As the cops dragged me from the bank to the cruiser, they thought my silence was me exercising my rights. Instead I was thinking about how Benny got me into this mess.
“The way I figure it, you still owe me,” he had said with a smirk. “Plus, it's a juicy score.

He forgot to mention my separate way was to a prison cell.
