[WP] You are on a date with a beautiful woman. Everything is going smoothly, until you notice a man in a corner booth watching you...

"Elaine," I hissed. She looked up from her lap. I looked at the man staring at me from the corner of my eye. I'd recognized him instantly. With the widest, most fake grin I had ever adorned my face with, I continued, "Don't look now, but your ex-boyfriend is in the corner booth. He's looking. Staring. At us." I paused to let that sink in. Elaine looked up from her lap and at me in alarm. "No," she moaned softly, "oh god, no-" "What do we do?" I asked. He got up. I looked at him for a moment, and got up too. Heads turned towards us. Elaine began sobbing helplessly, and I heard her mumble the words "Eldtrich, don't, he'll kill you" repeatedly. "Nobody's going to die," I assured. Her ex-boyfriend strode towards me with long steps. "You crazy fucking-give her the fuck back. I'm calling the cops on you, psycho." We stared at each other. "You don't give her back, and I'll fucking kill you. I got a gun. I don't give a shit. I'll kill you right here." I looked at him right in the eye and said, "Face it. She's left you. You try to stalk her and snatch her, and I'll kill you. She's out of your life. I ever see you-" Fast as a viper, he reached into his waistband and pulled out a gun. People squealed. Glasses shattered. I casually put my hand into my pocket. You don't scare me, the gesture said. "ELDTRICH, NO!" Elaine screamed. The man looked at her and began, "I-" I pulled the pocketknife out of my pocket and, faster than the metaphorical viper, stabbed him. He gasped, and gurgled, and looked at me disbelievingly. I tore the knife out of him and stabbed him again. Elaine began screaming. I tore the knife out of him and stabbed him again. And again. And again. He fell. I heard people screaming all around me. Elaine rushed towards Eldtrich's body, moaning unintelligibly. I grabbed her wrists and said,"Let's go." "No. No. NO! LET ME GO! PLEASE, I'LL DO ANYTHING-"
