robbers

It had already passed ten minutes after she had left the boys to let them do their stuff. What are they taking so long? If this is how long they took to rob some chips, they definitely aren't qualified for the job. Annoyed, Zoe got up from her seat, tucking in her phone in her back pocket and walked over again to the back of the store.

"Hurry, up. Would you?" She sighed.

She stopped to look at both boys, comfortably sitting against an empty counter while munching on some cheetos, and taking sips of water. Oh, so just because she let them do their thing, they decide it's a great time and place to take the time to even have a snack break?

"What the hell are you doing?" Zoe said through gritted teeth.

"Calm down, we are leaving soon. Just decided to take a break." Luke said stuffing a hand full of hot cheetos on his mouth, which Zoe could tell which was a bit hard with their masks still on.

"Yeah." The other one said plainly which made Zoe even more frustrated.

"I can get fired!" She said crossing her arms.

"Fine, we'll just leave right now if it's such a big problem. Simple solution." The 'main' guy said standing up and putting his hands up in surrender.

Zoe felt bad, this was a bad habit for Zoe. She was a bit... bipolar? She wanted to kick them out, but they probably had a rough day. Maybe that's why they want to commit suicide by eating food from the drugstore. Finally she sighed and pushed him back down to the floor.

"Fine, fine. But if my boss comes. It's all on you."

"Thanks babe." Luke said, she could hear his smile.

"Eww, stop."

It was weird how she was acting. Why would she let this go by? They were criminals. They should be locked up. Not eating chips and chilling with creepy masks on. After another ten minutes, the sounds of munching stopped. They had left.

Somehow Zoe felt lonely, she wanted to know them a bit better. What were their intentions? Why Fred's Shop? Surely Food City, the grocery store across the store was much better. She just blamed the many fictional stories she read online. They are robbers. She reminded herself. Criminals.

It wasn't long before her shift ended, Calum, the person who also had the disgrace to work there, gave her a small smile as she punched in her schedule card. They didn't talk much. All they did was share a small smile or a quiet 'bye', nothing much. Either way, Zoe wasn't much of a social person.

Trying her best to cover her head by the pouring rain, she jogged over to her old Ford Pinto. It was a gift, from her dad. At first, she hated it, but she later came used to the ugly blue color which she later learned to love the color.

Quickly she opened the door of her car and jumped inside. She inhaled the sweet scent her car held, it almost reminded her of starburst, although she never remembered ever leaving the packet of sweets in her car. But whatever it made her car smell so delightful, she never wished it would go away.

It had been a long day, so the familiar scent made her relax. Zoe closed her eyes and took in everything around her. The pouring rain made a rhythmic sound against her car. It was calming.

After the small therapy session, she finally sighed and opened up her eyes. She waited for the dangerously pouring rain to calm down before she fianlly turned on the engine.
