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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgujqngVgqA
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8wEPhEHBx
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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWB4KG5VME
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfLz9j2COK
"You're done for today, Evan."1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PthJWwN6X
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAQWYLcpSZ
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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72xLk5y6PD
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfLt8DVZCm
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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8oT0hsNM3
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHVUfn4um7
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCXHAYB85q
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIb7idXUxe
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8HOsbNf5S
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcBZYIfTvQ
"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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aEGwQRmzE
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUWKnbqvJh
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CZziy24oz
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H1gcK25SL
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91F7M5glQn
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeamai8tAV
"Clean."1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUE8Y2HD2t
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HgPri0v9p
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG8BB4LNT3
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ht3AyALMI
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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL33Fzq5u2
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdQjVvuZCE
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDDyNPrGxf
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0PfegVoWM
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7rw5YyqXb
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKm12qqchS
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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlllFLhYsu5
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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeEFCUTxw0
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9D9FXO55u
"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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwsVlnMdqV
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqvgtnEcvV
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi0N0dQsAO
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbR1qK9Qxu
"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."1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn9PWt2vaQ
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwLrhdhPMC
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx0Qed1J7t
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofZBetvNDR
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DyjiH8pUJ
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZQdu9EYOR
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox7HndJyES
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqp96eaiWR
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpax42JFPO4
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0zKUqcUXc
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFpj7T28NS
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EAv07wL5e
"You little-"1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluB2RuYIsG
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bjhx3rXnD
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnpYXhTM1u
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R7wToClDN
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWJ2ITJZ5I
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqsVJvu78e
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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lSeqtExln
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX8gLxbDQt
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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5nBZ41qC2
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a64kWnqXA
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBJJSYYdjR
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX7HPcw1tn
"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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtetesVcWEg
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTnxQpKCxO
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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPLjlMzzlj
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxS6FKFvNl
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v4pflIPyg
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiC8ei16rB
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYlUw7MsUj
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXGfjpvCbo
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHVK6NxSMi
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScZ7vDAo6g
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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeItkKt5yD7
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvyzHzeuQH
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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKrMtKioha
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4RIcjOyPr
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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPxaJ52KnM
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2b22lYmEX
"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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYps5l3yyyC
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFOiJjhU55
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmersB0Bsr
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTLiBpGaPE
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIqrq8Cd2N
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpjqQm4Qj7
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJlN6eC34u
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZe9957ZRQ
"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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfycyqsRxIa
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmASSZ7Dpi2
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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0VZTafeUF
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoMFbf8mbe
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgeO4KLaFV
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBeGMtvkWE
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVzXfwcgl0
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeblD47hkAZ
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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5obmD3jVq
"Oh my God,"1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ghBrcO7ui
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp8T86wo5y
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL5HMZH3Rh
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHocgmX6fG
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDvqmrGfli
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrPIAbGmo5
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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx8n8zTIFT
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeDqaaEjrK
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBXVnvX6ei
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7aTE2ksgE
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexDBqREXAr
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLx19jFbKj
"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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH777oN5Kz
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hTZKrDqjw
"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?!"1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuUpSPGq4g
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5B862v4ap
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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3qePiXlhr
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy6t2aiMe6
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS3Q3aAuJU
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU8h3IhARR
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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEGPQHdCkM
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMDdXwMdbN
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR8vzdCRPK
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw5O0H1PWG
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsKwFVjgiI
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7qPvM1hOd
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIA1TIZNuc
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVRYfLnfH8
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz0aB6hEPx
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPTnjl0tVY
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd94wH4KoY
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyamUb6oLHD
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL5JPlxxI1
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylUgcjs6nQ
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIM4Uobmmw
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoomRar9Tjx
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaS3ec2Ruq
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ5FUaJfTv
"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."1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhDBYd9naj
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSQIgz3bAF
That was all before he hung up.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdYBI2XtiZ
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAYnAKIqtJ
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZEUCknZ2S
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bX7UpdpRr
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.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkToDMjUiWN
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrD0zVRba7
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD17CnKucw
1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFqyFFKQm3
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3t4Ekzprk
