They reached Bette and the man pointed the gun to her head, "everything you got in the bag now bitch."

Bette nodded and moved up to her knees with her hands above her head. Patty and Mary did the same. They quietly dropped their wallets, cellphones, watches, and jewelry in the bag.

"Hey!" The man yelled pointing the gun at Mary, "give me the necklace."

"Please sir," Mary pleaded, "this necklace belonged to my brother who died when he was nine. It’s the last thing I have of him."

Bette’s eyes filled with tears as she turned to look at Mary. She saw the pain and sorrow in her eyes. She really did feel bad.

"I don’t fucking care bitch!" The man yelled shaking his gun, "give it to me!"

"Please!" Mary cried.

"Give it to him Mary!" Patty cried.

"Shut the fuck up!" The gunman said hitting Patty in the face with the back of his hand.

"Patty!" Mary cried.

"Give it!" The man with the bag said pulling the necklace off her neck.

"No!" Mary cried lunging for the necklace.

Bette in a rage of anger yanked the necklace out of his hand and pushed Mary aside roughly. The loud shot of the machine gun sounded as the doors opened for the NYPD Swat team. Only two shots managed to get out before a highly skilled sniper took out the gunman and another took out the man with bag who had reached for his shot gun.

Mary cried out and knelt next to Bette who was laying next to her with her eyes closed and blood seeping out of her chest and right shoulder.

A young cop was at their side in seconds as Patty tried to calm down the hysterical Mary. "Medic!" He yelled loudly then grabbing his walkie talkie, "a woman has been shot twice we need a medic now!"

Bette looked around at the commotion going on around her. There she was standing there watching the young cop staying professional and the people in restaurant going into a full out panic.

She looked down at her own body. She looked asleep but she knew it was deeper than that. She looked at Mary who was crying over body and begging, "please Bette you can’t die! Tina needs you! Tina needs you!"
