Listening to music while swiping off the floor was probably not a good idea. Being completely oblivious to who walked in and out of the store was not good either but how could someone act responsible when nothing had ever happened in the neighborhood? It was just an ordinary day, in an ordinary city.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxajWfjn3K
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEokEAcnAbC
The cashier was watching her closely. She wasn't even swiping the floor correctly but she was listening to loud music and was using the broomstick to entertain herself. The peculiar creature was dancing, mouthing the lyrics and chewing gum. The cashier shook his head dismissively.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XPpvg5CwB
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6KQOP0eRB
"You're done for today, Evan."1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97vkJpyVC7
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEeBA5Ag2W
The boy sighed in relief and put down his hat. He went in the back to get his things and left his boss with the girl.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCzA1qyhiE
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV35qMVHcTi
She didn't even see him entering the store because she was too busy waving her hands around. The girl was perplexed when she hit her boss straight in the ribs and pulled one earphone out while making a balloon with the gum.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wuE9uvuvg
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8OLDwRtDD
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBmxMnP9Kh
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzgIy8FfcL
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz1M3GYw1v
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelcDwcLRvT
"Is that why I pay you, Abby? If I wanted you to offer a show to the customers, I would have told you." He snapped, his loud voice echoing through the empty store.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmSrZdNvDu
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X1ByBWmdW
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVihb81lUk
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd7ftoYWe4
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI6kOa7SQu
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvuYv03OcH
"Clean."1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFew5NFa5Rf
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTLcdeNfcK
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IlZNgz3qx
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKkrOOyKiQ
A few minutes later, while the cashier was still preparing to leave and the girl was trying her best not to dance again, three men dressed in expensive flashy suits entered the store. None looked better than the other, their styles were pretty much the same yet their suits were different colors. Unlike those old gangster movies, these men looked dangerous but at the same time, a bit silly with their hair gelled back.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBXzeYZF6h
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhqmVrevsM
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDu3mJofzd
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymXPqs2DUL
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZnbnWtm4Q
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8gM2zm0aS
Abby raised an eyebrow and leaned her whole weight on the broom, chewing gum loudly while watching the scene unfold. The guy in the middle was a bit taller than the others and held some kind of authority. Too bad his suit was dark red and he was a blond which, in Abby's mind, didn't work well.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8tfXoptiC
Evan never anticipated suspense in his life and working in a store was not exactly life-threatening so when he opened the door and walked out of the back room, his eyes widened at the sight of the three men. He didn't have to be a genius to figure out they were dangerous so, with one hand closed the door as silently as possible and sneaked out really slowly, hiding behind the counter. ?It was closer to the door and he could easily sneak out if the chubby man from the right would move further into the store.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoC0ls6U5C
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfS3lNTjHH
"Look, I said I was going to pay in time. The month isn't up yet." Dewy stated feverishly, placing his hands on his waist.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIjOP3zodV
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFX6JabKuj
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrF3IKs3uz
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Wn8yHe1C
"That's the thing, Dewy. I don't make the rules," He slapped his hands together and pointed upwards. "He does." He said before he glanced at Abby. She was a few feet from them. "Come here, kid."1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAfTv5DmcK
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9azqfUpBEQ
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAzf2cpwBW
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aiRxR9b67
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPYkQLn6K7
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdA82P1XTx
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAbO6VAtrk
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P4gg5rq87
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdORCCYuxL
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapFySalKDl
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPPfV1k3bz
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNryg8OZd1a
"You little-"1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TRw5fnBWD
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqq462GRHh
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5KCSfbshS
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNxnGc6p8n
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9h3dxofHw
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJj0h4Gda7
The manager closed his eyes but nothing happened. Dewy opened one eye to peek at the dangerous men before a loud shooting sound echoed throughout the store. Evan, who was hiding behind the counter, flinched. He tried to keep silent by covering hsi mouth so no one would actually notice him.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dZNuGNjRG
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgqN3efT8J
When the shot went through the manager's head, blood got spilled on Abby's cheek. Her eyes widened and her heart stopped for a minute. She turned to the three men and gulped, thinking that she will follow her former boss shortly.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr9wFNEabR
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKPaKibdLE
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPyKNoNhzn
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPKJ3Jxxey
"You're not half bad, kid. You'd bring good money if you'd get a proper training." He added, his eyes never leaving her frame.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTXm3BBFc7
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z8iZnYfLC
It was sickening from every point of view, especially Evan's. He was too scared to move but he did; he creeped out, trying to see who died and if the chubby man moved. Luckily, he did and Evan suddenly got an idea.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgwpbtwAuH
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO7ASpH09P
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqIVOqydmD
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kHWQ20DDk
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XMFpzPVNm
