Opportunity One was in the Irish pub near his office, talking to Roberto.
His pint of beer was barely half empty, while his co-workers had been finished for a while.
I don't know how we're going to do it.
Now that Patricia is no longer receiving unemployment benefits, we're going to beat the debts, he said, looking downcast.
You'll see, something will eventually work out.
Roberto tried unsuccessfully to encourage him.
One couldn't stop thinking about all the expenses that were coming up fast, and they didn't know how they were going to cope.
The mortgage, the car, the homeowners association fees, and a long list of other small expenses were waiting to be paid.
With Patricia's salary and his own, they had managed to cover all of them without any problems, but with the arrival of the economic crisis, the situation had gradually and inexorably worsened.
First, his salary was reduced, so they tightened their belts.
Then Patricia became unemployed, and they got by on her unemployment benefits.
But after losing them, the numbers just didn't add up anymore.
It was as simple as this.
Every month they needed more money than they were earning.
I can give you a possible solution, although I don't know if you're going to like it, said Roberto when he saw that his partner wasn't reacting.
Tell me, we're in such a bad way that anything can help, he replied, sounding a little hopeful.
You see, my wife and I know a couple who, a few years ago, were in the same situation as you.
I don't know how they found out, I suppose through word of mouth like I'm telling you now, but to earn more money, they were given the contact information of a man who helped them a lot.
How did it help them? asked one was intrigued.
Roberto took a long swig of beer and cleared his throat before explaining himself.
Well, from what we were told, and to sum it up he's a bastard who likes to watch others having sex.
What did you say? Juan almost shouted, scandalized.
Yes, just like it sounds.
The bastard paid them money to watch them do it.
Doesn't he participate? Does he just watch? Well, it's about watching and ordering.
