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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9kvPvDzgx
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0pLQQL64U
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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f8Sq78pJk
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOgXuSnaJW
"You're done for today, Evan."1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1Y7oUn1sg
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeLXGc3DkM
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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFIWrILbet
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBbWTtKdIo
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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuV597k8oJ
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnXcfpu2Aa
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AzhKPPfx3
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLlCFYEOhx
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItzA6spd11
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Jbloqy8S
"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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9Kqncb0yv
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuOJMy3sru
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCDwaHp2er
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxhwI09qwn
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pElTY2Rh1
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe906Soakb7
"Clean."1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH304dkriWW
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnPZBbyuto
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrLcH1QlXX
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM56iMvdPhu
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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fKIi5pomN
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsqcuJG06E
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XkNOS6Sce
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa8qCRsaYD
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH6zqhpgTe
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDsJbLlhSH
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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK8rx4R0Ep
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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25Dp2DxE1C
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzvnXkc6OM
"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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMM8BxWvtX
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV7BJX73B9
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kpeIrBTOp
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfYTCwaeXL
"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."1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRyNPLh6GC
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ira5LutA0
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzW42cxoFj
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19oMV7SpMt
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUvMAznjTq
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOnJjVQYgp
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMTx2U3dw7
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCcgwmoLBi
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC3T9cNAOE
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuz8fdnVX6
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKub4ymANv
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jA90IgtKb
"You little-"1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBVeSNHxIN
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLomEd9AhBE
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKQrPX8Ysh
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ1cdszqbD
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54zY5HB6Xm
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36ouMLqJ2k
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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKiiIYwHWR
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStiyKqtdoJ
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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlA6jGlNZR
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxJ4jZVp2d
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbcInwHIHm
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIKkBxvgw2
"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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5cqKHbKEq
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1tJQJk4mh
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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQoXobTM1o
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU0KAOIa5k
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cOokTXMzw
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbuNZHeiRH
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgDgWXDd72
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXWjcuMezf
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHUcqloKdk
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp52T3dxRee
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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEEM4zkOyb
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHClrJY0KIN
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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Uf7xFVMS5
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwvWwaOVhc
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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX2t4qocbW
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSs5q092NE
"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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEMtabGFZ9
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO5x4kJgVj
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcyDWSm2Mq
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMrLsIqm3L
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYegPywEVT
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVTmL28Rvh
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfYHxSILeV
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a5Xq2KWZU
"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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1glkwlTrZw
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmkqWRjzi3
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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCudKrMYRA
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLrbWNux2l
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62St49CcGq
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkSsmr0iWr
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7IpTzuDv5
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXfkyegidg
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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvUu7BI0ah
"Oh my God,"1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEbaiF0k9B
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqp0AgLZyM
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8BJ7w9dVx
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBVW3pkNvG
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzZAgBmJEj
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIanAPiu3q
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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48zsazKdlH
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJtE9Zt5TV
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIpCPgsoCu
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfzubm2RJT
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDM35zCe8F
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKPpmiMSc5
"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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NUySjTLPY
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshl6B9kBfN
"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?!"1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNZlFILs3S
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLHJptTwEM
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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzyVN3xaQF
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPwBkQTIJ4
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJt1sw00xh
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuripfciQKq
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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymBo3uSdvW
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou90vvPLKs
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGCfT8wrtd
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYz4I45hav
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2PKL1aRux
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitLETMjCCp
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox7W5dC5aY
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg7OWZfCb2
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFKlYXmm1w
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIsyKgCvXJ
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6CR7WfML7
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W9jJy0QDq
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9OHMAVWBx
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXpCGQ1kqd
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iEuMXUTPQ
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiniari53PU
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfkulHErfb
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HISJVQVQ6
"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."1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosBTPLA1Jv
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hVVIUqeG7
That was all before he hung up.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqvMVkW2Ij
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE1FoaUnod
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6kOhqgIr8
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyhjMqOdbP
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.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF40jVU5ZSf
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwNoO7Bz1G
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZfxZReiwV
1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WJhTTFbDJ
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOPW06bcps
