The Troubleshooter: Nov 13

Friday

Nov 13

It's been a while. On the plus side, I've had two jobs since my birthday. One was a simple retrieval. This guy thought his employer should've paid him more before he was fired (having met the guy, I'm pretty sure he was fired for incompetence). He wanted me to break into his old office building and steal a couple of computers he could sell. Pretty easy work, but it didn't pay much.

The second job was trickier. The chop shop I used to run cars for was having a problem with a rival cutting into their territory. At first they wanted me to go "break some kneecaps." OK, if you've ever met me, you know why I'm not about to face off against a few six-foot, three-hundred pound men, even with a baseball bat in hand. When Rhino said that, I laughed in his face. Or I told him to go fuck himself. I don't really remember.

But, since it was for an old friend, I still took the job. I just handled it my way. A few ounces of Emset-301, and the building is now nothing but a heap of metal. No one was hurt either, and in the end, Rhino was much happier with the results.

I have enough money to buy Christmas gifts for my family and pay rent. Rhee's been looking forward to some new video game.
