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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb2i6DYil2
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn5CQA9ODj
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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvymf9jx0G
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACRUubpPdg
"You're done for today, Evan."1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkJ9t7DAw4
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aqi5VPqQe
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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzcLJBHToG
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrKs4A55Qw
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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNWd5PMTaT
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxA1j3sGAQ
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdUoD28xsI
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIVte4K9wC
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtCyZQpH75
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClBYpAlRBf
"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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6baSpMWKTC
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSMAxac6pB
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkq2ES5EhC
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkycHSPSPKG
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD78Wfbb00
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyScMQO8pP
"Clean."1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu3gHBLu2m
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkmD45jh0Q
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5anPrOze5z
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPzFMfrlJQ
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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPGuOO2tPJ
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C3yY0OrUE
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1dC98V3xL
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLQrKOtEBr
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwZxZGTqgf
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pOjYJscuN
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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxLGsJp914
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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5a0q4JEML
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGRNkGMJmx
"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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz73yHx1Kzm
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGk9M35tU7
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAyyvPtbTH
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJvwJJVTvt
"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."1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1stfYiMxXL
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzE8iV4XFa
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yls9VkasP
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhuqJVUg51
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcdnUkmwjS
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0UOdTzCX3
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm3GANrFCS
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZGxtIqnzl
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5gNpxMQLK
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDd9DVdtDy
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDobnZltLww
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHTzg7xiYM
"You little-"1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM5mCy4tl8
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnJKT0uyvd
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR6gEKB5j4
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9yu1iOFUM
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5zc8n7X9n
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIIEQikFjs
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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWPSWz4E5o
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSyiQwDpKe
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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey5Bw0x5c3
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZRfZc2dPE
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy5ofcSQUt
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGliEM1PaXY
"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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GM87y9BjT
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rXAJ5Rfie
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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi0Xdvce0E
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tnRL799w7
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaHmsR7I4h
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdOaNFupMv
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWXFyydNiU
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcxaG2vSZ0
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI7BNetspN
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshBqqaaFU3
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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8RzRcdpHt
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZDBeTLlUf
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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIHlnwckk1
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYynQrHDTSf
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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkolKErJAQK
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgRcKA8yil
"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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fLJZq4pMz
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc1RLvd0fx
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzRXdGyT7x
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRpcSqneDn
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51qsQg9R6O
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzjia5Qfdx
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwkkhaJauT
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWPJUEmwxU
"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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPDzmRDpDN
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZECurrzVx
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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN4xA043dZ
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTCfkcajnB
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIlpIPSh0m
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vyYPsVGEt
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoid7HQkJG
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB2mLgCiFx
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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDcPKmOkl4
"Oh my God,"1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw0S1evnOn
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dbRJMsipx
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DRm8rdgM6
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GdN7mpP6f
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY4bBpQD9R
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16ZGUvnovU
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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j38NifWyV
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfX48rEyOO
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQdEqCPVqV
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN98EiKN8q
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2puo1TMyhy
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJybigNxNLa
"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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl3DhI9cIL
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRHpAkmA2F
"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?!"1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M88iQDGTa
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyiEc9gSu7
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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK03H2Ca6kZ
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtrMhVJJHY
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSZYpjLJ3Q
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RisqfHSAy
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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD9BSycG54
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynR32ZoKw8
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYo9liYtN7
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5ZunXzRJ5
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJMa9eAz5P
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrbp8BjAWq
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUPIrt61lk
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1Qu6AEVQC
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonFjWG7y0j
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7l1bGLstF
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacgwO0Q7F0
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYT1R0SKfw
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt8OcQZxjo
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMJiwcFuxo
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP3a3TCgq5
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfpImfPkQJ
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXC9a04Lmp
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdZusd5ddT
"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."1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aAKY21Vgn
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbpCNTukPK
That was all before he hung up.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqPCFhUYg6
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3NtyROjkw
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7i3GwhsMY
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR7Dd6eZ7J
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.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFGDinbdsl
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCAxDuW4BM
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxQsuWLsHy
1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mdPl1zipD
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i4XSOL3PA
