When?

Chapter 5

I watched as one of my co-worker walked over to their booth but just like yesterday, he sent them to fetch me

He walked up to me about to open his mouth

"I know what you're going to say," I gave a slight smile, sighing and heading over there, not wanting anymore problems with the manager. She was still kind of upset that I dozed off in the middle of work and spilled water about the place

"What would you like to order?" I stood by their booth

He pushed the menu aside and looked up at me, a smirk playing on the edge of his lips

"What do you have?"

Instead of arguing with him I just told him what we had which caused the smirk to fall, being replaced with a frown. I won't let him ruin this job for me. If I just do my job and get through, then that's enough

"So what would you like," I waited for any of them to order so I can place it

"I'd like for you to act normal. I don't like the fact that you're actually doing your job instead of insulting me. It's fun to get you angry,"

"As in what would you like to order,"

"I still don't like her," the squeaky voice guy spoke

"It doesn't matter if you like me or not. I'm not trying to impress anyone or make myself, in any way or form, likable. Especially not to you anyways," 

"Does this chick not know that I will hurt her," he chuckled, glancing at his friends

"There is nothing you can do to me that I haven't already been through. And if you're to put a hand on a female then obviously you weren't raised well. Whenever you're ready to order please notify one of my co-workers and they'll gladly take your order. Now if you'll excuse me," I turned on my heal and walked away from the booth, leaving them to chat among themselves

About an hour later I saw him leave with his groupies and I let out a sigh of relief. They didn't even order anything. They just came here to annoy the crap out of me and unfortunately for them, it didn't happen. I smiled to myself knowing that I did good

My shift ended and I stepped out, feeling the cool air come in contact with my face, it's quite late so the road was more or less empty. Today was kind of good I guess, I even got a few tips for all my hard work. 

My brief moment of delight was cut short when I felt my body being pulled into the alley way beside the restaurant, my mouth being covered to muffle my screams

"Scream and I'll shoot you, you understand?" I felt something cold being placed against my temple. 

A gun

I gulped nervously, nodding my head

"I'm serious. Make ANY sudden movements or make any noise and i'll blow your fucking brains out," he said and I nodded again. He removed his hand from my mouth

"What I want you to do is give me all your valuables. Money, watch, phone anything of value,"

"I can't do that," I shook my head, my voice trembling, hands shaking

"I wasn't asking!" he pressed the gun further

The pay that I get barely even carries me through the day. How am I going to get home if he takes all of my money? Who am I going to call if he takes my phone. The only phone the restaurant has is in the managers office and she's already gone, locked up her office and everything
