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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKqx1EtQ3v
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPFSoytjNd
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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa5L6hMBBM
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHix7aT1fN
"You're done for today, Evan."1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurMY73YIph
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEmICflD9t
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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTEnlR8ety
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHYD71wo1U
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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAV2NmHPLb
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZaZCTwXV9
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMytiIEcBH
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD5tjArpqc
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYqMg8Hn2Z
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDyPLMQq2A
"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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnghDSgiZP
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoAgk8Z17z
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LNVHkvvoi
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatO3K6ilcS
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsoatC76dB
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw31McXPJM4
"Clean."1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfUmGS59MP
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA28jHYc8Gj
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgRcKFBa0L
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DD0uDSzjw
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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QlFpbxMxD
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7zA7mvHVP
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7sTJzJRvI
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSrDVmZFSj
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyI9tOiaKX
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF3kNcpjpL
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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7rlofmWqa
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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZnCVTiwTZ
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd13gopdcVS
"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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT3WtKXuGu
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjHpO2JOGr
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWETL5imuf6
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqirSB1Jiw
"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."1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrna57U0Sl
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLHJQNpsGt
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e3q5l1L3a
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul82dzCoPV
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHEs7BQ9zm
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9SH9NGANX
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWlSKixyaM
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5WvYHtHNU
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwGJc737i4
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmQTqTSr6b
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUXtkOyGIg
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxPz6ML9GB
"You little-"1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1NrvYA0IT
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFm23gzXT6
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59yyMkDc1T
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX0HxSdTIY
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa4MwjG5C9
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn74cZwkBob
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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKBILSLOqZ
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCJYdXwV4O
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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaesDymMHsq
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDhfx9tjrx
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeWW4YdWN3
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmEvYgUsi8
"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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHmMzSXkEB
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8PbD7EaRO
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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgsQYr8qxv
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYP5ObFIab
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe734xTzOe5
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8wU1qw9Jr
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0jdbPI0vQ
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHbOkQvLxI
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdYnAigGX7
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUSdxSEcJd
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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKktX7yVFg
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4voDvraXOb
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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZtEfuGJgO
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4WmVk0lbY
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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ivwMuEfZE
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX9GTYkbdZ
"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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZFGJzN64t
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFQzKmGdcz
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrtk1xsdie
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86Nmn5RldK
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPIJqhXmYn
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxud459BKq2
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE3AShc8tr
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRdeHYIa6b
"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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW4D3GeQ6l
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyMpkPihNa
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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAdgs8HcPn
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgR4m7roN7
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8QZyVdG0k
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VR3PSTKOc
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzgV9TEf3K
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOnChSYDct
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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF0Hirrl8z
"Oh my God,"1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE05ytftorf
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5e2n6jkCR
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xNVglE5sm
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23jergsEzC
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV5yPdljwX
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkxACRF8E4
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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHz4ot2GiJ
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLask9YcWS
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JP8hxKKVi
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HDD8ihX5d
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8O9spr25L
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pcm9klX7c
"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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXbRAQuynd
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MNCupuQ54
"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?!"1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOHu4oj8H9
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m5c6fmbDy
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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bEkvkcDPW
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICIjSlquF1
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdNkjdAghL
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zgwMDv5Pt
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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp6O58GPAJ
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PUm06bNY3
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRoqvyvmLw
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTxtPxwQWU
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wUcJvRE71
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdlU5BIWXZ
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAXb3xNOWb
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRbmXIlyhj
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7TUVPz0fb
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffjeFObPeu
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb6Zgi25eS
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnGYmDawJd
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQRTYUEh7g
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBO10W381Z
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaFrLF8CLK
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Tsr1nLCK
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84wPm9Wu2H
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduh7SlZ2pe
"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."1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz1osAauCx
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt9HfEBuWe
That was all before he hung up.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ezd1oNN32
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbdm5PXt2n
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7VYAt9zM4
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIl3eLVrJi
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.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc09RGCypq
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYOdYbwVVk
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrzpdRPZRW
1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDyYB6pT3k
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVPcosXAUx
