Night Owls

Jerry glanced down at the photograph in his hand, then back up again at the woman sitting alone at the back of the cafe.

He tucks the photograph away and puts his hand in his suit jacket inside pocket. Jerry sits down next to this woman, hand still tucked away. “You are a vey hard woman to reach”.

All at once a blinding light coursed through the space. Jerry and the woman froze. And then a creature appeared, seemingly from the air itself.

“Hey pooch, get over here”, the creature heads to Jerry’s side and drops a man’s arm. “See, your husband was much easier to get ahold of, unfortunately for him.” He pulls out his silenced gun and shoots the woman in the gut.
