A loud thud was heard in a dark alley in downtown Coterie City when his back slammed on the pull-up gate of a closed store. He gave out a grunt when one member of the loan shark gang kicked his abdomen with great force, causing him to spit out a little amount of blood from the impact. He coughed, wiping the blood on his mouth. 


"Where's my goddamn money?" The leader of the loan shark gang asked him, while two of his members were pinning him on the now almost torn-out gate. 


"I don't have it." He answered, trying to break free from the men's hold. Not even minutes later, when a strong punch landed on his temples. His face was now a painful mess, with bruises and blood stains prominent on his pale skin.
