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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNDwtXClBt
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvBbwgGak8
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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrao6PCLiWk
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx6rhjvs1L
"You're done for today, Evan."1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOkSgA2IU9
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiM3E97eXZ
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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSfUWRLCzV
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdBOpKs2xI
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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSkmP3A1nb
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLvgoVJ6XM
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzhXd4UXV1
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60XKFITfWA
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTS5JOuoJo
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CoJajMiwp
"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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8tBVuiwqS
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyJuYvLij4
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc0v2sYoi1
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKq3SERqgE
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwqqeFYw4E
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSTTHHTaxn
"Clean."1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7zsGSALm1
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHUhGeEbth
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EfNfLtyz6
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7XYmKf4Ig
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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvTMxP0TmU
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWIchsujR0
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiLm7OpyGC
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjTrmkX8uA
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1FztWByRD
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNLgKzxcSh
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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7nFxDQOOy
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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK2tO1sYg8
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUhT1EHX0g
"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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN6liGJscl
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3ktXKFEPB
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbYmlUKefP
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqfWtlxYnV
"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."1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJlMG7i1Ik
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQLL5W9WMH
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3h5Y0zFpV
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKccEFD0E3S
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMkfmWJ8uK
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyaM7bJ64H
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49jVouMbaZ
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpMsoiCnR0
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrl0Gz4Qsr
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVxywXEaYH
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsQLyl940X
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04dafh91qy
"You little-"1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf9TgR0QTo
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTn0dC9wXQ
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUteRHt1cv
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRSSHXp1Wf
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCl5xyFyhf
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPAuQp4hLa
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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BVStCqa5L
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2XxboHT6a
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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyu0PgIMrK
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzCTY1xUSf
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZzwUAiIZV
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vH22Hern5
"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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsF7C7Q3pI
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgdonJGKpL
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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSFXESkyvT
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXPZuPhHVo
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn3MiegFZK
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyVVDHpBnX
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnaQWzCSLV
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVfah1PD6Q
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wgip7Ys9o
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHFezARewq
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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMb9JzD0EQ
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz14qvtA4Oi
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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48EbnwEcNG
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATWYCRGt5v
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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzktLqwecd
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeg0XJXx2s
"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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuaxd00gOi
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5056xpak8
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnEUKorW3G
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3uw1qr8SH
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fwIjShmcR
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3QRBcuAJU
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh468n8Y4OE
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJms0HwaObr
"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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROyYT1Tmmi
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJddrqulSXk
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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XKs1iKsfB
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV76Skv72Xh
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevAZ4bH2nM
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhXb4MgNjR
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfVSY4xuSR
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkaXAbmmWl
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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSl1fLifPl
"Oh my God,"1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejFsVSIcGV
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXdfwJ3PFD
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxIJy25ypC
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cHys4DNKt
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYTrysinji
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryHYPWklfB
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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbjc1rKnfL
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ4TbPLctS
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3Yi86IN1N
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hHyJZJ3w2
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZgxeGwy1s
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgugLJ7TJF3
"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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN73pPBmV1W
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgMVRwD7fX
"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?!"1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU62K3zY5As
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjquQTmJi5k
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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIlqaWPY4H
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8BZmVZLR6
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqXntIMBht
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonZUMKARJX
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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHYC0ATXxa
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1LhQgVv8E
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelxKv7HRQz
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfUaYaFzMZ
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIDJDyltZp
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVSA8QLijG
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjVdCa9B2p
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMCtwGWaLU
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6xxNoVYPd
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9Cgsvkmio
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1p2cums2T
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTobzea7TT
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSsmcd3eQ9
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnArFuWWGG
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXlM3JsNZf
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRtEl9eOvN
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvq79cfwLN
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYro0w1dZ6e
"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."1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfwhxyWIp8
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrE3KH0y48
That was all before he hung up.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08HRQ331jT
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUvVYESQCN
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLzVYWTN6H
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNinGHBdn7e
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.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDC472SqWL
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclP7zIT0H4
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM0vB7eN0S
1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81953GxqsW
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIal5QwIVq
