A young girl slipped a note to a waitress under a napkin in a small restaurant. The waitress, Emma, sensed something strange was happening but was at a loss for words when she found the handwritten note hidden between the napkins. Her face flushed as she read the girl’s message, and she knew she had to act quickly. The couple could leave at any time and she couldn’t let them get away. So, she dropped the note on the floor and rushed out the doors, locking everyone inside.
Emma had noticed the couple’s strange behavior as soon as they entered the restaurant. She’d had intuitions before, but none were this strong. The girl’s eyes were covered by large sunglasses, as the man led her towards a table in the back. The last thing Emma wanted to do was serve them, stacking two menus on top of each other. She sighed and walked towards their table.
When Emma introduced herself, the man barely acknowledged her presence. He grumbled their drink orders, eyes glued to the screen of his phone. His girlfriend didn’t say a word, her eyes fixed on the hard wooden table in front of them. Emma always hated serving rude customers, but she was about to face more than just rudeness. She couldn’t explain the strange, uneasy feeling she felt in the couple’s presence. The man constantly looked over his shoulder, while the girl remained motionless, her dark glasses covering most of her face.
When Emma raised her concerns with a fellow waitress, she assured her there was nothing to worry about. Strange people passed through the restaurant all the time. Emma tried to comfort herself, thinking that eventually they would leave and she would never have to see them again. All she had to do was mind her own business.
However, Emma’s unease increased when she noticed a small, disturbing interaction between the couple. It sent shivers down her spine and she quickly called 911. Born and raised in Franklin, Massachusetts, Emma Davis was an average 22-year-old college student. When she wasn’t on campus studying, she worked as a waitress at one of the city’s most popular restaurants.
One Thursday afternoon, Emma was almost late for her shift due to campus traffic. She managed to arrive only two minutes early, but she was particularly tired after handing in her last assignment of the semester. The first two hours of his work passed without incident. However, when the door opened and the couple entered the restaurant, Emma’s stomach dropped.
The woman had a thick scarf around her neck, despite the 82°C, and her face was hidden behind large sunglasses. The man looked disheveled and tense. They immediately stood out from the friendly customers Emma used to serve. It was clear that the man was significantly older than the girl and they seemed to have an unusual relationship.
Approaching their table, Emma tried to maintain her politeness, but the man barely acknowledged her, grumbling over their drink orders. The girlfriend did not make eye contact and remained silent. This unusual behavior deeply destabilized Emma. She raised her concerns with a co-worker, who dismissed them, saying weird people were common in the restaurant.
Although she tried to ignore the couple, Emma couldn’t help but notice that the girl was avoiding eye contact and refusing to speak. She decided to focus on her other tables, as her shift was coming to an end. However, the situation took a bizarre turn when the girl asked for her towels to be checked. Emma initially didn’t find anything unusual, but upon closer inspection she discovered a hidden message on one of the napkins.
Panicked, Emma reported the situation to her manager, who immediately called 911. The restaurant’s doors were locked to prevent the couple from leaving. Emma waited impatiently for the police to arrive. When they finally arrived, she let them in. The officers read the note which revealed an abusive situation. They arrested the man, bringing relief to the girl who had been trapped in an abusive relationship for months.
The girl was grateful, but as she took off her sunglasses, Emma noticed a bruise around one of her eyes. The abusive relationship had finally ended and the abuser was taken into custody, bringing an end to a painful ordeal.
