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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsehXSmdwg
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OTuYEV7TM
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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxars99ScTc
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFgx8bWjRY
"You're done for today, Evan."1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fo5PSZJcz
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzIH9exqqO
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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmkQB4xtqm
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQu5dgywHa
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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCZ0q5RyZv
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm4FhIlUoZ
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wiIq4azlu
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp2kxsv5hK
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a38HLleQO
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pB5Krv9i3
"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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSQrvGqFCi
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIF4Ei4FqH
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvDoxQOCrz
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJZFHOtGBN
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtOFLLHP67
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uMHbmfzOP
"Clean."1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoXmIFB0HT
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaWm8rRMLt
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4l8b8zVAn
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2wDg8SuwU
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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqyQnUaELE
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS7Il98uLq
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRh2a2lpyM
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZo5lVuK9K
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgUggiCSIl
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrFvoddB71
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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8No4LLfh40
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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqJO9CTfsx
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCMtVFgk5H
"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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMeTQMo1jl
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwCGiLQJSB
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4HM9ZaNHy
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE81ESP7wT
"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."1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaqlKHcJcP
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFi3AaVGYk
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctabOAggkW
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPAiuGCrEU
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq9T7eGWdj
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGICUfLgXFh
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWkF4vjwnA
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMzuXe9CM4
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv71YTN2qr
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJMp74F1nN
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBdAS6lKsF
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OMhn2ELCE
"You little-"1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEkaABfgo7
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaror0Kibm
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17ymZv2B7I
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfYVDtF02i
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3XeAGR99Z
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5kMhqMtb4
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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuuulOEvJS
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLARrujpW5
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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJIUT4WDx6
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdEJCQq22z
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYHHHDnrmo
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexG32WY2kc
"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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWqH5oOMjz
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3pAYMKcZS
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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iSDwNubGI
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd34pHEIAWN
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4OrYLzXMJ
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lcjHyvztc
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSinMtH8mOh
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO97vDGSSoi
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquESsAWJQ4
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsouMJQwMO
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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiCXmxKrul
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn9s9QVBnG
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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJsX5skgss
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJdLDdCZm9
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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI5CyIRElR
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYV5vuQBwS
"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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9JRqnpRV2
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtFtKAcaDu
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsviLKNi0EC
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXffZWBH9iL
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwRsnfbfrx
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XyTP5yl88
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wR9PMhjSp
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPvcbyJLaN
"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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1136HF3Pj
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE51dcKn3g
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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGHTOGk1Dt
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyMGQaIeBq
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiubPITm3go
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoXQXsOtbd
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZA01VhQjH
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9dlu72gXQ
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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZmg4oVqhp
"Oh my God,"1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezL9DPCkVn
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbCcJjBCMu
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwYFvFRNBS
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefZY2Rx7AE
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZckIfRcJxp
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu7IsTi0Pu
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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfiaC7HmZU
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtNHW21QfE
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO0GAWGryk
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGzeu8ojsd
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zOUzYHlWe
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQXjVQV2j5
"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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O2M322AaP
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZJFa6aeCa
"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?!"1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSqvwjz35B
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmLAfs6TsK
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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdyPFi1Pei
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rnb3658sH
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYYgRNUUQT
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKsgoHhrj9
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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLJTFqjaV2
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2JXOrPG46
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMJV9Mlhb4
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JNxjtKmQl
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6JXB9bBSH
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbnhH2hIrZ
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQkqB9uOSS
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsMDXarWDD
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69ZVb1hlIp
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd5MBMOS7w
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt19KznIKwb
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kkgA3zGyC
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofnrbtxC8u
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmax1aY2a6
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCkc3dWM5I
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYnOJjQNwO
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoHpUMabmx
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSlslPfDUs
"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."1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV58CQl5hIk
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWPmOyjUXq
That was all before he hung up.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVHnsibCpi
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOrNwLWtX9
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm33v2wURh
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJobbWLHII5
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.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwlTdZ4Rlk
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71yIOSg3g1
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu9G4IDDJj
1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELVkeyJr3q
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRmm5X2d8F
