Sammy unlocks the diner he works at and heads to the small locker room. He's been working here since he ran away from his abusive husband, Joey. He was the one who got here first to open up and get everything going. Which he did after he put his bag in the locker.

He starts the coffee maker, takes the frozen meet out to start thawing, and getting other things ready for opening time. Sammy starts washing and drying the dishes when the bell above the door rings. "We're close for 20
More minutes." He calls out. He waits for the bell to ring again but it didn't.

Sammy sighs. " Karen man." He puts down the dish and grabs a towel to dry his hands as he walks out from the back. "Hey, I said it's closed-" Sammy stops.

There was no one there. Sammy looks left and right. No one was at the table there. He went to checks the bathrooms and didn't see anyone in there. Sammy was confused but went back to the back and started to clean the dishes again.

He finishes washing a plate and grabs the towel, drying it. Then a hand covers his mouth from behind. Sammys eyes widen and he spins around. His eye widen more at the sight of horror. Joey drew!!

Norman Polk enters the diner for his shift. He heads over behind the counter and about to announce his presence when there was a crashing sound from the back. He quietly and quickly went in.

He found Sammy was in a mess of broken dishes ,blood coming from somewhere, with an older man looming over him. "You can't leave me Sammy!!!" He yells at the poor man then kicks him hard in the ribs. Norman's heart hurts hearing the sound of Sammy's cries.

"Hey!!" Norman yells. The man spins around,giving him a look like deer in headlights     "Get the fuck outta here before I miss you up!!" Norman warns. He was big man and looks ready to fight anyone as well as the look he gives the old man. The old man runs out though the back.

  Norman hurries to Sammy and helps him up. "I'm f-fine. I'm fine..." Sammy protest.

"You are not fine Sammy Lawrence. You are bleeding and you are hurt." Norman grabs the first aid kit and opens it. He put on the rubber gloves and starts looking for the sore of the bleeding. He found the spot. A large slice on Sammys upper leg. Norman begins cleaning it form germs. "So was that your ex?..Joey?"

Sammy hisses from the stinging. "Ow!..y-yes..."

Norman nods then starts to bandage the cut. "I see. Sorry you had to go though that. But I'm proud of you for leaving that asshole. Lots of people don't get to."

"Ya well..he found me....probably going to -ow!..to come back." Sammy crosses his arms around his chest.

"Nah. We have cameras here. Once I'm done with this I'm making a few calls." Norman finishes and bring him into a hug. "He'll go to prison. You won't have to worry about him again. I promise."
