Jaime knew the value of this drive. In the right hands, it was nostalgia gold. In the wrong hands… it was his pension.
One rainy Tuesday, a young man named Mateo approached the stall. He wasn’t a usual customer. He wore a sleek suit, had perfect teeth, and smelled of corporate air conditioning.
Desperate, Jaime did the only thing a true van Damme-ero would do. He ran.
