Whoever shot Ben and threw his body into the canal, we’ll never know.
He fell with a splash.
Ben floated downstream, and when he reached the High Bank Locks, the lockmaster took out Ben’s wallet, charged Ben the toll, and allowed Ben to float further downstream.
The lockmasters at Charm Fields, Fenton, and Greenmoor did the same.
Ben had just enough to get him to the river, and tourists took photos of him as he passed through Port Burke.
Eventually, the cops got involved.
Fishing him out of the water and arresting him for running the canal without a permit.
