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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpRRSS17UD
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfX65fLHMP
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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWVNe4CMUR
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPotp4SOPk
"You're done for today, Evan."1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqgOs6Wcf6
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEpZIT0sJD
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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw9EDfIc7L
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHVyhntFfc
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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GHpSJF2qv
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ3pTunMXr
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs3zWqEYZf
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c1teSeO3r
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwUbNskJoy
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJyZWzhyoB
"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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74stTxMm4D
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebo32pB0N3
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhveWbXl73
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4dT3wycHT
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw1aAk0ToW
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhINHb39Pnh
"Clean."1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUZhtmsO9k
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ5boIlMSu
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2oETk9lx2
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodJXaj75iZ
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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRP7aCCQKr
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE0xEiqhHd
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDeiPguImX
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1rmxZ9Rtg
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkM6WnyLUd
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcm177Tqqo
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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDJOZPonR2
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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7GUHWG4oe
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLjtpZfFRs
"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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWJzU1MZtt
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhts37dDqTK
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekFyKUQ70C
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyk5Mgbpki
"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."1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k700Wg0UB
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mqMBOOiQB
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1Kl8jovoY
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKtg3RSXot
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNMlsMd7Kp
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFzcu3xpXx
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiciuI025rK
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBn8RrrgZI
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZfnfatHng
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGotUQbrbO7
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB6YxqlvON
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Fo0wn2xM
"You little-"1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE705QPNgq
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWS6QgeFg1
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVYRpksVR4
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRZ6Yr3nns
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOKPwfP0X1
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5alqbsc86v
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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQCsSbZ437
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCf6KjFmJu
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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPempatVJj
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEOA5dDPz3
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7wEaIACOR
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZReChKE4Av
"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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGMheUZ4Px
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzYxk058L1
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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjCMjrWdDl
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjomBuU5vN
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIPTBV1opM
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlX301GCIQ
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHChjD1KCIT
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVOJQn39ql
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ9bWmDQr7
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3K2nmP6Jc
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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRiPRPpjWj
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVXkWIsrut
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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYkrksDNMQ
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0x2SahFHN
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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb41HVSxeh5
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4uzhYG7Fb
"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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvsaI4px3m
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA9j5rPEd9
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUUreYm72p
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQypftwBdq
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KxLq9gJJo
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb52NQmRKx6
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrT4awssJl
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQoOyjEa9z
"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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQspCmCymGG
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKU4MBl2kI
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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdTfCrU9vA
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1q6LDt5ir
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhgiXnk2Tw
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwOqCQ0oq2
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVsCP4b9tc
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e8naKggnK
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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOUbmb2aMl
"Oh my God,"1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTIN9o3uBG
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCSXlsFx7W
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8fwZRgzxo
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa64LH7X1HZ
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHQnqfXy1I
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5YhtBw1oE
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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpWL8jpbIP
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUc7wa70pq
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaY8aUwrjf
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ev0rTAtOe
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEylO6O8qx
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULx5jjn2BC
"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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvZqfviiem
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLt2IHuqcu
"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?!"1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPh28W3sU1
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULykbxTEUF
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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrppeFcxkyv
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9CJLDyXMl
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0dCo5z3kC
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fuCS2GR2d
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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjICqK2RNf
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGtA2vN4UW
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvJN1DUGx7
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1cl7hbHZw
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dNrEVnJa9
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosZP7jmpmI
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1FRKnsY3X
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36eXIt6T6A
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzuxVIfElX
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C7Iw3s8sE
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF3K5PcYqQ
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgcLjaYkvs
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhBFmo5wQP
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyOZM3yI3g
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjjL2wBJ27
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1CBquB8nF
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOaPiRBta3
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lCe6NEURD
"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."1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLy2kGgkS0
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDKUQK4qqM
That was all before he hung up.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaWyXmdyTl
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q6QPdFuI0
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB8P3Gg7Fw
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7YAxE8cT0
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.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfBjK5bm7s
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVcsB9KBzr
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCWWPxqqaj
1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbONLZOelGN
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaGYnM0hMP
