Mystery is sitting on the second level with a coffee cup on a coffee table. The second floor of the mall is a fall working cafeteria. Upon seeing him she gives a bright red lip, snow white teeth smile. Standing up she holds out her hand. The dark purple frilly blouse and a kitten pattern skirt. Taking her hand they shake.

Taking a seat "So Mr Anderson what is it you want to know?"

"Well what do you do?" question Toby.

With a smile Mystery tells that with big business that deals between parties can take weeks and a show of hospitality and a fight is must to make a deal. This were she came in. As a handler she can get the cage fighter to the biggest venue. In return the sponsored fighter is expected to come to do running for the business and be a fighter in the private party.

Hearing the pay check of a normal day without a fight with a twenty seven thousand, with each fight in the cage... well he can remember what West first said.

Mystery pulls a suitcase with golden latches, out comes one pieces of paper. The font at an eight a magnifying glass that is required. She points to four lines.

"This is where you sign." Mystery said.

Looking at the titles that are just bigger, "What is written on the paper?"

Mystery gives a smile "It is what your job entitles, then what your payment for your work, follow that you will receive training by us and in return what is expected. How about I get you a milkshake; while you read over it."

"That be great thanks, can I have a highlighter."

With a smile "yes I get one for you."

Getting up Mystery picking up her bag "What flavour do you like?"

Picking the paper up "chocolate please."

Reading over the paper Toby found that he would work as a security person and that his job is to make sure only that property does not leave the building, with the occasional assisting with transporting sensitive packaging.

It is what the business excluded, such as medical bills and possible injury or death from a third party. Then there is the code of conduct and policy and procedure that be expected to read and sign that they have receive it by representative of the business. It those short seconds Toby sign T. Anderson each four lines. From the suitcase Mystery pull out a book.

"Here is everything about your role, policy and procedure, employee rights and of course ethics and values." Her voice friendly "I see you at eight am at Titan Gym on the fourth floor of the Heron Street."

Most of one hour Toby bet making a profit of five hundred, putting a large smile on his face. The blood feels alive trying to makes it way out of gaps of his exoskeleton. A terrible itch settles at the nap of his neck. The walk to the tenth bus stop is when all the tingles went away.

At home Toby went to his profile online and updated that he has been employed. Filling times, salary and what business he works for. A big green tick fills the screen, accepting the change. The speaker from the computer chimes, "Toby Anderson you have notified that you now have a job. Congratulations, however for the amount of responsibility community obligation is now an elective."

Toby gives a large skeleton grin. Yellow spread onto the red and black. Stretching Toby can feel the joints pull away from each other seeing white lines around the elbow. Bring up an old movie of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Toby start to get dinner ready. On the table kitchen is a folder that Casey had in her hands when Becky and her have left hours ago. It is after that most of the night routine is done that Toby pick up the folder to put it out of sight. As he opens the folder he starts to read coming over a name Dr Tirror on a document giving information of what the parasite growth and behaviour.
