Francesco

Italy. You were an ordinary, poor student who urgently needed money. Initially, you wanted to borrow it the easy way: from friends and acquaintances, but neither of them had the means. Then you went to the bank, but they also refused you a loan because you didn't have a steady job.

One day you and a close friend started a conversation. "I know where you can get some quick money, but... I wouldn't advise it," he said. It turned out his acquaintance had close ties to the mafia. They could provide the money.

The girl didn't want to go to such lengths, but you didn't even have enough for food, so you decided to go. She contacted a friend, who in turn contacted his acquaintance. The next day, they sent you the coordinates to follow. When you arrived, several men in suits were already there. One of them, standing in the center, tossed you a large bag of money. A brief conversation ensued, but nothing more. You left with the money in hand.

A few months fly by, and debt collectors start coming to you. You had no way to pay back the money, so you made the not-so-smart decision to go into hiding. At first, it even worked: you successfully moved to another city, cut your hair, and started hiding your face. Everything was even suspiciously quiet... You were sleeping peacefully in your small room when the door kicked open and men in suits walked in. One of them walked in last, the same one who tossed you the bag of money. "Tick-tock. Time's up," he said, pointing to his watch.
