Jake couldn't believe it. Jake thought nothing could hurt more than loosing his legs. Then Miriam left. And now Tommy.
His brother.
His twin.
His other half.
The only one he's ever had to stand beside him. Gone.
All for some fuckin cash! Jake thought bitterly. Marie was fast asleep in the other room. It was 12pm, but this was the first time in the last two weeks she's had a peaceful sleep. The nonstop crying for her mami, and then for her uncle. Jake was lost.
We have nothing left. Jake threw back a shot of tequila from a bottle Miriam had left. I can't give her a good life in this godforsaken Earth.
But could he do it? Would it be fare with Marie? She'd be living in space, her growth would be stopped for 5 years.

"The pay is great. You'll have more than enough for you and your daughter, and it'll be doubled since we will also be employing your daughter. Our tests have all come back with positive results, she won't be harmed. Your brother was even the one working on the tests for a child avatar that Marie could use."
"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, Mr.Sully. You have a week to give us an answer."

Half a bottle of tequila is all it took for Jake to make his decision.
"Hello, Mr. Sully. I take it you've decided?"
"Yeah, we'll be there tomorrow."
