Pizza Shop Worker Spots Coded Message In Customer’s Order, Calls Cops Straight Away

Pizza Hut manager Candy’s face washes blank with confusion like her brain cogs can’t turn fast enough to take in the information from her wide eyes. Every muscle of her body freezes before she starts feeling her heartbeat in her throat.

She was stood reading an order from a customer called Cheryl, while her red-faced colleagues were scurrying around. But Candy’s face was white as chalk. She had to do something. And she had to be quick.

It Was An Ordinary Day

It started as just an ordinary day for Cheryl. She kissed her boyfriend Adam goodbye as he left for work, she dropped their three kids off at school, and now she was about to bake her friend a belated birthday cake.

But just as she dollops her cake mixture into the tin, Adam walks in through the back door stumbling over the table. His eyes were bloodshot and the stench of alcohol lingered in the air. He slurs his speech before taking a look at Cheryl.

His bloodshot eyes fixated on her.

Something Was Wrong

Cheryl asked what was wrong but Adam just keeps muttering the same word over and over again. Satan. Satan. Satan. His tone was stern and it sent a shiver down Cheryl’s spine.

Then suddenly, he launches for Cheryl before grabbing a blade from the kitchen counter. She stumbles backward falling into a vase by the window, tears already welling in her eyes. But he wasn’t done yet.

Trapped Inside

As Cheryl reached for her cellphone Adam snatched it out of her hand. “You’re not leaving,” he mutters, specks of saliva spitting from his mouth.

“You’re not going anywhere.” His fists were clenched and he started to pace up and down the kitchen. Sat on the floor, Cheryl attempts to calm herself down, her breathing steady, her mind still focused. She had to think of a way to escape.

Thinking Of A Plan

Without her cellphone, Cheryl couldn’t call the police, and screaming for help, she knew, would likely not have the results she wanted. So she did the one thing she knew would work. She appealed to Adam’s sense of fatherhood.

She had to pick the kids up from school.
