"Hold on a sec I'll be right there."

Josh ran over to the door and opened it and to his surprise he was staring at two men dressed formal with sun glasses and a black suit on.

"How cliché."

"Hello, we would like to speak to you about a government project that you eligible for. Can we come in?"

The two government agents were very professional, and spoke calm and in control.

"Yeah of course. Is everything alright?"

Josh sat on one couch and gestured for the two agents to take a seat.

"We work for a secret government operation called Federal Sociality and Mentality Association or FSMA for short."

The second agent had a deeper and more intimidating voice than the first.

"I'm sorry but I cant recall either of your names?"

"My name is Jonson and my partner here is David."

Jonson said a little frustrated by being cut off.

"We would like to recruit you to work for the government and be a participant of a government experiment."

"Which you and your family will be very well supported and will be provided with many benefits and will be paid exceptionally."

"What are specifics of what my family will receive?"

"It's all on this piece of paper. All you need to do is sign it and we're good and you will receive a call within 48 hours."

"Okay thanks our family hasn't been in the best of shape lately. I just lost my job and my wife is a school preschool teacher and only makes $40,000 a year."

"We know that's why we came to you, we also know that you are a strong believer in the USA and tried to join the marines twice, the army 1, the air force 2 and the navy 1 and every time denied but here is your chance to serve your time for the country."

Josh lit up with excitement with the mention of being able to serve time for his country. He immediately signed the papers and handed them back to the agents.

"Thanks for your time. You should receive a call sometime within 48 hours."

"No thank you. Have a nice day."
