Sally Jones sat at the table in the restaraunt nervously biting her fingernails. Her eyes darted from side to side as she scanned the room. She looked at the meal in front of her, but couldn't bring herself to take a bite. Her long black skirt flowed down to her ankles, she wore flat shoes, and a grey blouse. This was so different to what she used to wear, she thought. In fact, she hadn't even bothered to think about how she dressed in the past, but now, things were different.

"You're thinking about him aren't you?" her friend Rena interupted her thoughts.

"What?" Sally replied, sheepishly.

"I brought you out for dinner to take your mind off things. I wish you would just relax Sally."

"Please Sally, just sit down, and rest for a minute."

"I'll never rest again, not until he's found."

Rena jumped from her chair as she realized her friend was about to throw the table. Sally grabbed hold of the table with both hands, and threw it as hard as she could. The table landed upside down about 10 feet away from her. It bounced into a couple who huddled against a wall as the table went passed them, and crashed into the wall. A waiter tryed to reach for Sally, but she was having none of that, she kicked him on the leg. The waiter was hurt, but still managed to restrain Sally. She sunk her teeth into his hand, which held
