Ben was living a normal life in Alberquerque, and he would work 2 jobs, 1 in a music shop and the other job was as a pizza boy.
After a long and exhausted Friday he gets back home when all of a sudden a mysterious british blonde lady with a black suit tells him to not look back, he's shocked because no one lives at his house and he looks back, 2 seconds later he's knocked out after she hit him with a pistol that left him unconscious.
Ben and the mysterious lady are in New York now and Ben doesn't know it, he can barely breathe with the back on his head and with his hands and feet tied.
Maria (the mysterious blonde woman) hears heavy breathing, she thought " sounds like someone's awake" she tells him: "Don't move it's just going to make things worse, trust me"
Ben: "Why are you doing this?"
Maria: "I have no idea i just follow orders."
Ben: " I'll give you all i have please just stop whatever you're doing, i can't breathe"
Just as Ben says that, the car stops. Maria gets Ben out of the car and as she takes the bag of the sun hits his eyes and he has no idea where he is.
Maria takes a pistol out and aims at Ben.
Ben: "No please i don't want to die in the shore!"
Maria: "Don't worry, even if i would shoot you in the head right now you would fall backwards and disappear into the sea, just don't smile at the camera, that's not what the boss is going for."
Maria takes a photo of her aiming the pistol at Ben's bleeding face, and Ben looks terrified.
Ben and Maria look at each other for a while, and Maria feels sorry for Ben as she see's him in tears looking at her in the eyes, while Ben secretly falls in love with her, but doesn't really care that much since he's about to die.
Maria: "Get in the car"
Ben: "Where're we goin'?
(Inside the car)
Maria: " I'm supposed to kill you, but i'm not, you're in New York now and unless you want to die tired you can try to get back to you're home as fast as you can but you won't make it, and even if you do you'll have some visitors and they won't be easy on you"
Ben: "Well what am i supposed to do then where the hell am i supposed to go, I'm broke if i can't go back although it wouldn't be a lot of difference."
Maria: "You can stay at my house for a while until you get enough money to get out of town and not back to your old place"
Ben: "Ok....alright."
