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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9lQUYtiQl
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2La5jsQ9Vt
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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YvZQTsQDR
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4l3pTHLNL
"You're done for today, Evan."1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWgjoLHee4
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9At8bhFge
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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96riS1h1Yl
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH0OnjjQKR
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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLcOsD5hjV
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7IJKPOBeS
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0LKRkdJtf
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5FWASG1rw
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszPxpFFNHP
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrVeLghqgk
"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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLquW6UOL8I
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvJe0VGx8b
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIHQbUotRG
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YUCOZg60F
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER1cbZMej6
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCmOagGfFC
"Clean."1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwRYhk6sdK
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5LD0YoQCu
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdTL9OiVXQ
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU77lsDiQxK
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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7YFOIe5UP
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRVUVdeECy
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKa2TDIPDf
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q21LVK1bu
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXkVN6drT8
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgA9wgUOEz
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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhecAWv6u4t
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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS03Ddw3KR
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrh7DfP92n
"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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLpibjI3Y1
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgReKQDonC3
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb7xSdQYH7
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKkVvMSffN
"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."1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQydpCilKl1
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwUjfJtgaR
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn1WJ4BOTB
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhhhakhR7Z
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbGgOg0uTT
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu82Xowq4V
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OORxm5R6S
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNLwT5vv8u
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHfxRHaChT
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvbH4xgCda
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx0Cz0Y10K
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn8AQjAVSt
"You little-"1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlxIiXfpQK
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQlx5F4hlg
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3HRlTzYgX
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaPstOliBW
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEIOAvOe4S
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDi0uDfQns
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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzks19gbHd
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2BTf6vR2F
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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuN3UMfQnZ
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfXnqeaoe9
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRQiLEsr6E
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOo6FRz6BW
"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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY337Qo5Tfb
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwqMRnfMom
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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApTlrczFr9
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP5mCY6WHX
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX071r61tL
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD2qvvVeGE
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwSrOMFFhP
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9OElE6HCv
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjIKVChYjx
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyt0FyYauC
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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ91bA1RvoK
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExp2C1iXSD
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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJuYZFqm2h
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLjxTzUdEF
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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFWe9wc3jS
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wMOkj0YHz
"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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CKN8rWfyt
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnSMMghNSZ
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwBNiyPvrZ
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04nG8YAa0I
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriw6KsA4I0
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3WljLQh01
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS4YrKODj4
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn7yCD9qiM
"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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpakTWHgAsa
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOF17JGPHq
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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lvUvOa3qh
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98dhNwYtq5
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0ikSAtU3P
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lTse3oJ3d
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDRP5VAUhb
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7LnvwUHVz
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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0uUlLuB4E
"Oh my God,"1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kAPcJyeNT
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPYq1W1ui6
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoXAwnfyPZ
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY0XSrrFaO
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqYSAzrpkk
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVZAKo8qwu
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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTZAspg5HQ
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen0enV7d5S
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHS7FviQW9
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vgEecuRE0
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUFW3TZqqK
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40U00ybyCS
"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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYoiPN1hdA
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPUWSgAYXi
"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?!"1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdxMejTlle
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzolMOfqIcB
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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ78202ytEs
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTGhd81FjS
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyBiPstFSZ
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVDXt1ytWd
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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRVGL03vFD
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSr6PBEgB9
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvaBDQbAdR
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmSrAQBkCZ
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K3TY8mwBx
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sKEuSfyyU
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYGTUfuePS
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8WKqk0CoR
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡammjE7czW6
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWk0fnUy73
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREBPGfx9H4
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcNl4R5Upj
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2nhBAytpO
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFQppo7Xou
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKDNnNMeTp
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZBspWgyM5
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BMVPKNdwB
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rel990lYy
"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."1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OcvTcIHwC
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hDnDgZkJt
That was all before he hung up.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl7jqsIwic
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCuqDjJAQF
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gC4KNiK7w
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWcbom6IAM
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.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLsynWCBOO
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2gO5Ap5CO
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtJziF99ik
1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hnJACPK4t
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl2n7yrnA9
