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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzdVRvPJxf
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXn4IctASm
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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR7k513Y9C
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49AsinAi7h
"You're done for today, Evan."1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlmodMWGJk
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjilH3hORE
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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz48PteWnXB
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwRes9y2JH
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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar8Wko3X9C
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2TKdvvsHN
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxbwP1OOvm
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMGmVwoOld
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAoeNwndIt
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtq1CG68XF
"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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPufs9nI8mX
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2S239lADi
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP2R6W26bU
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aLgyNpdza
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf71WXxxzsR
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I8C2amezJ
"Clean."1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToHbfQYcvl
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQUjY4rrb4
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTpUReXw3s
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQabVElSdc
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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclAPJATK4j
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpjXttBH8i
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D5hxnkdeq
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2Y0W20mvM
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKLZsTVHCt
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqS2LGARxo
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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX6MryQ2NR
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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqRJoCxLWM
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rRj1pca0K
"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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P1QuBMTfy
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eSss8fyfV
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P8bURs9AT
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOY46PEJx2
"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."1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaGBHrh9DJ
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdVDdhWPFt
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA9JuWS0PZ
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSGhXh76Y9
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGZL9zhMHy
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOqHZGFITk
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cRsnVIXEa
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pdr4soT62
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R6DJqaYMM
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FB3T046Em
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdDtWvzJtt
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYec8DPqIoo
"You little-"1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JKnXfvXfT
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqkMUht1kQ
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR9mngJuoV
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt293ri8QF
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXlNrqTEu2
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTv5nSOF1m
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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqZW30Uqc2
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdEPb6CSNL
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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLv7ytRe7u
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYlu7FiySc
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwXpxOdbdT
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCEet1kA22
"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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNiftxIcIY
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6XnVeCd1u
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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpxp28tMzz
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDa384EsCO
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHbYfTDw8C
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7StL3puRiS
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeVmSWkLzm
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqtnaybKZl
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgl0jS4KPb
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOeZdiEkLu
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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg1aGdH9SU
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOhWVBxSWd
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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuego2SKqwS
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MFIYC6VQH
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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT8ApTyiPV
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObnyEmopnS
"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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLedbLLwYL
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1qd0HaMGP
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPrg3U2Xry
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5If1DwQ3w
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIUJ4wps0c
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4gJXKcoos
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxceQvYMA0
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHpn6zDOOZ
"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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNMxmkUJMn
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9mndk5ATR
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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W7vtlQu02
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nPyqaQgsz
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAHf0gh6Kp
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvrllT3XHq
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhOGKhq21k
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV8HRIRsPi
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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm90JdYER3M
"Oh my God,"1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9Y3Md59W3
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LCLdvnSVa
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt5nrjiI4d
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWtr8BLxk2
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4IiNGXyVD
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRUdEQJ8VO
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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWax4yGoM6
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO30fNcutR
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6CPk9Tbmw
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHErjrhKENq
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5CEtJsjFX
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhduo4Tg2Is
"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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJGhFBRQ3l
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsu53t4DqV
"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?!"1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewWUAylljp
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqe1gvIMxj
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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR79C0DdR7
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMZyYq23Ib
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEegFv2hG9R
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYpqV98C9v
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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCRUqc5Zu1
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa54P8cm62d
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xg1nBEMz4
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6IpjiEMA8
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZEjkB9Ypl
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxPgRn00Dx
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgMgbNpl5T
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAGZLAdKci
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG14qTA570I
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzboSoeVQBO
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu0sPFy5ee
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4iHawO3oW
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6Vw4UI9My
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUkY7xfR8O
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKXWlHtWnY
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRFo7xK7MB
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVKXdVQRiC
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxePWmWGTu
"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."1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0pnW3vxwH
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWWqqh7B0X
That was all before he hung up.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ7PYMrlH4
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGibATFpTD
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwuEKTxw9s
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgn4rPbWc6
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.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF8srtJU2y
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaM2akyi8d
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xMvNevZ14
1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRm3B4iTlM
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpglvnEJCGB
