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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8u3y5K9uz
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhJwkAIipw
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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx91uRZog2l
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PXUl8rFZw
"You're done for today, Evan."1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4QnfIPRH3
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLVxJpRWFK
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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFtpO1J59T
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW7PPpQn31
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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHgpjCpOyL
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwESZfeabNR
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcwn0pa0QC
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLUnEijLud
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr4cMl58hI
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvzpCOY1ca
"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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlT9j2ChwD
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EypWkL7il
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaDWtgmWf2
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUGI9CoYQP
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vMteDq1Tx
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq17fb0OYWc
"Clean."1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9g1d2TZ5v
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIsPObw7Zn
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta7D6E6yAq
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzUOGbfXaX
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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2uqYsHr7E
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaD80WdZRu
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilHlMEJF9N
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc9DMsnw3j
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhOqy1Tz6Y
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRtR2WGq42
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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP70fCrvnXg
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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCYsIrwlbp
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaUzp0yhmH
"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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTNWOvdurh
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdFwIyjvZA
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXWKksxbrO
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hgI97tDlK
"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."1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljyA9C7P2u
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyOvV6a1Tv
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWsv596TcV
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k1x6Nz4wh
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7oKH40wZ5
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi95FuUjwr
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIqhwJIuYJ
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkieTX7SUF
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nhf9EFIt5
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfZpMzClct
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJu6Vwz4KO
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DbUbPUuqR
"You little-"1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRWcc88nCs
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuscJxO1NVH
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagC7z0tv6z
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MTCzaFlXT
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbcpWDanSW
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xCadla4lt
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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhueFMgfMZ
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRzlbTOQxA
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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeBmTipSeJ
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7tMubpaUl
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMznXxSHQHR
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfroKzx7Xb
"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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSdOfyoUpD
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oj8sz23rD
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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKKtJ1zFVR
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfmK0piRhD
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPcWFGXsUE
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTQzfvKgA9
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPaRRwc9hV
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5gauIMrt4
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC3TLsJSJu
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD3rmFmpgD
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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKcu4Jimdo
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48jRZdZI9t
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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEYsNwUBQi
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8Ge2KP810
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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ876Bx6cIVj
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGq2SwRhia
"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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7yS4u2ZGV
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFFpRTqDGn
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDmXvuFXWz
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSuMyQmEAk
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwChvdVF4M
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNy8MJscht
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH26xPSaDs
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGjXonkw6f
"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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70lLrABgd1
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvsI5YqxOW
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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGI53VrR2A
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2txfFtu65
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxfaORdTKv
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcYZZXAWcz
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaYq0t35Pp
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe1wfUBYVb
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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hp0IdCoKM
"Oh my God,"1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNQU8xOLSj
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9mwKhRKET
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWsqRAfrnF
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99hFCdDBRQ
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gvvFe2axz
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3VnIfdmGV
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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrUvUxWDHn
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct4WPJK4zK
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKQaWJ5pMT
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteRebI7JGV
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNguxoE0m6Q
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvSiN6ipnD
"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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQDvXk4AxU
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5WNvJCKFz
"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?!"1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZQOBpH43o
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe73zg6w1e
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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8ZrsZMlEu
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvZhGep7dO
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJXbjmFmds
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡituDh2Zwl3
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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJKU0rgyuG
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBCRQKl6iK
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikZPnshfjP
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJPIfMuguS
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1rmpm8UCI
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJNMoS7luu
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ylAMGxOEa
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoO4D5CLVD
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mnb3DFqUT
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iOrXEbrET
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NFcVInoJ1
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRjRT3c8P2
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkKLcu7neC
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4XrlYMW7L
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqfelTstjT
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWLJRFmwB9
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZRJ8xmWvj
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWukUf84zv8
"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."1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8th2uv3TTX
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuihydevMta
That was all before he hung up.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVsgVHTGfN
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB611Z1JVm
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sj1fBgcMO
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4W5GP4b1j
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.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y3CTedDmW
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3Wx66S4vZ
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRPVhjjWgp
1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb6Fv0Ar5y
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1523Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8mVSHkBTD
