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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxvAVFGPZG
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKQs8cM0ZW
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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekuGOVzl7w
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9AOVcdqhW
"You're done for today, Evan."1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03n41EgoGC
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDQK6cVAIX
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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPPvQRglF0
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cFeYjuCvR
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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLj80ON9Yw
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeMlZESQ30
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaMjemdnLU
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGlFjuBXId
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUUPG4Iici
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxhHagD2Zp
"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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvBczCH4NS
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXJS8J4FMk
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHVzWdvJRA
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bcPXocIVN
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVf408BGyd
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NhTC30ex8
"Clean."1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSeKRyqRpI
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWAVaWMm8c
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpqYVwYz8R
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yN8eM0LNv
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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eyuPi1sMT
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq4YsPEUzA
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrhmRSG4tK
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx2WdMJioB
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TDCseWRCP
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DRNYdebbn
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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxxwFLG7Eo
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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqugCIzNH6u
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHOgGwQ7yk
"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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AwTsw3CBK
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskVxoTzU4t
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkgzxZeyx1
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxYrj7ufId
"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."1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X5xwPMQsh
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwYChHEBbO
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqQUecbk4N
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmQnElPRUh
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEhYUV01zz
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlbFnt9IoJ
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFwqnnJtZn
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QuQgUFb4H
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PTgKl8vUX
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfCPQQ9tRX
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSAut9Ydqf
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv0fShmLGW
"You little-"1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYLuvcFbcy
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MWkqGxS2R
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79MShcrvkQ
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQkTetFo0e
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhu7YvG4Oc
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP8KoBE9vB
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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNQjK9Bwdm
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTSMCkMKWr
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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MIJZJVPbw
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUIcBBixnb
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRkLidjJgl
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzrtclSEdS
"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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7FAegVGer
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ373epcA51b
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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRtufZA8Aa
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YWE403cr3
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX8HEEwmd1
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrTl6bRpyV
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZizb0EdQI
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BwtgVaQw4
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DKRJcg4ur
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWEIQfI7OE
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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjGB7b3NpP
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXzrDL72MM
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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFLIuCWQo6
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXyGE7BrqH
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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiZwEZ4Rmq
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT01WBRljkb
"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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8NccSMyJx
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2elsQ6vwdv
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoonPP3smb
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJa257e8IO
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pGSZZRXSK
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak3RrsHjy4
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5Z9lAzv0O
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcJ3l7DhpJ
"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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0VO6CPUHI
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCCwmJ4w98
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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgurav4Gkrx
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MHVKxsypI
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCrW3j0kVv
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3xxieCjU2
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYrFXTMgFQ
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRvME1DYM6
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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv9uElfA0h
"Oh my God,"1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYCYmqUZzj
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MhIwmwEcE
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgArMbGKM7
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1pfkURYxq
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE2fVatH8J
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuFkfeKrK6
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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lVqJnApUK
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMmJulpR1t
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScjlx5a8cM
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fT9Rrmyo5
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcz1nzZJk6
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY1lHhEggm
"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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcEHFso4wx
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTwsXdVMQU
"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?!"1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bCivVG1iA
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDUxzzbelc
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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja675kDqla
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SELcKjWKq
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIliJz4z7Av
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi14yzySy4
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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosuO6CjLCz
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQblGgigKF
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXhqvtwTr3
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobLMIfzkMa
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ1a0JTdVR
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6X9Gn6FLn
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RoipSDWPK
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbnXspaDoi
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUAZnXmASU
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVkwzqO704
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVFCBzsAU5
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL78HOyBR0
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHeEPbMpEx
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRIlS1hoGr
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNa5EqkyML
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S0SEaW0eF
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUnFVUoDpF
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKPhdhqhJ1
"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."1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCcP0QQwey
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY5OVQwXjZ
That was all before he hung up.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRmh4olT3r
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgyFu7pQ7B
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1hq1pRoFK
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBC7a1Y04M
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.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB17f5fYVyf
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSMjErMcA3
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYQ2OAsI0g
1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISAVQAJCwQ
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1430Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEhm4hQyWU
