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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWWtAi6bE3
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLDrJKS9RI
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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJxOmw0WFV
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryoxSoOGO4
"You're done for today, Evan."1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMafwzgtkCg
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Uk6EUXJDU
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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TGoh9O55d
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnxsbGnnGG
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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh14hprfdC
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQlLo73Hbn
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1S4TIEPbr
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqkzcOd9Kz
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfzOCrz3fj
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCvAqndcrm
"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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC9plBD1EI
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIBXgxyrIM
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTWXSww4RY
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWLyZjav3q
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PLQScI7GV
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LelB8usRV
"Clean."1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FusQGBdEU
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkYp2pGQ0s
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnrOT4sJvQ
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctrPcJlP6C
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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jqvSgABjK
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NxiaEPaFL
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23sP97vCGH
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8AcBuK4IP
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTDvAhrYPp
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9uSundRVg
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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBQ7kdwUhI
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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxix2h7ezlz
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvP85a4xHE
"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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCnnwuoYEB
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5JrZQxBGz
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKaq5J046S
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pUvK7tpxC
"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."1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGST9Od2yS
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCWT1zfl0e
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvDQE8FUnr
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFnmdbct0r
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoUneW7qeG
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDyQ6zr7Wv
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz0NdICexD
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgorbx1A2sI
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxwVbdFMiI
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUHik4XzS3
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqhfMtc82l
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwswVGoPYj
"You little-"1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLPVJMiJnf
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlhV7LN7oc
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6I9jWppxL
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUMKVaz2yx
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4jBLQmKhT
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTKWOQR4ka
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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSp76kmLnF
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYacuT6GeU
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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MIzmq2DjY
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiRq57XqLC
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWfbwJbXiD
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmOzm0CqYM
"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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1SLst2jw2
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK6tlmNQyK
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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF6L5NdbqR
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5wfoKpGbN
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlUVcU8Yun
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok9D1aRjJf
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfdzOaXE4j
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g3eQedUVt
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2aLAry9eY
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOhWmSLkYL
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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVpVGWTP42
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRy5Is2FDn
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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeGXnm1Dro
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZJ3FCMCCH
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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYZBvPa5wn
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0FKJCZ3Gc
"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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHMf46N2Sa
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtjn0hl5VP
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7tk74EEzd
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGXBQ1kbdG
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIe6dRZNaX
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlEXykMSB4
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfDFZycpjy
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLcL7xM8Tu
"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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8KKR8BewP
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTPK5PrjAk
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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNsxKwrxG2
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NthIxGP95
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05FwSXEvEY
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pVWVw8NnX
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp8rK7VjEO
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxzjBTeO0t
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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSLWcfU33y
"Oh my God,"1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSB5cuuCow
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSXimfMEdh
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0I2nSIosN
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstvGl4VvD6
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc8TDqcbYj
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXzoZY4HVq
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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUmnBoXlte
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0p22S8TUK
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMFYhu5CPq
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGS4dhVy8k
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ijWbg866g
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf3mthGzVD
"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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqedcL9Q1P4
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJBSxG19Or
"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?!"1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7hWecY7cD
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRp2WfHGeJ
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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYvyVjA49c
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEANWmSRGr
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwe9pyTW2L
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1CNZ8MhpM
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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cLPEbTnNY
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx784CGBMoe
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nkz1RQamF
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwHwCXTvl8
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh83LaAMCBQ
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRmqFbwDNb
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLiMweBl1R
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvHYlaiB5h
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntzVgBJj4X
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBbeApl9qW
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96Lo7KJs0s
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPLXknmSHX
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKXw2VFDeH
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3CUutyQag
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwGhvFZDv0
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHgnyah9M8
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAimG7a5kw
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAiMacrhbd
"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."1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6aGfofc6W
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYriXkRu6G
That was all before he hung up.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIpPyBpqOw
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoFe740LNp
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMcNMVoa9c
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9I8GG2G1T
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.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDc5Imm9wf
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm95UIBITh
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeFqDkbABd
1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLjjsJi8u8
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1398Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6T6bmHGeF
