After seeing the gun through the window, Abel panicked. He tried getting the attention of the two inside but to no avail. Then, he saw something under the counter which made him panicked more.
Under the counter, though he can barely see, was blood.
Abel, with his adrenaline pumping, triggered something inside him—something that only appears when his adrenaline hit the maximum. That something is a power, unlike any normal human, because Abel is a powered being.
His muscles became firm, his voice deeper, and his veins even more prominent. Lastly, his speed and strength increased tenfold.
He smashed the store window into pieces and went to tackle the clerk onto the ground.
"What the fucking hell is happening?!" shouted by a confused Richie.
"The wines! The chips! OUR JOBS!" Dee screams. She was more focused on the items on the list than the events happening around at that moment.
"Guys! I think this man's a criminal!" Abel shouted as he wrestles with the thief on the ground.
"No, shit? 'Ya think?!" Richie replied shouting sarcastically from where he is hiding.
Abel and the thief struggled ‘til finally, he got the thief in a choke hold. The thief, even with Abel's force, continued firing his gun in an attempt to get free.
"Sleep already!" Abel shouted in frustration while keeping the choke hold. He and the thief struggled and wrestle on the floor.
Bullets were flying, hitting and bouncing off of everything.
Dee and Richie wanted to help Abel but could only scream behind the counter because of the stray bullets.
The small bodega store was in chaos.
Out of nowhere, a shadow loomed over Abel and the thief who right now are struggling on the floor.
Abel looked up at the one causing the shadow. It was somebody in a masked carrying a rifle.
"Shit!" was Abel's last word as the masked individual hit him heavily in the head with the butt of the knocked out.
Abel was knocked-out for a while. With his grip lightened, the man got free. The two thieves quickly grabbed all they could in the counter, including Richie's bag with the wine in it. They put everything in a big black traveling bag and rushes outside making their escape.
"They took the wine bottles!" Dee shouted. "Follow them!"
Dee was about to follow when Richie grabbed her hand and stopped her.
"What! That's dangerous Dee. Stay, we could just get more at the wine rac…" Richie was about to point out the rack that contains the wines but stopped when he realizes all the wine were crushed and broken due to the stray bullets and struggles.
The three looked at each other for a second. Then breaking the silence, Abel stated, "We are so fired."
This time it was Richie who shouted.
"Damnit! Like I said, follow them!"
As Richie said this, Abel was already on his way to the door.
Dee quickly followed but before leaving completely, she told Richie, "Rich grab all the chips, and cigarettes then get the van and follow us." Then she slammed the door behind her.
Richie recklessly grabbed all the chips and cigarettes in the counter and ran out the other way. He entered the van and started the ignition. But before driving, he opened his glove compartment to get something.
"Time for a test run my babies." He said before driving recklessly through the alley where his friends are running.
