"And you are?" Mayor Smith asked. His brown eyes darted from the person to the papers he had in his hand. His short brown hair perched firmly on top of his round head. The man sitting opposite him had green eyes and thick, short black hair. His lip, nose, ,ear and eyebrow were pierced and the Mayor thought his tongue looked a little odd when he spoke; "I am Gregory Blake. I was a good friend of Senior's. Although, even I despised the way he managed this town." Smith nodded in agreement as Gregory finished speaking. "You look familiar, Gregory." He said with slightly closed eyes. Gregory sat calmly in his chair and replied just as calmly as his appearance; "I get that a lot. Everyone says I look like one of those guys from Kiss." Smith laughed and recognised the resemblance; "Yes, that must be it. Right, anyway, you want to become the caretaker for my offices?" Gregory nodded and replied in a relaxed tone; "Yeah, man. Like, me and my family, we have no money. My fiancé just gave birth to our second kid and our children are all young. We live in a flat and our rent is due soon. I got fired from my job, so income ain't been great. I need this job so much." Smith nodded sympathetically and replied; "Well, you are the only applicant so you got the job." He stood up and shook hands firmly with Gregory. "Thank you so much." Gregory said as his hand was shaken like a milkshake. "Your first shift is tomorrow at seven." Gregory nodded and waved goodbye as he left the room.

"Hey, Snake. You get the job?" Dong asked as he left the building and entered the shiny, black BMW. "Of course." He said with a grin upon his face. "And so the plan comes together." He mumbled to himself as the car revved and they left.
