The worst part of working the night shift at a store is having too close it.

You need to check the inventory, lock cash register along with the door. And put the mannequins in the storage room.

I hate to do the last part, those things scary the living shit out of me. 

I close everything and start to pick them up. 

While I'm going back and forth, I hear something falling behind me.

Reluctant I turn around to see one of the mannequins fell from the support.

You know what, that's a tomorow me problem, when it's day.

I go to pick the last two and froze in fear.

They are in a different position. Arms slightly up and heads turn in my direction.

I'm about to run off that place, but something holds me.

I scream and get ready to hit whatever it is.

- Hey, hands down.- It's my friend and also coworker.- I didn't knew you could get scared so easly.

- When i'm supposed to be alone in the store I get.- I said more relieved.- Why did you come back?

- I forgot my jacket. Need help finishing?

- Can you just put those two in the storage, please.- I point to the mannequins.

- Sure.

After that we leave and I close the door.

- Never do that again, you know the mannequins scare me.

- I didn't do anything to the mannequins. I was just planning to startle you while distracted.- He says looking at me confuse.

-What?- I said in a whisper.

We were standing at the store entrance, the air getting colder, when we hear a notice comming from the inside.