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8Hkmr37jB
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLMKUQ1TvM
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVFUIW8m48
Evan couldn't stand there and do nothing, especially after someone already died. He hid behind the counter and stuck his head out to see her. He made a sign with his head towards the door before mouthing the word Run!. Luckily, she noticed and understood but she needed a diversion in order to run.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnSpiC7jbA
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDclfOIYyJG
With no better idea, Abby smiled goofily and took a step closer to the blond. She spat the gum in his eye, surprising him and also Evan. However, that proved to be enough to make him fuss over, stumbling around, far from her.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegmQ9njZT6
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkRYRlqXnc
Evan grabbed her hand, seeing how she wasn't moving towards the door, and they ran out of the store. They could hear the gunshots and the angry screams behind and Abby glanced over her shoulder, the goofy smile still wide on her face.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtfqjBw7ez
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujCZnEDVNB
"Ugly and chubby are running after us!" she shouted as if Evan wasn't next to her, "We're too slow! They're going to catch up! Or even worse, call for backup!" She added.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7AWE0so4L
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCMX7AvSAY
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCuceG34KP
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6D1aS1Sgc
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVzDKlfygK
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKarv50I1v
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtP9YwJrTZ
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5rEyCIRkh
"We have to! Do you want to get caught? They're going to kill me and make you a prostitute!" He started, visibly overreacting but at the same time, she realized they might do that after she spat gum in his eye.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF034i5jTo
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4kE67RRtr
They didn't have a choice and ran in the middle of the street, Evan jumping in front of what looked like an average car. The driver stomped on the break and rolled down the windo, giving perfect opportunity for evan to open the door and pull him out forcefully.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdYBkAzrw4
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbeJEwfj1K
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKXVHuDJdb
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1FkDvHQKq
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZoz5TSQka
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeaxGvwY7Y
The man screamed and almost hit Evan but the boy rolled up the window and stepped on the acceleration, getting them out of there as soon as possible. The common man started to run after them but they were moving too fast. His car was gone.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviWgNEL1HN
"Oh my God,"1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGfiNwJ9pi
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoiVxOF9Qk
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZETwSLgwe9
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KRz1gBov6
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcpoBBZDcA
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXAiQSWDSN
Indeed, no one was following them. Abby took a last look behind before she rolled up her window and turned to the driver. Her behavior suddenly changed: her eyes were shining and she looked excited instead of being scared.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAirW1FemN
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aJS0x2YrL
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpKvbhidLS
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXobupGeDV
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNNg8egdbq
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e5D7aH3mr
"Are you crazy? We witnessed our boss being killed. They won't let us go easily. If they see us, they kill us." He added, gripping the wheel at the thought.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TopNHFaVJ
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzxivANs42
"I know. It feels like I'm dreaming. One minute he was there and next-" She slapped her hands together loudly. "Bam! He's dead and-" She remembered the blood on her cheek and wiped it off. "Isn't this just crazy?!"1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghyMBlzz9o
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR8bh2BrZ3
Evan rolled his eyes and decided she was still feeling the adrenalineso she was thinking she was in an action movie not in a real life threatening situation.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp937cogrX
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrBsCOjGCS
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIwtkMVMZw
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZVAB94ncR
Evan was a nice guy who worked three jobs to pay his scholarship. Being dragged into a misunderstanding with the mob and being in a car with an insane girl wasn't exactly the way he wanted to spend the night; or any night for that matter.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ090tyFX03w
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1Y4qXlXtD
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLF9RojGQe
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxT7EULgfc
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTiTVoynKH
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1a9mnoTCX
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnibsAWr1O
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjqnoumP9N
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz58n2jREfx
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfoAVo6UQU
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQs19Q7isj
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hlSD7Rtce
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vDdejWC78
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tTixxDJWv
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MDVC5nVqX
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyqSoP785H
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPvDzuom0s
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiwmwT6VPS
"Abigail Lincoln and Evan Graham," Her eyes widened at the husky voice, "Do you know the number one rule in my business?"He asked, sounding like he was smoking while talking to her because he was taking short breaks while speaking,"Never leave witnesses. Let's keep in touch."1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lKR8xFqd4
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOThsGPivPL
That was all before he hung up.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWNzoKxDgZ
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPia4J32lAj
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PeikRfXxC
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb3d3N0fN1
Abby couldn't look him in the eye. Even though she was acting all brave a few minutes ago, the color in her cheeks and the glint in her eyes disappeared.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumE3QkUwFz
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGNmRqsSbq
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8glR4YyALl
1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacPNmybjl4
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1518Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZWIPFZaUd
