Techno picked up the stuff that fall out of his brothers jeans. As he picked them up one by one. He then noticed the card so he decided to examine it in more detail.

The card was dominated by a cell phone number that disappeared when tilted towards the dark and reappeared when hit by the light.

As Techno brought it closer to his face he noticed a few words at the corner.
*easy job - easy money*

What is this Nic? Techno looked down, almost expecting an answer from  the sleeping body. He turned around to leave the room then closed the door behind himself.

He walked a few steps before sitting once again in the dirty sofa in the small living room. He looked at the card for a minute before opening his
phone to look at his messages. He sighed, counting how many of the messages were about his outstanding bills.

He added them up and was shocked by the overall amount. How am I gonna do this?

He signed again, feeling the stress build up. He shock his head. How did you do it?  Remembering his grandfather never complained about anything to do with bills. He sat still, slowly sinking into the old sofa trying to think of a way out of this deep hole.

As he tilted his head from side to side, a simmering light hit his eyes. He looked down to the card he held earlier. He picked it up, thinking of a wild idea...

Let me just try....

Techno picked up his phone and dialled the number. It rang about four times, Techno was losing courage and started to realize what he was doing but the phone was picked up. Not by a human but a machine...

Form low tone to high tone, a beeping sound came from the other line before going from high to low tone again. Techno listened after it went silent but the musical tones were repeated.

He frowned thinking off retreating but he then heard a voice. “Thank you for calling our hotline. We hope that with us your *goal will be achieved. Please note that you called us and we did not call you. For more information about the job, make your way to 5th street on  route 9, look for Estispaluv world renounced restaurant. Make sure to bring the card, as it will give you access. Again thank you for calling and may all the luck be with you...”

(A/N: Please note  that when I say *goal, I mean the normal human desires - money, sex & popularity. In this case Techno's goal is money.)

And the tones were repeated. From low to high then high to low again. After that the voice came back,“Thank you for calling our hotline. We hope that with us your goal will be achieved. Please note that you called us and we did not call you...”

Techno hung up when he realized that the message was being repeated.
5th street? On route 9? That's a bit far...

Techno thought about it, he looked at his watch then decided to leave because the sun was about to show its face and so he didn't want to waste any time.

He left not notifying his brother afraid he might wake him up unnecessary. And so he walked out the apartment and into the remaining shadows of the night.
