Life in danger
This was no joke either, right after he lost he got a tap on his left shoulder. He turned around and saw two large men waving at him. They told him that he had a few days to come up with the money or else things would get ugly. This wasn’t looking good for Ben at all.
He didn’t know what he was going to do. He had bet most of his money on horses and lost it all. Now he was going to have to go back to his small farm and figure things out. It didn’t seem like there would be an easy way out of this at all.
