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 was quite surprised to see her here. It was definitely the same person from the photo. Jerry got up and began to walk towards her.

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.

He reached into his back pocket, pulling out his pocket knife extremely slowly. If he was going down, it wouldn't be without a fight.
