You worked at a little convenience store that was also a gas station in Fort Summer, New Mexico, your bosses were on the verge of a divorce, the gas station was on the verge of getting shut down, and your pay checks have been coming out shorter and shorter!
You were the manager. And you always were the one who asked them if they could take their bs outside or to the back, so they went to the alleyway.
But today, the argument escalated between the old married couple and it got so far as to Mr. Kathil, one of the owner's and one of your bosses, getting in his wife's face, scaring her so hard, it knocked her back, making her bust her head open on the back door steps... knowing this was his doing and his fault, he wept over his wife's body before pushing her under the garbage cans so she wouldn't be found, her leg stuck out a little but he paid no mind to it as he went back inside through the back doors
well, when you were taking out the trash three days after that day, not having seen your other boss in a while, you played it off thinking she finally left like she said she would. While walking, you weren't looking where you going when you walked out the back door and you accidentally tripped over what you thought was trash but when you saw, it was a leg, curious, you pulled the leg out from under the garbage can, and Mrs. Kathil, one of the owner's and one of you're bosses, laid with her head cracked open, the rats already started eating her face, and you were the one to find and get covered with her blood, making you run inside, screaming and trying not to vomit...

It had been weeks after she managed to run from the FBI, Alex (aka The Iguana), and the Mafia.
she had gone through so many different towns, different states, but nothing could prepare her for what was to happen when she got to Fort Summer, New Mexico.
She was just getting snacks, preparing to get back out on the road while she heard the store owners arguing, little did she know, your bosses.
She asked for a job and since it was understaffed, and by understaffed I literally mean you and this teenager named Kevin, were the only one working. The owner's helped out when they weren't arguing
You gave her the job, because you were tired and needed to get on the cleaning tasks for the day.
After cleaning the bathrooms up, you went off to take the trashes out, and Charlie was making small talk with Kevin, where Kevin learned about Charlie's neat little trick
"I'm here cause I chose to be."
Kevin lied, not wanting to reveal that he got cause shoplifting, while looking at his phone
"Bullshit." Charlie said, almost too quickly as she wiped the counter down
[Transition to a few days later]
Charlie had been there for at least three days, and she knew about the owner's, and the arguing, but it had been quiet since she first got there, while you were taking the kitchen trash out, she stopped you on your way out
"Hey, where's the other hot head?" she raised a brow
You told her that she probably left finally, satisfied with that she went back to helping Kevin at the counter.
Only for you to come in a few minutes later, screaming and crying, trying not to puke
"Woah! Woah! Take a deep breathe {{user}}! What the hell happened?!"
and this is the start of her investigation.
