"You want us to do what?" Edd exclaimed. The morning had arisen, and the friends were sat among the other sinners in the lounge.
"Think about it, Edd. We've killed people before, only this time we'll be doing it for money." Tom explained.
"I can't. It goes against my moral compass." Edd reasoned.
"Your moral compass is a fucking roulette wheel." Tord mentioned.
"I'd only kill if it was in self defence." Edd argued. In response, Tom stared at Edd with an annoyed look on his face. Well, that's a fucking lie, he couldn't help thinking.

"Edd, we really need the money. We've basically been staying here on credit, and we've got to pay it some day." Matt added.
"Charlie would freak out if she found out." Edd countered. "Vaggie too, most likely."
"So we don't tell them, easy." Tom retorted. "And if they get suspicious,  we'll just say that Tord won it in those bomb-throwing tournaments."

"Tom, you can't just trust everyone you meet at a bar!" Edd shouted in annoyance, desperately trying to plead his side.
"He makes a good point." Matt mumbled.
"Edd, there may be some bad things with this, but look at the pros." Tord explained. "We'll be able to get more money, we'll meet new people, gain some new skills, and, besides, it's Hell, nobody cares if somebody dies."
"See? He gets it." Tom smirked.
"Fine. We'll go there next thing tomorrow morning." Edd sighed.

True to their word, the group went to the I.M.P. headquarters the next day and they were hired after a very quick interview. After the brisk interview, Blitzo brought them out into the main waiting area to introduce the gang to the other employees.
"Alright, everyone, these our our new employees." Blitzo introduced. "New people this is Millie and Moxxie, also known as Team M and M."
"Well, howdy!" Millie greeted.
"Pleased to meet you, I'm sure." Moxxie welcomed.

"And this is Loona, our secretary and also my daughter!" Blitzo continued.
"Stop saying that when you introduce me to anyone." Loona scowled, staring at her phone.
"Alright, so you can use today to get used to your surroundings and meet the others, and your work starts tomorrow." Blitzo explained.
"Wait, so do we not have any training or anything?" Matt questioned.
"No, because there's no point, considering you guys already know how to kill, and we also don't have the budget." Blitzo replied.
"Fair enough." Tom shrugged.
