As you enter through the pristine crystal doors of the restaurant you are immediately welcomed in by the intoxicating aromas of the most delectable cuisines imaginable. You’re ushered in and seated at a small table towards the perimeter of the floor where you can look out at the other diners enjoying their evening.
In your peripheral you recognize a few government officials and what appears to be a very distressed scientist at the only table further removed from the typical diners than you. You don’t intend to eavesdrop but your gaze naturally wanders as the scientist sounds increasingly panicked speaking to the other officials. She seems familiar to you somehow, maybe you’ve seen her in passing at the market, or swiped left on her dating profile, but you can’t seem to place her. While you make your best attempt to look busy while you wait for your meal, your attention once again is directed to the scientist. She’s standing now, with a determined look on her face, although even from where you’re sitting you can feel an unsettling tension.
She raises her voice loud enough for you to hear her say, “This can’t go on any longer. I’ll stop you myself!”.
Suddenly you watch as three men surround her and force her through the back fire exit doors towards the alley. What just happened!? You look around but it seems like you were the only one to witness this.
What do you do next?
Follow the scientist into the alley. Something fishy is going on and someone may need your help.
Or
Stay put. Your food has just arrived and you don’t want it getting cold. Anyhow, this is none of your business.
