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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYEAOZlKJ0
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb3MaMaYMj
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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7FBJxBfio
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDLSWDTzU4
"You're done for today, Evan."1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuVAsIKYZu
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmXKXFI5YA
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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOynGZMdDj
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjUlsrwOiN
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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPbG5c5itQ
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCobh8ubb8T
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUyherGgKK
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPxspVczFk
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8lWbkKidO
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthYhy5ZYYL
"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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FFvQNa3to
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssQl4Z8EBH
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5RXJpy1ZD
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIkOOLaaPu
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXIEZAtAff
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUM7OIX3nQ
"Clean."1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8nZ6pIDVo
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mtQwGgUrF
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDNh1M1KS2
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFm8vNG0wx
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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONUxhz1kjb
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEToq1Ni7u
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXx9EjoX1M
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOUaL34D8L
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNOlAZ0QOw
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIxHOY3Koc
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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynWo7xyQIB
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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p9TzPi7FQ
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dpqUMlGM3
"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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5C928xvTA
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8aL2b6S6p
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq2U785LrP
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5onFlwUjg
"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."1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtVwcGMc0G
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTTC0tHmyM
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QrHnv6fLJ
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENLIMch6V7
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThWPj2jZO8
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR829oehis
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QYbzrqR4p
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbFT5TR7em
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWyf7tgnLf
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK5QsGqyjp
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeSSeGIMFD
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXAhXlPZIK
"You little-"1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRSDmQa673
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYIJoXMZBZ
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq1R4B9NFx
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyYeJtBjf7
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1UpIu9kov
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLbroHQ70P
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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bZYIbKnh4
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2YThae4nF
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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYF8GVAyOL
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkt2UHdviV
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8x1lqnPbC
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5E1XoNYGa
"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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB71Quj9vgG
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOsy21EKHq
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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCGB2hpNoJ
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhpvxuwFnr
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrQuEMMIZy
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjTJw82ula
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGssvxqBtq
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzomaWJyAo
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xXeVo4gHU
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbmMl50I0H
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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdraycXMu8d
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJLJYryHB1
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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy1VKoPyrc
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItGH9mkovN
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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoo8H3mthA
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPHVPr40XV
"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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCY7fNZLrn
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhL61UUHtn
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUzFWnC66E
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UZn0xUwn2
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg84csZUTTD
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkROkVoCrMG
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTl9ilcSsJ
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mSS1B9JFY
"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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRk9gpWmTm
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwt0pVXSw3
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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngmGuzKwgB
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb64FPg0RfB
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshPcbPUV8S
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxROzeDjpyL
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxN0r9wVUB
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P4IOgTtYm
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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGAaAj7A5n
"Oh my God,"1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wnhDTJQyD
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiFOBmfDU6
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4teC8QgfJ
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTLJUZVuZs
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgwJeFhkNl
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JmMKj3h4N
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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpTV6NlhpM
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfILYoi7cy
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fg9rI8vlA
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB4SgLYTpT
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ufn5yo0Ef
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYjGP6rFoN
"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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfspQ0W15I
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHF8NMmRNi
"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?!"1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMG99irOrt
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGS3lYk8K3
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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr7wTxDfJ9
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHNEywd0r6
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CO4DzK9gB
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EAOJOHp8O
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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRot6wzjy4t
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO2KKYOqXT
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DdNm4UiWp
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc1BOOFKD0
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hp7zNlIkK
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzoKPlFXKE
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tNolBtlKw
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTAbJOHCzh
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm0EEChcUL
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFnC85NDSw
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgVvNYlZ0Z
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17DVguk7Io
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71BgdWlurN
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXVXSbez0o
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlwMg0UIHF
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolI7SovqqA
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV2LgjZ5qG
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdhBiHBCS3
"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."1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iJGJIPcKD
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rq07ltMSM
That was all before he hung up.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwiqlX9uNE
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXChIPHcgMZ
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKK8wvQkeB
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqnySBzcOP
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.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm9xI1WJXq
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliNH3nN6dn
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqCaRtgMaG
1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AYRjvWjV6
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1484Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fvYJYo7eQ
