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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGGnhcsisU
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVwmVyAXjg
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1zY6XqxSY
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgCAeIQLoU
"You're done for today, Evan."1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHym4SniOBw
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfFckH38YU
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImvl6SVn6L
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq9RMkPoGW
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNiF0ClSGb
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCGNQht6DG
"Oh, hey boss! You came in early today." She started leisurely.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q3Z3P8Su2
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XqnqzDdqB
He narrowed his eyes at her, grumbling some swears under his breath before finally answering loudly.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5GvDHSxpa
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XqNFanQLV
"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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY35isDIKp
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT2X8scEQj
She only blew the gum in his face as response.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWABCaJa83
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA6i6GJS2f
The old man rolled his eyes before he pushed her towards a shelf.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv6Les2L6v
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqdATdZava
"Clean."1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIgTUy66Gb
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WSNrEBt2y
She rolled her eyes but started to swipe correctly.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmzkZQD6wD
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBbon51iR8
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0xNJu7XI0
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtmRBI1Spa
Abby watched curiously as the three men stopped in front of her boss and looked down on him with a scowl.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiU5vSfxEg
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufqQKhAiMM
"Dewy, Dewy, Dewy. I thought you were smarter than that." The man with the scowl begun.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6kXT7XnV1
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlln1PylUeF
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOTldptQWF
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLPrqALIkJ
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcMoAD2zm1
"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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRWsjyVUK3
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe1mott6j8
The leader of the pack clicked his tongue, not content with the response he got.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHzpMtPnVi
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKwl3las7s
"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."1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQQLd6ozN5
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWJjr2DWRq
She gulped but once he narrowed his eyes at her, she complied.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCtAH7Fkdl
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQos0IdBpC
"You see this guy here. Does he look trustworthy to you?" The blond in the unfitting red suit asked.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAYSb5AzUH
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8Onz6tvTb
Abby glanced at her boss from the corner of her eye before shaking her head.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuAJ4o4Qt4
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM60psXMchR
"Not really. He always cuts my salary." She bluntly admitted. 1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYlvMOXrg6
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlY99lnnyC
The three men laughed loudly before the tallest one made a gun with his hand and pointed it at the boss.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8DBwiqsvX
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LBdKA7xAt
"You little-"1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qJk9ch863
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6uzLntAs7
The manager didn't have time to scold his employee because the blond shouted.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kvHTsyRnS
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylwtfLntVL
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLZBzfhiLR
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqeNhOKXSZ
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8P5nv3z3N
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRUvLPAHZ3
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS6QawkAyS
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCXfuKqxLI
However, the tall blond let his eyes travel up and down her body before making a sign for the others to come closer.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYWSXPQPkx
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfatFBZpxy6
"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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuXeNEWxT0
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMWSe54w6e
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0rWIl5Wvf
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJiuLCVUmA
The same tall blond was ready to grab Abby when a shelf spontaneously fell aside.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8YKhQoeux
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa35EePQ8wk
"Go check if there's anyone else here." He ordered the others and they actually complied without a word.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1uAd6MTKP
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPzpE5FY9o
Abby raised an eyebrow, already getting over the shock of seeing someone getting shot in front of her.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x23MLkOb8
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirhKWbpDrT
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9FpPCAgEm
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgFo5AdICT
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XwrQfGMNC
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYLv368pUw
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4i9B8caAp
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIHoUCCDdk
"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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSBkJPxqku
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgyV80qJzj
Evan was panicking enough, she didn't have to add more fuel to the fire.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4MWCfKctz
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrTfeIx18m
"We have to steal a car!" Evan suddenly said and stopped.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKDKUqTVCE
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXJ8wNkU1B
Abby stopped behind him and stared at him like he was an idiot.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgLPyC4S4B
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iDacc6vnT
"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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQEaRov1zu
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLxF937BRQ
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L59NmwIaJ
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJfKOpo6RQ
Abby hurried in the passenger seat, not taking a second glance at the colateral victim.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNaVoSZas2
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20jCQ3HeI4
"Go!Go!" She screamed once he got in.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2jE1OVsrc
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sSACJBiex
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJWeGNlf6A
"Oh my God,"1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUxsVoF1nm
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ161Un5zb0
She sighed in relief, feelinmg her heartbeats slowing down to a normal pulse. They could finally breathe and relax.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNeS9tyBGV
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsybsUvqNge
"I think we lost them for now." He said calmly, checking on the review mirror.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5Z8ll7ZKq
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdDDjfV8Nr
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvSCD4r3VC
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmNKWK4uyK
"Wasn't that amazing? We had our first meeting with mafia." She started, bitting her lower lip in excitement.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX88D9aEEWE
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIzhEl7pQw
Evan frowned and threw her a weird look.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGa43x8wDj
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9ZaO4JWnn
"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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXSE9g1hVy
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIlSN4JCD6
"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?!"1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiy8NEL5Xg
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXqFiKLMMA
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZCC83Pa4m
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW7gaXgqrG
"You're crazy. Have you not understood what happened? They're going to kill us if they ever catch a glimpse of our faces!"1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyH6eS8ou7
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJkaMvZF9V
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh7RxTUzVM
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ5rQj5vUs
Abby leaned back and looked ahead, her joyful expression cracking here and there.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT3urmxn6w
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm07hZlSov3
"Calm down, we lost them. We're safe." She answered, feeling her hands tremble now that the adrenaline was fading away.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYmsAueoR2
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86eeVz89wr
"For now." Evan added curtly. He took a sudden turn and stopped the car before closing his eyes and sighing dramatically.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPEoNuvGNE
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuiWPLD4on
Abby blinked curiously when he dropped his head on the steering wheel.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHAXZ4I4lx
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7hMTYUCAN
"We're so doomed!" Evan whined.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ980e3Sk4lP
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEieWQYFtE
Suddenly, her phone rang, surprising both of them. They glanced at each other suspiciously before she responded with Evan staring intensely at her.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F8yjPSOIp
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq8vX6OhGa
"He-Hello?" She breathed out, not recognizing the number.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB29i4kv7y
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM8aRbYcZV
The voice on the other side was deep and manly. He breathed in the receiver, making her shiver.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1MWFhi3Md
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eTivy55Eh
"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."1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpnB6VATyU
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXwSZ8gDWd
That was all before he hung up.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK2YahDglP
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqrP19fSN1
"Who was that?" Evan asked, breathing heavily since he had an idea already.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6RMTec0K4
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A70LAORzI
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.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3wrEHREJE
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQVNase4ME
"We're doomed." She repeated, looking down at her hands.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8jy9K1L2x
1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWR4jq0LLL
Evan groaned and dropped his head back on the steering wheel.1519Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWUFq2qmLq
