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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhlGn26Pqg
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gCIogXZrP
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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPPNLR0TQz
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLmgBr2wL5
"You're done for today, Evan."1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgEM4mv51A
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF7GW9Ac9Z
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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TnAIi7lx9
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQSdAefBdi
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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HU8zjcJPe
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCna9x0B9Fc
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukPPVMs9yX
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W0KfcJB0S
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUFhex2pZl
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9yAUnaJhX
"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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb4yTCgcKB
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeTranOjbq
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR5agudkWy
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYCtQz9Fbx
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeRusEZCm1
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV7076o3JY
"Clean."1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidHPCpB0D6
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3JnuaMqRz
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcpjVsVSRo
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Ex0c2xtI
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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsgLoQBOr8
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oA8GA8GCg
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNNX30I3cb
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgph8ZGzRn
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTwoMo0d0e
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpehahgxxfH
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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki4uHSnq2V
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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlaPAWFYKF
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w0ubYkpRU
"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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqjKYv01Ai
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGbzR94iUE
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx3oZOGJXE
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bV2943wiN
"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."1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u9aynGF78
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilMtLpkusE
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EMYH19fM2
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vIZMlJr9S
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL5EpVRV6p
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifIDIQPA9S
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1Xdy8R6MH
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF0jnqKeBR
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCt8R538kp
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmLcW1gtdE
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlJw35mspQ
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcKln5lGP9
"You little-"1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97DYHqSDjT
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07tY5zDuVS
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQuFMaThIe
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL68gSzuqB
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVepEEMWQaO
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn3FiDDLs9
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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyQFr6U7sK
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPYrNcwizA
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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXqVpKYL7k
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOXxjdO3GE
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x2kc3YQTM
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkKCDnZuSS
"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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyECiCqE5TX
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmi9tjvRvg
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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKr34GxLcm
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJgsA5iXUD
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbSOA6Do2F
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym5NOzY269
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiz9Ubj9zS
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SjrDuuUmQ
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul5ulORQnu
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiQpAnYE7B
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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxemOXgcWha
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs9zZ930rX
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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJdU4p4llB
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh3GdFfOI4
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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDdqODVE13
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONfZrcn5nT
"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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrT2jSO7XV
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3C5ahAc90
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzO61gYMCe
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHRHMb5a2F
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG4XtWGUTT
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjjkEj2TGQ
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDRGzLNvMj
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIKskNxblW
"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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY0FFS1lq1
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RDCW9pG7n
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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOTVA6ZoaW
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnWV1X70KX
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3ezTNce0y
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbAmqAxrpA
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXBIRDWGH6
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrrujsEPas
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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTnKDyJ2ao
"Oh my God,"1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YNB1GViiQ
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpKExvt4ir
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U1GhxV3Z3
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW9pOqxcrR
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5LNzy4BoB
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1fuNU1arU
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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa89n2sYCWZ
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLugvvhlEl
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mu7BYa4J0
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWPSp5VpIq
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YjXb7p997
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvhnngwKRh
"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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI75PBxMNe
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi1xbi2Vui
"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?!"1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE95RkYa6x
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3THHLuKgLK
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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxncO5h6BP
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNJ6KrLU7G
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCoVz8Nx9f
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0LXlPppdn
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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOYU3weH65
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFUurPM8gN
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f3E1BJrRy
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpebqvyBjH
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJeBUmAvcA
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb3PB01Sbc
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8mPrP0uQN
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzmaeByzIG
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXdeoTdDaX
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyggxXw1wiZ
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JKXnAts9C
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE7v52QuAI
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtEu8oBZv4
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpAu6iuJ87
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNRfY3GX8v
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtedajaPNgM
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ00k3oevqK
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyco4lIvhMK
"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."1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzlZM2u5kz
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzarrNyZGu
That was all before he hung up.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgEqLuQ7I3
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y1drG7dZ6
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaLNXaOoFE
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziozJGQmeK
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.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNco27pCoR
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WqL98uwII
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE51pES2XK
1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SvrrdkHYz
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYP8mez0Y3
