Rain falling down on the sidewalk like tears.

Splashing when the car wheels spin in them.

Rain mixing with the wet dirt making a muddy mess.

I look at the clock for the time to be 7:57 two more minutes to eight then that makes a half an hour to go. I hear a sound but not able to compare it to anything. In the back of my head say note to go to it but my curiosity takes over. My body shifts out its spot.

Slowly moving ever so carefully to get over to the spot to where I heard the weird sound. Then the sound goes to somewhere else not sure where or if it's really real. I have been here since. Well let's just say a long time. I just gave up my search around the store for the weird sound and just went back to my old spot and shifted oh so slowly to feel comfortable for the next half hour.

Looking across the room just looking for random things to get my attention. Then I spot it a hat but not any hat well that's not true it's a baseball hat but this one had a nice picture woven into it of a dog the dog was so small on it at first I thought it was just a stain. I didn't hear anyone it must have been when I got up to look for the noise. I stop in fear to just think about what if that was the noise.

"Heellloo?" I say in a shaky voice

I hear the weird sound again but it wasn't exactly the same this time I can't describe it to something. It sounded like a cat fighting yet like pans smashing together.

I decide on walking around the place to figure out what was going on. I look around the wall to see a lurking shadow taking up the place on the cream colored walls. I look at the wall near the desk to see the clock reading 8:10 why does time take long. I continue to walk to see a young women at the what looked like the age 21 had beautiful hair that almost any girl would be want picking things from a shelf and putting them in her basket and turn to the other side and doing the same. I turn around and then look back to see her trying to get something I walk over to her asked " May I help you Miss?"

The lady looks surprised and says no thanks but ask for my name.

" Oh well if you want to know its hunter." I say back politely

She just nodded back and went back to what she was doing. So I went back to the desk and just wait till she was done. But it wasn't till then that I knew she was not done I hear her sweet voice and and sweet smile that can brighten anyone's day looking me in the eye with a cold silver gun in her hand pressed to my now tensed head with sweat going down it. I listen closely to what she has to say and the words I heard was " You're being robbed give me all of this place money." I look at the clock one more time to to see it read 8:27....
