As they fled, guilt gnawed at their hearts. However, their escape was short-lived; the police swiftly apprehended them.

During the trial, the judge, taking note of their remorse, gave them a chance at redemption. Instead of jail time, they were sentenced to community service and mandatory financial literacy classes.

During the community service, Alex and Ben met people who had suffered due to robberies or financial hardship. This exposure changed their perspective. The financial literacy classes taught them better ways to manage money and solve their problems. Slowly, they rebuilt their lives and earned the respect of their peers.
