<p>I tried not to look at the men so that I could focus on keeping my movements silent. I certainly did not want to be detected. It was impossible however to keep my eyes completely off the terrifying drama unfolding before me. I was certain they planned to kill the man and I had no way of helping him. The best I could do was get to safety and call the police. I had slunk my way to the left of them and was right alongside the river now. I crept along keeping a wary eye on the men. I don't know whether I gasped screamed or made a sudden movement but suddenly both sets of eyes of the evil men turned towards me just as the shot sounded. I ran as fast as I could ignoring the ripping pain in my side and jumped off the edge into the rushing water below.</p>
