something?" Amy held the man's gun in front of her body.

"You little—" The man stepped forward but stopped when he heard a click.
