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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3l2KDJJNe
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW7HDZYhz5
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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxuaQigWGl
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONZEEWNOf7
"You're done for today, Evan."1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO2EhkaTaa
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3BU4Lnwph
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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxztUnf4j2P
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJmwRFZmOy
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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC7MUlyWqL
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1NpZCL1v8
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4myK60xE5Q
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq1qbvUQMx
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoF5fatPhz
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzIYNuE6lx
"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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4tXYo6ArM
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyCJjN91NZ
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQjekSwLVq
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZMPkwzwGj
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tcxHqZaSo
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0lYtgrM6v
"Clean."1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8pjJB2rlt
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C5S6yzcmb
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3kVqiAHoJ
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05Ld2OPB06
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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGYID1dFCQ
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEtDrTl2xN
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYILFeEKot
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW4SXmSC6P
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCm1B3BBqS
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyvGiuAf2c
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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWFPZuyaFM
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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGg80nZeMo
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oSPBenOxe
"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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurLbrEtxLe
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfwWeiheSK
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUQAdSIzra
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNTHF34vS8
"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."1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IkaHtwM7o
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtvkzAWbwx
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZf7GBQEez
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG4wbFym7t
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhALkXlgWQQ
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL4bYeXj1h
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ4IstatQS
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAs1xggODT
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITfxzNJMqI
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79BDw3EVgE
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGazXLEnTu
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN92DnGP0q
"You little-"1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauFucktYMW
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQIMAM5znu
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SaaD4HPGA
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRojgMDapvp
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHyzhlf1ER
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2leuwtAcEm
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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEicdlZG2hH
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yqtyIz4SO
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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFTOLm4dRF
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHI5bEwIVa
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoJmXMlhh2
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjQ2KWaFey
"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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbib0A16Kus
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcjHmN8Xlb
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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrap78I4syM
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7i9aInw4Y
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH3wV717h6
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElX1AT7SUO
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGGuAAQz7O
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld7Jk4Uzaw
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq3sd305ZF
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs45oSD5020
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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQi5kMcPJN
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFciqNSvCf0
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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsFbryuT2T
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcTP2GrSkR
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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOzzkCDSS0
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0enqG085pW
"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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnnkUN04hp
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0glXfIsyDT
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tadieoa7w
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQPRdv4aa4
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgb3gDeDuB
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWgqk6I1zT
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf3JfUnrXF
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwSanZwPF1
"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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKX2mcX9mC
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujhoX0ed5j
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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBfeoW0RNu
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04FuvHhC15
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK900GvKfO2
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzw8BZH5nM
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN5jt5QEkV
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaejF1YqAM
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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmwP5U34Fa
"Oh my God,"1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwEwPc2835
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y8o1iYBVw
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY11BoVgyu
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF26kIep6lK
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVTtaumyD4
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PtmHcgEuO
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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIzzTSPHOB
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOY93fqBtY
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0HrBXeEFB
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdIvZLvld1
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7bOI6ERha
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2TMZPNakt
"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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpE6mZFFhg
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc7Qln570h
"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?!"1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3DI4aFc7J
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKIBCU7ewL
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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIcUMb9O1R
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vzNGWjbQ3
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfOjA61rrD
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yA42hKgK5
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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWN58dpNkI
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsNiBEBTIK
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAUoA96C5I
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLcHawA2cA
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcfu9yU5UJ
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EP8L2e9iJ
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZbR4GjPCQ
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMcubvt8TF
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Beh8FVJyF
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtXMXCTItV
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyqmP5mAnc
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxlxvnLO0P
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4r8dXrHXJ
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w0lePYHEA
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbthCP5riL
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXwIrPmwTs
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTcEVJwpYt
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqyg6upO0F
"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."1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n1wFpQUK0
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOeVJdpASu
That was all before he hung up.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSshWaGc0J5
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl7kCRzZTz
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe6GeOqdqY
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtmwZfyTaI
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.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz8GlRa6rz
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EaXncpDwo
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRPEPi5Gnt
1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItX5yX8067
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvirHcA6Q6
