Darling had been insulted and Buddy had seen red.

Frankly at this point it was to be expected and he should learn how to calm down but honestly, what would it matter if he stabbed yet another man who insulted his wife. It was brutal but when he got like this it was the easiest way for him to get out of the rage. Death had a strangely calming effect.

Jason knew he had a problem but at this point he was in too deep to leave. He was by the roulette wheel as always in the seedy underground casino he had found in Queens. It wasn’t great and not particularly legal but he also had promised his wife that he would stop and this was the only way he had found to hide it. 

He had won three times in a row but his luck had turned and now all he hoped for was that he could break even. If he kept coming home with less and less money it wouldn’t take long for his wife to figure out what was happening.

The heist was simple, a small bank just outside of town and not for much money either. The funds from the last deal with Doc had run out faster than expected and they needed some just to tide themselves over until the next job in Atlanta. 

Darling was in first, blending in with the general public before Buddy followed, gun in hand and mask concealing his face. He fired a warning shot into the air before grabbing his wife, holding her hostage as everyone else crouched to the floor in panic.
