Then, the man turned away and walked off, ignoring him. 3
Limping, Joey tried to catch up and cursed behind him, "Hey, b*stard, give me back my money! Hey! I'll f* eking kill you!" 1
"Crazy!”
The man cursed, climbed onto his tow truck, and left.
Joey glared furiously at the tow truck as it had gone far. He certainly couldn't catch up with his truck and his anger was slowly replaced by deep despair again. 1
His current main and urgent concern was how to handle the five hundred thousand dollar debt. 6
He felt like his world was crumbling down on him.
At this moment, he thought of Janice, his girlfriend. 6
Joey was an orphan with no parents and relatives to rely on. When he and Janice became a couple, he had automatically assumed her as his only relative. 1
Now that he encountered such a major setback and in desperation, his only hope was to see his beloved woman and anticipate the comfort and warmth she would offer him. 7
Hence, he wiped his messy face with his shirt, limped to the community entrance, and stopped a taxi.
At first, the taxi driver was reluctant as he looked at Joey's disheveled looks, but Joey grabbed his rearview mirror and shouted, "If you refuse my service, I'll complain until you die!"
