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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp72RddAXg
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKURz052Lez
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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubQvUlZEud
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZLNM6SDVX
"You're done for today, Evan."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazZyWfI95r
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaknjur1KX
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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS4GmFR214
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGAPahb8xQ
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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7xkEUC5vJ
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGRzHG9lze
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM98x4EkWLh
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLcli9myaM
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ai2P4TyI5
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlwpVFiPoZ
"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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7eATvXi65
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSESXrAkjG
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C0BX4wYiz
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7Id0s01AC
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTde4iv974
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WSxinAc1E
"Clean."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZYmxTdLFu
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ0BTs0eiF
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25cg7wl9n8
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsAMotM9Uo
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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGfXqQot0g
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yijTWK0i1
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50ZQbpOcTP
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYHVBQNANw
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fsySP8cAb
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbGIcqlKjL
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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyrp5KnK66
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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmVrYwEoqD
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrffe7fsWS5
"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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFAhWL49zc
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjWjfKWYLR
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlzmecDnQH
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCxH6bV5rR
"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."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXPRxUZWdt
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcs4D6FS2g
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gUYPaTTzl
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgT9TmaijX
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvRwba6Udw
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI2TSzqOGI
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZiOeE2pbt
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQfs425Beh
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCHklEsGFl
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaO9Oxr4be
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK5G71sCfT
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygz2kbFoY6
"You little-"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdCfFGxfIp
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBwfaky9zg
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg3h9nj8iP
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsdJ8gAx6N
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiPS1FVieK
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBNBdqsaIk
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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZqhCFtzyu
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jHP9pYHhv
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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Syq22gMLI
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVH8IAG2MN
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhoeHxflAK
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SgnIS8pMh
"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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4aXPN3EN3
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDXCfrSlLT
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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRdb6RRmQ7
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUp6xxHYcJ
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoK4IMLSKk
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ126N6UukV
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmGCDgXZVn
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRos6t99Xac
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb4g04rc8o
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpofsoYe64y
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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRoB4SIXAJ
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS02yYvVVY
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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvDWaQMbci
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkWpg1oKNo
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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Ojpr0NKH
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oh6qiwQAZ
"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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduQzFvNv8X
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrLk02rs9X
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFsf8lrSFB
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCPPs6q2AN
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZttY51XX9
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHpioqPSTz
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPvHGhFfoS
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVRUOF2aWP
"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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkRCJovI0K
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTxUN2qzOy
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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WzbN0SUlk
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6rz5AFS8d
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLuzEojqRL
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDXGi3PWMX
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw40lfrFjQo
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodlHJ7LpXK
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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIljtQV5pU
"Oh my God,"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N6yYpkZ99
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeLDnHoGyB
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsseAnTBFUv
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5XBECrgoT
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO0eTO0e1K
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB5jYEPP2Z
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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQBUAxQaX1
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PSNCvsesx
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKboDnHhop
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrjxlTDdME
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkltpr6C0ta
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq282XwtTDb
"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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SrgjipFrV
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU3FSRILeG
"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?!"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0w9FFjp0L
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLZAGrhWPd
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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1m4F3KjRw
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJELGTEexHP
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQg2efBsXS
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rYlY8x2Py
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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMH9ChTq7S
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMNUkG44Za
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9mkPS2NgG
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlk9gOvqDL
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhN3L2zYlV
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AsRTNz7pw
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfXZcpeDJM
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsp3xZGsLa
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJrFKKWEM9
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFCz7os9Ez
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyaOrsMwBT
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZXKRGdbfb
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYTf1zLViJ
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN5jo89dzO
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc0DRyGGPj
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPPHp6IdHy
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB8B0Glco7
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpDjTli8DF
"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."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfwA8AVJd5
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nMpBJCwPB
That was all before he hung up.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtwHd54WWZ
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RJ67fgyjF
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1RRnIzQP7
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IGR4cOUyT
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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMioYyorc9i
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzdP8L80AY
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLWe7Y96k9
1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9VNZFnlpI
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMyCfANzLM
