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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebDEnebVU3
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IHyq35Xva
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXhMAyQr9T
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngv2FN0uPI
"You're done for today, Evan."1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP2iAChFmA
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JlFtPI1wR
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUJK5Um0xj
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMXjZ911ae
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm2CRwCSGI
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZhVS3TRUd
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDxwwJQ2tU
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnOt3QsFjA
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3LRsoNg9Y
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjcwYjs3ua
"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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUJx1BvyFc
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vxw5JlO9I
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAebIoUa83
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zPOMCGGnb
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar9JF1v4qs
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YjoKbncCl
"Clean."1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisKzAhFsDn
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwriOgvt04E
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HjmGt94Tt
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vfAzjyKxc
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv4WHGaIRD
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86eoou5ONR
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmcd3LB2OY
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1t86DEO4L
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhWpGgRolK
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN1vmbe06c
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pVk2ZBuTo
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCEQI1fNu5
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITgt7Vb5Y4
"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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWq3AQvqDB
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJP7K5DhBG
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MSDmdqorV
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTrQmpn3Li
"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."1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacnuRQvq8k
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7laaSo7mHd
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JES3FjvFb
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hk5tviLsD
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDUpgc3738
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0C4vou9l1
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SYusCGAnB
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjgdESf4HT
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6X4ZFycAC
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwW6J1a4si
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpxfj9bZ1f
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH12khk8oqX
"You little-"1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ6etpDFfD
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzrhxhvoo6
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglOaSMXd3D
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G4SjgHXut
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXTpgXC1xG
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu3bVD2pge
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3FwqmjvAd
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTgufTJODU
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOOkDhvCgY
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCJHLPlINA
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO4qgn7J3B
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3MvJTzbgf
"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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zxYUWqdL7
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJmOB4Hltz
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSqGOCSf3q
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmdl6XRRIN
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOC37UOQVD
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGhISuDPXh
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeld5Pweoxl
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t3oEQhn3O
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExRG5ycUT5
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPavb9631fh
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVZTaGTJcY
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJbMiIFa24
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JzF8M1pQT
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kAkxrymFB
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPg0ihsUu1
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBs0lMGCeP
"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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGau4Ctki9
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEQvJWHHEe
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTztVz2FTq
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRH7yjUMQD
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLza8y65ct
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5D2DWIXwk
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYS8nLNvBl
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRTRUUJytk
"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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GF71YVAuX
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J7uLSmnWd
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksc2GKQgOX
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFdeCQwb1R
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4vsgqVQob
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQFCAFGgvI
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXIRX2ivfX
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS8zqrvp0e
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCYToRksUQ
"Oh my God,"1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHGivcU8NR
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDyPn3nJj0
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidCmp5mqZ5
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApvXuE7FZJ
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJLu6155ak
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhyfAMGON4
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDWVGq9Jae
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rvizb8egO
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlhegBbD2q
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lx8JaEu7U
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZzwQVjnWn
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qr480NFXQ
"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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80IDl1nFr6
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qgi8VtpjP
"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?!"1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW2ftRJISz
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTotYzmM3K
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8Li3IghQ4
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ybWDSJWp2
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiAZKGQ5XU
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOjpvXFNUc
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8tc0iBIT8
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAcGU4olzg
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WLr67DwF1
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqL3Q9mXPK
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17HzJVZhka
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AyXiFBxL2
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuRtpUrGns
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqbYlagnGz
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQTto38Jsq
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJiVe7uau1
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GxCn3W2jp
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDGe8pY356
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkN6UZvDVQ
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65tNUnsH9V
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB4wVWU5gU
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3qGX4XQWW
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3xijbkc9H
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaBe6ax56G
"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."1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVfEzk7lL5
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32VCIY0XoZ
That was all before he hung up.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8BYDVHeUc
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjgX8a4fHs
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumTyasxfSs
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPav1bNF4Lr
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.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2rXs8AlqV
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphKrfu8KuZ
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJFhn0GGCk
1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeaH3pvIMn
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2YQdi97D9
