[ WP ] While spending time with a friend , you notice that they are wearing body armor beneath their clothes .

I'm pretty good at noticing strange behaviors in people, especially when they are sweating while in an air conditioned restaurant and have an untouched steak in front of them. Living in Cali can turn you into an open minded guy, so I pretty much got used to weird behaviors and ridiculous outfits, but something about this did n't seem right. Jim kept fidgeting with his wedding ring. I could have assumed the best, maybe the business was making him paranoid, maybe he just left a shooting range and decided to leave the vest on, maybe he liked the feel of it. But of course I'm not an idiot, I trusted him. I tried to survey my surroundings inconspicuously and I spotted 2 tall and mean looking gentlemen sitting down, I guess they have n't decided what they want to order, or they possibly just wanted to kill me. This is where I start getting nervous, I know if I try to run towards the door I'll just get shot to death so I ca n't try to leave. Jim is awfully quiet too and that is rare since the guy has and endless knowledge of useless facts and can drag out mundane stories for hours. 
 
 Yours Truly: `` So Jimmy how's Karen?'' I finally break the silence. 
 
 Jim: `` Uh, she's good, she feels like shit though, creating babies is n't a joke'' 
 
 
 Yours Truly: `` I completely understand, human life is not a laughing matter. Right Jim?'' 
 
 
 I think he noticed the sarcastic tone but It's too late to ask him if he did. I mean, it was obvious that what I said fazed him a bit, but he still tried to play it off. 
 
 
 Jim: `` You know I'm not much of a comedian'' 
 
 
 Yours Truly: `` You're right, but you used to be a much better liar'' 
 
 
 Jim: `` What's that supposed to mean?'' 
 
 
 Yours Truly: “ It means that why the fuck do you have body armor on at fucking dinner'' 
 
 
 That got him. That stare was so fucking creepy man, I felt molested. 
 
 
 Jim: `` Mark, I have to.'' 
 
 
 Mark: `` No, you really do n't Jimmy.'' 
 
 
 Jim: `` You do n't understand, I have people to protect, I'm not like you anymore, I have people to take care of, just let this happen and only one person gets hurt.'' 
 
 
 Mark: `` You know that I'm a big fan of collateral damage.'' 
 
 
 We just kept looking at each other dead in the eyes for a full minute 
 He finally gets up quickly and throws the chair behind him, putting us in the attention of the `` gentlemen''. I grabbed him by his suit and put him in a headlock. I quickly used him as a shield just before the 2 men started shooting. I used him as cover for a few bullets then threw him at them, I knew he was dead because a bit of his brain got in my hair. I quickly ducked and ran to the kitchen using the people and confusion as cover. When I got there most of the staff was outside or making they're way. I put on a chef coat that was laying on the ground and a hair net. I followed one of the last employees outside and when we got to the exit I could already hear sirens, which was good and bad. I stepped through the door and into the alley, and a couple of people looked at me for half a second but they quickly dismissed me. I had a feeling that the guys were still looking for me unless they shot themselves witch would have been great. I made my way across the alley and after I got to the sidewalk I took off the coat and hairnet started running at full speed, I did n't have anywhere to go but I had to go somewhere even if it was nowhere.
