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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50Z96qUJFu
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8oQQ0TyqZ
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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFllB6Tn0fo
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1McXJVYfW
"You're done for today, Evan."1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MWLMDpUwk
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e7agVEm7e
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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAN9BG1BQP
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjluvPZ3jX
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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGnaSlDG2F
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl0OS14LyQ
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXXXXj3dml
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm7JvzozUP
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2omCatnE7
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMhRDe8F94
"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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVxRIdy6sV
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgs92snF6B
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCJVfiD7yF
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSYGO0TCda
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d7up2YmIA
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVgj6Qx4Zz
"Clean."1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv4uGk9XUs
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81ZdHCUZa6
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW6XYZp2Bo
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CLqiZYezQ
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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKwD19TE5j
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHiToIMcX5
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGkPpOKV1g
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjCdPv7zCw
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbUd6d1xKE
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyvTz6ux5l
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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ4pS7a8OK
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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwImx1bZyaH
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bittbd0zD
"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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgguAgVNILX
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFAhgnVpx2
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GiHmObhN0
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdK9cOKIMr
"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."1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wbno3NRwK
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNOlflNNUD
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH46jEs3ig
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK0W7fyGQQ
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt788NCon3
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RDybKx3Dp
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM5kL4TG8z
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZKMicYMhC
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1OZqI5URr
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy9obTmFeE
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFTm2cNfdu
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB60NCq3O3U
"You little-"1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx7t0Cx6hY
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4uLb2CcGA
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz1fK2Fz5K
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMSh4h2FSZ
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXFYVqiRvi
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQqaGilWl2
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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvh5zCn1xp
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPO5RvkQTK
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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOVnDGH7Ho
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDGUHXVumJ
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZuBn2J0zz
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhCznWgugD
"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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqltUBzXtO
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ2aaeemms
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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MCmlKguMQ
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ofCztbdMR
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaqCNQB4Qf
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V3FJOBYEy
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5PYtpmRat
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuTJsxf4kh
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnparHqm2HH
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST2WIgC91W
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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFCYeWt6bR
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGxWKttxe3
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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQizsxokdyL
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhnw7hXspR
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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzoeZ4m2VX
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt07OY9P4Jh
"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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUxa5uoVaB
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEDTrVXCZm
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx4H8IAQMq
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWOH2opbwp
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi87dDu7XL7
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcB8md09Qj
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKivOf3Yuo
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tdXMcuoEq
"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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfodHzFpe66
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM5XeaTdnS
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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ1EZg63LI
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoSL1OE3RD
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo62wfKfgR8
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBKtRLBw0W
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRTZq2TNpK
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdLc9hszTG
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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaYkG8YB70
"Oh my God,"1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEhiLhmUYr
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiitNNccQvp
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjd87QCiW5
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreTi0OgEf4
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdgmLaOAVa
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZQATX4r1U
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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYAY6LBDSf
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BgB9arOyO
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpH1F8R50E
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnQqTbAgzQ
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAiZD6sRsY
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR45bWLovt
"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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6mz6QR0Je
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBau7tjuLNB
"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?!"1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDYLybXdFI
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TMLt3hVJs
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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZM9JU0kfV
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtvi8u8NXL
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQZcaDnK2D
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRXuk0oyXH
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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fyRjcishc
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7AAUCG9Mr
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpnfJoCKrF
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q4gxBItW4
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOsqOx9ggl
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqCzruIn0D
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqpUoKdyfY
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDRsow5b1b
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b2ABsXHQx
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgQxpMdNYq
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHCDWZOxu6
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMLL9gsi2K
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0uj5ZygDv
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt2ijltuC5
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFriUu4bW3
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl3oMwkMHZ
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEfaQfeXsN
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpuWm4W1ev
"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."1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTajXo8qCQ
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IblGBT7pR
That was all before he hung up.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmIzKNpEOk
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQgMsOG8sM
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAKC4yrWI9
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbwdqeB553
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.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPje73MlO7
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyWPcP3sER
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jTN00Ul4l
1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfQj2PT12f
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZecmOfVe7P
