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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpz9ygLpEH
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtzAf3rlaY
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOpF3SqcGm
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreZoSm9FV8
"You're done for today, Evan."1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgY2nxO7DH
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpuQPrs7YW
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFMs3CG1xZ
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3SYeHdWF6
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfcq7TccaM
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3wSzDlVwE
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIpILiZstE
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11isaySCjp
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLdpiDFXYA
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPLu3AZNyk
"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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MmQqT24FP
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFL1O26CkB
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC2t1NKEgp
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDz3kNVw2d
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ17Gag0dVT
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4FxiOTKM9
"Clean."1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgfyE7sV1Y
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0VJHdMUpa
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DtORMMhSt
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8Tqazpnkv
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBTK60YLl9
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cpc48zbAG
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS7qbyKVGV
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptPfDrXDP6
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8JRjXaIxL
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xSW3J6dH7
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg7e98LfxX
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbGcLpOenp
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJyXG5tSsY
"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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39UVO6zmFp
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSLBLRnWVL
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd2byIIrBE
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMGpSusyHn
"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."1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubNUqEvsCV
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqRIEVFebU
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0QIuXuVT6
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vO4ygcsZc
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYW0uxvCpx
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRULoJsTBiv
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSvzFZzo1j
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZSjXgCyrA
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqIwPPX86Z
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSHvgQJGnP
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToBYCPBlab
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwAse1Fx2C
"You little-"1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbIdy9pfr3
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmFo1ozfPW
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eulTMb5P7
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUwh4H9pKd
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YbPAjwdQM
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwpaEAJhcU
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLZwZ23zc9
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG2xA2nJG7
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEENQBXGVX
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6e0n4plJF
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPFpcuJaqt
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2EE2Mktqm
"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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIbVGDYCGY
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbunlfOd8vd
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB3OFhiGPf
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQoCM7gHdt
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6Mlhggj2W
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntP9GUcnyt
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqfbqKmzMb
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxRUeZffIz
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbSVdCOsd1
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TlC2idex3
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeUwXGQs85
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxZ8p7WTWU
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwOHsBvGUN
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4ajmTPVpd
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KLTjU6rlL
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGB10EYjM3
"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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19JxsJ4HMc
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokAzwSB8lS
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuBroguNJg
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrZtBQjrz0
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWfdp1FIWG
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsx0FwTtTh
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1qjPsHanr
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i6Dt7neEa
"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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3thL6QITDh
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzij8MNq1O
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq7wJvdcMM
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QdXq1fYly
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobEa1lJIcc
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPLjFNBQPI
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFPMzKHrNM
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlOYHKvI3v
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ2ajbwEO8
"Oh my God,"1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAlvNCAWob
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3X5sD55gq
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLYODuIlpC
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP6xnmpYat
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu93vN5V7U
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43lxbm9v8D
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfex90sSfT3
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6i8SFHPzB
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoNtSQLiUK
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe6UidmVp5
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I2VEJgECw
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac3cFUU9U3
"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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESLuuJQME8
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28gmD1I74h
"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?!"1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7IkFKlore
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1TmOS2WBQ
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeUzHAh9H7
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVRzuAYyre
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiT89Nlsxw
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBzmRGUCCI
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEeE0cIuni
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquOZcki1rW
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77jv0PvWUw
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYPKuMvPPS
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI1xrGLSk4
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhgOaPGLfm
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRY9w7uvul
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcb7ADCaXE
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHqPKEUtpJ
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQXuxOVf4q
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1IXf3aonb
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8BBo35YBg
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3FxIvXR0d
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuo6daC2r0
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjvNGGMgur
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh35RN0l03
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetlNDq3RfL
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPulbaMbcr
"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."1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzjjio8fHO
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDYCv0Nv9M
That was all before he hung up.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOJxk1QhCn
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3MrjdrGkY
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuEHeaUVXS
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN63ti3Ja4a
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PWz0MGppI
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkLvMmbbu1
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgzHJqQikq
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt1TZcChql
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnM9cgUGYJ
