AFTER RAY'S KIDNAPPING
Steve, Ray's elder brother, was in his new apartment
" Dam suckers, can't even go out normally due to them "
" Can't they wait for some time to get their money afterall I am returning their money in installments "
" Shouldn't have taken the money from those loan sharks "
" On the other hand there is my useless younger brother, can't even give some money "
" I can't even sell some stuff from home like before due to him dam it! "
Steve who had nothing to do in his apartment mumbled to himself while cursing the loan sharks who are searching for him after he failed to return their money in their given limit and his younger brother Ray who stopped sending him money
" I don't even have a penny left after losing all the money in the gamble "
Steve said after he checked his account balance
Steve was a gambler but without any skills for it
He had gained some money initially with some luck which made him addicted to it and couldn't stop himself from getting tangled the sticky web of gambling
After some time he slowly started losing all of his money but this didn't stop him from gambling more instead it made him more desperate to win
Afterall this was the only source of money for him after his parents refused to pay his expenses when he completed his studies
But he wasn't hardworking like his brother which resulted in his low grades and option for jobs with lower pay like his father
But he didn't want that instead wanted something big that brought money a lot enough to pay his expenses as well as his comfort
So he turned to only available option to people like him who want to do less but gain mang times more
But soon enough he got to know that even the gambling was not easy as after his some of his initial wins , he couldn't gain anything instead lost even the money given to him by his parents and inherited resources
This made him helpless as well as hopeless because of not having money to pay and left him with only option of finding a job with less income
Although he hadn't wanted to do that but he didn't have the money to pay for his necessities
But just as he was drowning in the hopelessness he saw a new ray of hope when an another gambler acquaintance of him told him about someone who could lend him money for purposes like this where no person with reputation lend them
But there was a problem with it also as the person who was ready to give him loan was a famous gangster and ruthless loan shark also but this didn't deter him as
" What's there to worry afterall I can return their money easily after winning with luck and skills "
This was the thought that was in his mind which helped him to gain courage for making irrational decision that haunting him even now as no one give someone loan without any security
And the deal he had put him in the situation where he was today as he had to hide away like rat because he couldn't still remember the chilling words of the gangster
" If you failed to return my money in time limit given to you then you will not like my way of taking back what's mine "
Although Steve was frightened from the way, the gangster was speaking with him but he was confident in his gambling skills and ignored the words of threat and went to gambling
But the fear that was lurking in his mind after previously losing his money proved to be true no matter how much he tried to deny them as just like previous time he lost
And those words started haunting him in his sleeps as nightmares .....
