From 600 Seconds.

Suddenly I heard a scream. It came from the back alley; high pitched and nearly blood curdling. I jumped over the bar knocking over half-full beer bottles and tumblers of poorly mixed liquor.

“hey god damnit!” a patron yelled.

“Chill!” I yelled as I ran to the back door.

Pushing the door open to show a man holding a woman from behind so her arms were behind her back and another man slapping her silly.

“This doesn’t concern you, get the fuck back in side.”

“Wrong, this is my bar anything that happens on this property concerns me.”

The man pulled a gun. Without thinking I pushed the door fully open as hard as I could. The woman and the man holding her were next to the door so it hit both of them hard and pushed them over into the man holding the gun.

The impact caused him to loose the gun and it dropped to the ground and skidded across the wet cobbled pavement of the back alley.

At this point, several other patrons poured out of the door behind me and the two men got up and ran.

The police were called, the woman was taken away, but nothing has been heard since.
