“Pulling in a frightened breath, she turned to scan the deli. Probably just the after effects of too many cups of coffee. She held her breath awhile longer before letting it out slowly. Even though she knew she was being silly, it didn’t stop her eyes from darting around the room, moving from one patron to the next. From the guys in the queue behind her, most of them familiar faces she had seen here before, to the customers seated at the small number of tables. Adrenaline continued to surge through her veins even though there was nothing out of the ordinary.
It took some effort to force herself to look back towards the service counter as it was nearly her turn to order.
It happened so fast, all the noises in the deli became secondary to the sound of her own heartbeat. One minute standing in the queue, and the next knocked clear across the room. The trip took no time at all, but in her shocked state it seemed to last a lifetime. Her back connected with the far wall leaving her winded and dizzy.
