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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj1OfZi59i
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJu8o7tiyO
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZpOZC9IgS
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkIf5A4vs1
"You're done for today, Evan."1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapYStctpnf
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BjPlVl2ii
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsEer6rces
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhacknyr12
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnVytoBAGX
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiTe8PztM9
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhg1uVJls6
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagtQq8OBFh
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVczLncHIsX
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBPvjHSK5u
"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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTXMm7tQSF
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxU9yEFRBM
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFZASDsl7i
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh97spBbzkB
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGohHWyTWEa
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuSitzSm2t
"Clean."1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQte2P6fkV
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAtyZcR25d
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC4o7Idlws
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xoypmPUC7
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e13gNk50w
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gbl1fr8Rt
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dLssdPZC2
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuNTnqSFmf
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCR31AbgMB
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OsE2vKQRn
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09KpYTWWEK
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8pvsrBsPl
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C8zMMoxzX
"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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjWIKh6YIF
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ViV3Gk022
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazOtcbJR0x
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH93fYanzAK
"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."1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8arM66d3E
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzYeRDJoq1
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGAGB8iDDV
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmGpOdJCdc
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso0fCSeUHk
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvphKtqNvl
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEqznp6ARj
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn6StvGtjn
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5KIk9KGwu
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl1YC40yAa
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH54bLOO1om
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRu6ARqfFJ
"You little-"1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWcwcaTl2L
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUSlyjJA9T
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeMZYfDO03
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEiFYiMnLi
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2xkHszX3a
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYtjPH2keA
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNY2I53p85
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YL7PYlBVg
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ6WomoRG1
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OXseu2l3Q
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliiD2ac4V2
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6seKSR6jvd
"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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bj3mSZs8h
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQRcA70rCg
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfGLbcvLLb
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTP9f85XWn
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4k13l5kE1
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7PzIHwwsh
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8zUzMBgjH
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgV2wsnrNe
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUA7grr7pO
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLxEzpEYcs
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPml4v8DdZw
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAFW2IJfkD
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBuHbVxbwr
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO3NHASCAI
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JvswKaYUN
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5YBNpIHMr
"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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjM7VZyd3r
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhrxeqrfQv
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ITtJomWHC
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzroufl5YgF
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxdHb9Wb7h
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTCiYdij2v
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhjNKts8Zw
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukKYJ2v90H
"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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfGLWG529W
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4KDVweb44
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYxp6KOzUn
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJxzqADT2B
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7synxux7e
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6oTpql6W4
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNVL6ah4Db
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8b518s1UI
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxxRY8B2aM
"Oh my God,"1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9U9gQ6E4O
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fjtcXJXjk
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUkvOHBBxC
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhfKua8xgj
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksry6UAEia
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg8si0DZFk
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jsqeWYc9D
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjBUFFLEJz
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eO4Sm1mXd
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcqoM79CYW
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVZCBSCARe
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLPvx6iohd
"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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdRwCFCGEx
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudOjlcuEHh
"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?!"1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaKNYIJfPX
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMlPsV2mZI
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49b8Lz1nHk
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYFWt8aUek
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3cWrvHOmd
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xBv510nVL
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwflGP3SW9C
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP21yFTh16
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gV2bs1Zh9
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9iPpU84DQ
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIteJaPL7e3
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05Bszh2Ygq
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6JeoYIecb
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkrnbFKYgN
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY91SpIDNV
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWdMoOk0iH
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TQNMxGOJ1
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnQLelSpjW
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoBxUNY1im
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVdGoALXAS
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxAC850Qcs
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiJVpk7ROG
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhFuMb5nLT
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YzQqraUEQ
"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."1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK3tpk6uvb
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3SnalSWAS
That was all before he hung up.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOvqK5RIrf
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeicgnJwwTc
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayIXg0gQ5z
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWMorAWxWg
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.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5untLnwH91
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQTee60ElC
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1IM2zXnZr
1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyaYPB8LRn
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QpTfDH2lx
