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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT8rCBAgez
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IQc7JtUAg
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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zCpnv4cXC
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5l0hlU88T
"You're done for today, Evan."1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnCbZg1knu
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DDBGHf12M
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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSqfzOhTBu
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuJFCoIxXS
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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ57UiFb1UZ
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qSSIU3cjx
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63pCEUbt5L
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaUH0a4PEY
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lnN6032C1
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP84H9ekY5
"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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2seIvMed1
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsarC73Ty6
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz28b9aCxz
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEylLG2RLt
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1sMCMe8Ew
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfQgBc5UVw
"Clean."1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00liG6O7jJ
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnyqPlc6iI
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrPON8BrNY
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPNe7LuOc2
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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwYUbjHrKI
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUylrs3Uyu
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlz75dE2sG
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNrFQ0NUKB
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVcIlAaUjH
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLjFusbGaD
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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxSzIcGxcv
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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvT6egi7zh
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRncZGF8BHG
"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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpJywh8Ptf
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6vIoB0Q13
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1rJ9qHyxs
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurMAGyauoU
"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."1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v4HoyTnvN
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI61GuxIz0T
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUwDQ5aH93
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL6O44tuG8
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbbC4vFCsg
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlgRdd55hz
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmLSHgMODi
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyaro68BaD
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKF3h2PJm5
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6ocZ8wQwh
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2vIUWgybM
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKT3p2966R
"You little-"1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOg2yhyMhr
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUClulAKpXf
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPORBWyYMyC
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe35jaYSJsS
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yoLTNvxe0
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqi1n9ucmr
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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV70dL4u9pY
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoLeYsFNlj
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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73fenv7Nwz
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFnsfa6cN1
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXnEjPPXb9
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqmlYibRlx
"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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cOFmJloYJ
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXASFjzt93D
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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zfXWCPsGs
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTJ6usll0z
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWago3uVBj
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqAEnkwHb6
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHOKSuRnzh
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vrkiR5sdR
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDjHTtAkIV
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVysbRu0K4
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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsibvz3fAZ7
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YNLXQ5w9o
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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLJ5i0CmGr
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvkiakWDPA
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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVsr6UeUnj
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbz6TPEjLs
"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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nao7iPQZ8
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUdVPJfdha
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTuO2JDnuE
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51Fu7C0Xdy
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NNNIj2xTX
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kOjJqjmk4
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKcdQYHJ6G
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BBvdvQmPG
"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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaR8sLD93u
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YGAaeAx2V
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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9Sp89OhX6
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9MCGafZzU
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4QLqoiuti
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lCOQVxWWX
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIj73HvTZZ
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgDwBOv4ZB
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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u77jMfbMx
"Oh my God,"1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJJUwSE48b
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHDzvPE37d
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56sNiiEHTt
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImWzopsEcn
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCRbFseTA1
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2t6OJGXwU
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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXsWckXBzH
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80W9pg73cl
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqCeyBnfTO
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUTDTM4ahB
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNKZuGvWbE
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0gOnvu4Fe
"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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiahII4yxPh
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUDYikk6el
"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?!"1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr8SBFWcTi
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZZqGiHidW
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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BRqRI3QQG
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlbuDdIPu1
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXCTRnEv4r
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlti76uSP38
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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGTsRL0H3X
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwjY6DFAFZ
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVsj8okJno
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM2UwtSlxh
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBToms09Ah
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bTUl0Otb2
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4aS7w4afR
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0edsHQcoTc
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecBF9CN9iG
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAAKHmPHx5
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2nKZJmD13
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL6iY0K993
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx4YYfanFz
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGQc7CWcGh
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBq31vUW8g
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmtLKljfcE
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmKql5L6Aq
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXnpYoR4Gp
"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."1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOJGh3welc
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSeEOX3D1c
That was all before he hung up.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRNB67oML9
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT8RDsCcv9
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEta9NEcES
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLWlnPI9UW
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.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiwzya1zhT
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDfkIqZf5x
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDpiHSwxKo
1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG7ICyQwba
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFX4FIP2wY
