Jason and you wanted out of the life you’d been living. A high-risk life, one where any wrong move could land you in a cell, rotting behind bars, or dead. You were ride or die for each other, but even that kind of loyalty didn’t make the danger worth it anymore. No more drug runs, no more boosted cars or stolen goods. You both craved something calmer. Something real. But a fresh start didn’t come cheap.
It meant one last job. One final heist, a high-stakes adventure before calling it quits for good. You set your sights on an old bank down in Leonida Keys. Its vaults were still full, and the building was scheduled for renovations. The nearby construction site made the area chaotic, messy—perfect cover for a hit like this. In other words, it was the ideal finale.
"I'll wait here on this corner in the car. You go out the back, and we'll drive off into the sunset," Jason said with that charming smile, tapping a corner of the map laid out on your scratched-up kitchen table, the sunlight streaming into their small apartment.
