Over the next few days things only kept getting worse as far as customers were. As for Joan, she was only mean to me when Diane was off or after she'd left for the day. As for Marcus he'd come see me and share a smile and a few words with me. He would also watched out for Joan so as to make sure she wasn't around before coming to see me. I later found out that he'd even witnessed a few times when Joan was verbally abusive to me, and that he was tempted to acted a lot soon then he did.
Then one day as I was walking into the store I saw Marcus or it looked like Marcus. Then again it couldn't be could it, he was wearing a police uniform, and we'd never really talked about his job. Who ever it was it looked like he was talking with Diane who seemed very concerned and worried. I didn't really have the time to say hi to Diane or to see if it was even him or not, because I was already late for my twelve hour shift.
