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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rtQVt6Dbw
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoZvthFDkZ
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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrmCEDTAR8
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbIhbFv1vS
"You're done for today, Evan."1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf6Uc9VvKM
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTlpdVg7R2
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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvyeWc4VQ5
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoCROvtYSL
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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsUYI8tizy
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTDHMrHdp8
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkfepenxqG
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwUF7eDpp3
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUncYT7V3mg
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasfpjqX3WM
"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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahk1v6PMAn
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtAEvRaUgX
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApBo7L7fsq
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbB02xW3xh
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvZo4sTwZv
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOi9Zijvml
"Clean."1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lJTS9q0t5
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeiQ8kTBrr
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmbBZQDrqK
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wJIST9eYg
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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEZ5Ief8Ay
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT96162JsUv
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9CIdyGbvB
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F00v1Tbx3
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR4KtpfcYU
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiDUL6aGpR
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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH0VCEOQJa
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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLplKJqyV1B
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kxHdDeQ9l
"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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwRNxFVDun
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKm7pOcWt6
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFpizLXGVn
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYeT3nGD1P
"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."1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17euXVPHcy
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3pfEvPsED
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmqQFKaNeI
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpHu3frwaw
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYbKslzFY8
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNdZHwJxS9
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc4qutfUww
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbBWCrUDgE
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3iUFvzwue
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfuJXjwX2t
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzSAjJxllD
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcHzSP9IlD
"You little-"1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDbJfF2r4U
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFmkXFdYhF
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJTxpCybhd
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG6TBcJAeC
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwePiHtRDX
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROkuRdWopl
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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZamMkoZZZm
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPL9ow1Wot
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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUXXUxuB85
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98sH52J4MH
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wdU7kGp0j
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcXRb7K4dP
"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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaN5JbUt8z
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw2EcwXyGo
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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KWnWxvzle
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTHzSK2Nuu
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMILHZkz8Ax
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLocJoCGyPP
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG3iX8caJL
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWzu6CDNyx
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjB2Py2UU8
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4uVm6tWCF
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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlilvLOcAoo
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ340f6z4M79
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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItY59QI4nj
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcnhFGFF8U
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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdXT8r72Kj
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZfSwdtGWa
"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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72tErshF7H
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5zecRTW2e
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMpY8zlBeH
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJD4F7BmYd
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC5wmSZOeR
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQOzS5wIcA
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOC3SW7zwb
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP4Dkc6IL2
"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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaxDS9KhfU
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOO69LKOIv
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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaYyhGQmY7
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPefQeXlSIt
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cQYgdBvUF
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbcBVMivBC
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRJSUvz5XH
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjRPwxBfJM
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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdE9qzvGaD
"Oh my God,"1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddIKwRfcWc
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkd102WC1b
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSRio7gJ0S
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyHAHW28Hx
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjyJC54Brq
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvAwB2IbBN
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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6isoSH2oa
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftOMzm1AFD
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpn1L6Je2O
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleYjIeNv8o
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFqOyOcKBd
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp0lap76dJ
"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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAe5rdReMB
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2B0AXN1Nq
"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?!"1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89GaBxa2NF
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYb56LBv6I
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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDRja3bSeX
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFHTMWNoWu
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsepVRtnM4X
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVhT7VY61i
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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu19CNmGiSq
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQimJcA6XFe
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzAB7MwiCn
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxuL7TRD0w
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjtdBofqeU
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDocA5NNunh
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKMhVMxyZJ
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ7UVR6Bgl
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQnENT2lBG
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQFQHzQPed
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNXU1Euxgf
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHezBtkbPc
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKgPGCcivI
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAS5FqXmP7
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FRXmw3iRe
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwuNjGvhbU
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XS2kffFGb
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1PW1E0eFl
"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."1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTxCtkPljt
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGfAZI6jyL
That was all before he hung up.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczg7HfKqSk
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWMsNxnBIU
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfXLE2RkBT
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF9y3k1aEP
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.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUX9owiMdj
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY3kCXQKWj
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOgT5HHCBV
1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjUIFmZunE
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxvevrI5eV
