"Were those the new friends?""No."
"Are you sure? They match the description the bartender gave."
"Yeah I'm sure."
"Did your boyfriends hit you?"
"Oh. . . uh?"
"And it's no use lying miss we only want to help you both."
"Yeah they did," Alex said looking sad.
"What else did they do to you?"
"Well. . . " Faith said looking to Alex only to rush to her side as she went into a caughing fit having swallowed the wrong way.
"Oh gods!" She groaned wrapping her arms around her ribs turning red.
"Miss?" The lead cop asked getting worried.
"Oh I. . . can't. . . breathe. . ." she said and passed out.
"Damn!" The cop swore and caught her.
"She's got allergies and they've been really acting up," Faith said.
"I don't think that's what caused this miss.
"She's had this happen before," Faith said.
"Are you sure?" He asked frowning.
"Very. Just lay her on the couch."
"Very well," he said and did so.
"Is that all? I need to stay with her."
"Yes I think that's all."
They left and Faith let out a sigh.
Five minutes later Alex woke with a groan and let Faith help her sit up.
"Are they gone?" Alex asked.
"Yeah. Are you ok?" Faith asked worried.
"Not really, but I think I'll be fine."
Faith let out a sigh as there was another knock on the door. She got up and answered it to find the bartender.
"Hay Sam, what's up?"
"Did two cops talk to you both?" He asked as he walked in.
"Yeah. About that Sam, are you sure you got the descriptions right?" Alex asked.
"Yeah I'm sure. Why?"
"Well, there were so many people there. It's easy to get confused," she said in a hypnotic voice.
"Yeah so many people. . . now that you mention it I'm not even sure what they looked like," he said eyes glazing over.
"Well then, why don't you go and let the cops know. They need to have the right descriptions or they could go after the wrong guys," Faith said.
"Huh? Oh yeah your right. What was I thinking. Well I'll see you both later," he said and left.
Alex shared a grin with Faith.
