Meeting a loan shark
I decided to confront one of the loan sharks, arranging a meeting under the pretense of wanting to help Eliza. “I’m her brother. Let’s talk,” I said over the phone, trying to sound confident despite the anxiety rising in my chest. He agreed, setting a time and place. My heart raced, but I knew this was the next step. If I was going to help Eliza, I had to understand just how deep the trouble ran.

The loan shark demanded an astronomical amount of money, his tone cold and dismissive. “She owes us big time,” he sneered, leaning back in his chair. “And if she doesn’t pay soon, things will get… unpleasant.” His words sent a chill down my spine. The sum he mentioned was far beyond anything I could possibly manage. My mind raced, scrambling for a way out, a solution, anything that could save Eliza from the grip of these dangerous people.
