The Crime of the Innocent

Chapter 2: Getting Caught

2 weeks later, Ben complains to Maria that he can't get a job, and all he does is clean her house and cooks food until she's back from "killing, kidnapping, and other crimes like who knows what"
Maria tells him to calm down, and that she has nothing to do so they can look for a job together.

As they look for a job for Ben, an unfortunate coincidence happens as Maria recognizes a car, but she's not sure if it's actually who she thinks it is, she stairs a the car while she tells Ben to go right and as they go right Maria's boss comes out of a fancy restaurant.

Everyone's shocked except Ben.

Ben: "Can i help you?" Says Ben to Maria's boss (aka Billy)

Billy: "You sure can, i saw a picture of you with a gun pointed at you're face and i was wondering how a human being can survive a bullet to the head"

(He looks at Maria as he asks Ben)

Ben: "Oh.... Shit"

Billy: "You know I've never met you in person, and I'm guessing i wasn't supposed to."

Ben: "Is this.... your turf or something like that?"

Billy and his to guards laughed. Ben started to smile, and Billy said: "What the fuck are you laughing about?, you're both coming with me, NOW!!"

Billy wanted to show Maria how things are done, so they went to the shore and found some stairs, they went up stairs for a quieter place to get things done, Ben had cuffs and he couldn't do anything.

Ben: "Fuuuuck"

Ben cries as Billy aims at his head.

Out of nowhere they can hear SUV's pulling over and drifting as they surround them.

Billy: "Wha-? What the fuck was that!?"

Guard: "It's the Morcello's."

(A mafia gang Billy has been having trouble with)

Billy: " Fuck how? Never mind!"

As he was about to aim at Ben's head and pull the trigger immediately, Maria told her boss to not worry about him, he's not a threat and they should get Billy to safety, and they can use Ben for more blackmail.

Ben was scared and confused, Billy agreed quietly, and he told his guards and Maria to defend him, while Ben stays upstairs to defend them in case they come around the back, Billy told Ben to not fuck up, they left and took cover behind they're car.

Ben was worried and got the extinguisher on the wall and started to break the window so he could jump directly to the sea and not risk his self on the stairs.

Ben started to kick his legs as hard as he could, and he was swimming backwards since he couldn't swim well cause of the cuffs he still had on.

Ben is exhausted and makes it on some stairs, far away from the danger zone.

As Maria reloads her pistol she see's Ben from far away, she thinks about telling the boss where he is but she doesn't.

Maria: "Boss there's not many left, should i meet you with Ben back at your place?"

Billy agrees and leaves with the remaining guard.

Maria goes upstairs and jumps into the water so Billy doesn't see her. She runs towards Ben and Ben is barely jogging.

Maria: "Are you stupid? That risk would of killed you anyway if he found out that you left!"

Ben: "I can't..."

The next day...
