I was with my cousin Óscar outside the Baden Baden ballroom. We went inside and saw two attractive girls in mini-skirt. Óscar was lascivious. An older man with the appearance of Jaime approached us, and in a very tasteful way explained us that these were escorts who could get laid with us for $1,500 MXN.

Óscar asked me to lend him $800. I had little hope of seeing my money back, but I acceded. He went inside with the lady and after a while came out with a very satisfied look on his face. I went inside to pay the gentleman, and through some mechanism which I could not understand, he gave me $700, with which my loan to Óscar was covered. I thought it was great, because I expected zero.

We jumped into the car and were heading to my house, I knew he would make an illegal turn, and he asked me where to turn. I looked around and realized I didn’t recognize the street. Some things were as I remembered them, but others were changed, for the worse.
