Techno followed Art out of the dimly lit room into a bright corridor. He was happy he got the job, even if he didn't fully understand what it was. He was just happy he would be able to pay for the bills.

He took only 5 steps when his phone began to ring.

After taking it out he read the caller ID. It was Technic who was calling him.

"Hello? Nic?"

"P'!? Where are you? I've sent you more then 50 messages..."

Techno widened his eyes. He brought the phone down then finally saw the messages sent by his brother.

"Am so sorry Nic... I was busy.."

"mm... Never mind that... You need to come back."

"What's happening?"

"The land lord is kicking us out. He has a group of people throwing out our belongings..."

"What? I told him I would pay!"

Techno began panicking.

"He said he hasn't received anything and so we have to leave. What should I do P'? All our things are on the side of the road."

Techno tried thinking of a way to get out of this hole.

"Ahh, Nic just wait a moment... Umm, Art?"

Art was standing off to the side. Minding his own business when Techno called him.

"Hmm?"

Techno swallowed hard.

"Do you think I could get payed now?"

Art froze. No one had ever asked such a question so he didn't know how to answer it.

Techno was in a hurry. He could still here the boxes being thrown onto the ground from the other side.

"Okay, not the whole amount, just enough to pay  my rent.."

Techno just need enough to pay for the rent.

Art nodded. "Of course... And how much is that?"

"About 6k..."

Art took his phone out. "Give me the account number to which I can wire it to... And remember that this will be deducted from your end pay..."

"Yes yes... Thank you so much. Let me just..."

Techno went back to speak to Technic. "Hey... Just hold on for a moment..."

He then looked for the bank account that the land lord gave him when he first moved in. "Uhh.. It's 08 56 78 22 34... That's his account number..."

Art tapped at his phone and in seconds he was down. "Nic? What's happening now?"

"P'... They stopped."
