Darkworld pt 5

17 years ago.

Xien had just applied for another job and heard the same thing she had head for the last two weeks "Do you have any experience?"  Her new life away from home was not turning out to be what she thought it would be.  She was just mentally going over how much money she had left (202 dollars) and wondering if she should just pack it in and go home back to her overbearing parents.

"You got a minute Miss...?"  the bald headed gentleman said "My name is Frank and my friend here is Jacob and we would like to..."

"I'm not that type of girl."  Xien said quickly.

"Well" he laughed "Yes, you are.  You just don't know it yet."

"Excuse me?"  she balked

"Looking for a job?"  Jacob said smiling.

"Not that type of job, like I said, I'm not that type of girl."

"Benefits, 800 a week, and we can even give you an advance."  Jacob continued like he didn't hear her last reply.

"Doing what?"

"We have a special interest group and we need someone to help us...run it."

Xien looked around and then directly at the two.  "How much of an advance?"

Frank held out a wad of bills and counted out 600 dollars and placed it in her hand, along with a card.

"Our office address is here" he said smiling "Tomorrow morning, nine...ok with you?"

Xien smiled.

"Good"  Frank shook her hand "We will see you tomorrow."

Xien thanked the pair and began her way back to the one room apartment she had been renting when she was out of earshot Frank looked to Jacob "She's the one."

"I felt it too"  Jacob smiled.

"Call the others, it may take a little convincing but considering what's at stake, we have all the time in the world."

"Both" Jacob said smiling.
