Chapter 1 - The Way it Started

Time: 6:00 A.M. ; January 6, 2012

Location: San Miniato, Italy

-----------------------------------------------------------

In the second floor of a house situated in the nothern side of San Miniato, there slept a man. His room was a mess. Paperworks of what seemed to be applications for jobs, clothes and cash, stacks and stacks of cash.

The soft beam of sunlight from the window made the man, sleeping under a blanket, slowly stir awake. Once fully awake he headed straight to the bathroom to wash his face. His face was a mix of stress and tiredness.

Knock.

As soon as he heard the knock he got startled. Quickly wiping his face he rushed to hide the money scattered across his room. Before he could hide all the cash, the door swung open. On the other side was an old, british woman in her 60's. As soon as she saw the stacks of cash he was collecting she shouted; " LUCA!! WHAT THE HELL IS WITH ALL THAT MONEY. YOU SAY YOU CAN'T PAY RENT AND HERE, YOU HAVE MONEY ENOUGH TO BUY MULTIPLE HOUSES!!"

Luca immediately rushed to put a hand over her mouth to restrict her from shouting further. He spoke, " In cosa mi sono cacciato? Shut up grandma, I- I'll explain."

Luca securely locked the door of the room and sighed softly. He dropped onto the bed and began speaking, " This money...it's not mine. It belongs to a drug dealer. Who, I don't know."

The old lady, still not believing his words spoke, " What do you mean? Some random drug dealer handed you this much cash and left. Pfft, don't be silly and give me my rent."

Luca held his head and shouted, " I am not joking grandma. My entire life has turned upside down from that day. T- That day- "

3 Days Before: 8:00 P.M. ; January 3, 2012

-----------------------------------------------------------

Luca walked down the street towards his house. He wore a simple jacket and trouser combo. Today, just like everyday, he failed the interview. He was jobless for nearly a decade and things couldn't go more wrong. Or so he thought.

Bang, a sound of a gunshot made him gasp, his mouth went dry. He felt like he was shot but upon inspecting his body, he found out he wasn't. He took a sigh of relief and just as he turned back, a man stuffed a briefcase in his arms and ran away. The man was so fast, Luca couldn't see him properly. Police sirens echoed through the street and a fierce chase began. Luca was on the sidewalk, watching the chaos unfold but he didn't care. He walked home like nothing happened and went into his room ignoring the old woman; his landlady.

In his room, he slowly opened the briefcase and was shocked by the sheer amount of money. His eyes were wide, his breath caught in his throat making him gasp. But what made him really scared was the packs of white powder under the cash. He took one pack and smelled it, drugs. He had only seen such things in movies and now it was happening in real life. He was scared, really really scared.

The old woman looked at Luca in a worried way. " What did you do to the drugs? Did you hide them? "

Luca looked at her as if something was wrong then replied in a soft voice, " Yeah, I hid them under the tree of the park. Why? "

The old woman looked at him, " Oh dear, you should have told the police. We are gonna be in big trouble."

Luca looked at her, " Yeah, it's obvious grandma. But you aren't in trouble...I am." Suddenly, a gunshot ripped through the air. The old woman eyes shut instinctively and when she opened them, she saw Luca laying on the bed, blood everywhere and a bullet hole on Luca's head. Luca was dead. Soon came the police officials and began inspection.
