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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BTQqS5N0n
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT3Ftjoomn
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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErjDYzH0Tj
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKSJAev832
"You're done for today, Evan."1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSrpkwWCXv
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPcnxUmxPh
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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpgTqRHVtv
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfDTblSTWv
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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0hrOsQYPU
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T1MPmsRYK
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52uLWokUjo
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24rTj5Hfig
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkJY43pvBd
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupvQquNo28
"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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCHZqnBbm2
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqq0v3jIBg
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7dqflyIJP
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96mLh009H8
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnDz2jTDez
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y1O1gkXKi
"Clean."1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDbDcagN0y
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FGaH0VbHs
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraQY3nqLG2
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dZT58kMGu
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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwiMLBVKR8
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc89rVcEdz8
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa6MJxVFL0
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnxyt7mMpR
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNH25HsQuF
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3KE2I6Dc4
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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIwvjpE4Z2
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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W6NucfwF1
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7W9GT5DoQ
"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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlShYPSMi2
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIX0NXaS4d
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tg8Mlqb9r
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsuaIgJTmX
"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."1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziEDqm1do2
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofatDHw6IO
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg9q50EDmR
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K7tNwjylI
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpBaqhH7xo
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtVIDE5R8Z
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdUEYw0U3d
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKIqBhLS6m
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZYfMitwRr
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31O5lOVXa1
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cb3JVyeNg
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNslPc9h68
"You little-"1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuqeWU2d6a
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQF7Cca6UT
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3BicQ7G7Q
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5y2NiXsB1
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DHd9d301p
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOQF3Cjv4H
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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo2hCSURJu
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S10iYXccV
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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmHZbJ6M5X
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgruIhZxwf
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5DyztTHQA
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEJVjMZIDg
"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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExmd2HAsyW
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPms0q64tL
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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zo3yv4yyj
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAKgT3RCdM
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1X0Jw0MQk
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUpvMX916N
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhnDh20sLa
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmKWBdY37M
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cneRAGiVd
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBuGLMOVLz
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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3htcwGw5dh
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYT3LYLgCP
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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qpnahb2Mr
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwaWAEwZRf
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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q4LImRQVK
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hy6jj37eW
"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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hy6Xvzayd
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HkVOn50N1
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnF0kfvIrq
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH0Qq3o38D
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmzb8igGzv
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhZd4grFyH
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q5s5PZKgn
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNWWb0MzaF
"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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaJUDVY6ha
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZmrTOWupL
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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOXnek4Sdw
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4vWjfUHrh
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgzUTIaJ6u
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYpVtypafg
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuClX8NB2y
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpG4lJ4vEv
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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtjRfVWTht
"Oh my God,"1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmBoj7oKmN
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBnW58zhuM
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxEhq5TIAH
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd1WHjpXhr
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJwdxFLWB9
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HdD5aizgu
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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktMlPZoD3N
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIO6427xjz
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l91Oe5IXC
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRWM0gRBrR
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9vYGabys0
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXmSQk4xyP
"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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IFuTthBMZ
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcCE8GunUB
"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?!"1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWoqRL71jS
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQZ80nvbLJ
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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdtBXz3e9n
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLKxWkPNMq
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblgUVxmkNC
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zjZvOBJks
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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcUm2gNGFE
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOPNDnWLBd
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ4Z8YCyci
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrWxRDo5Nk
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2cfc7wATQ
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MhLR8P1NR
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yF279udbv
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdg4Eb4Tdc
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJLleNhJYH
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes2rb7JFFP
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rbzioUro2
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRgRoG3L9P
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBFg4GcSX7
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8d47KJ6j9
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8qr6bxyHo
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDSlep7B9b
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQFAiI08Nx
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZm2t6H2RK
"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."1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxXwGhoUUH
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1krhROkUMl
That was all before he hung up.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT4aTTVBhq
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgxsb7Sv2R
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx16xOSkD5
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvoseCgX9W
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.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47sAYjK5Pz
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGKRxqCJ0r
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMdfzQVyQm
1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RpO5P1Lmy
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJwT7PPrvY
