Cooperation
I slowly said "Yes, you know I have a juicy deal for you. How is the sound of a complete city encompassing network sound for you?"
He calmly said "Too good to be true, even the widest intel networks of the city have some blind spots where people can't get into"
I then said "Okay, then tell me where your people can't get into and I would provide you agents over that location. If you like my intel network then we can expand it. Take a free agent on the most difficult place to reach as a test."
He then stayed quiet for a few minutes, "Okay, I know you have no connections to other people or being fool enough to be a mole to make this a trap, besides Doug rarely speaks well about other people so I will put a little trust in you. A place I can't reach for years is the mayor office. Only her old secretary, the mayor, and his right-hand man can go inside. All the meeting are in other rooms. And he locks his room with the most advanced security. We could always breach inside but what if there is an even stronger safe inside? Too much time and too many things could go bad. Not enough rewards to make it a priority but It always bugged me about not knowing what they talk inside."
I then quickly said "Okay, wait for my information. One of my agents will call the designated number that you like and tell about important news happening in the mayor office"
He laughs and said "Haha okay, and in exchange of this favor what would you like?"
I just said what I had on my mind "I know you have strong people protecting you, I would like one similar to be my bodyguard. If you know someone available for the job send him to me, I will offer him a good salary and plenty of freedom."
He suspiciously said "Just that? A capable bodyguard for mayor intel? What is your angle here?"
I shrugged my shoulders even on the phone and said "Just a taste of my intel network for the best bodyguard you could get. I will ensure that the intel you get is 100% reliable. I know not to cross you, I hope you let me do my intel job without unnecessarily interference"
He said "Of course, each one has their own secrets. After you get the intel send it to this number XXX-XXX-XXX. Then I will tell Doug to send you the contact info about your dream employee"
He hanged up, It seems that even him is paranoid, the call ended before reaching 2 minutes. The minimum time to get tracked in real-life (Movies reference are my teacher, so don't quote me).
I couldn't just walk in and make a blank contract with the old receptionist. I need to know her routine first and then when she was alone I could make a contract. The issue is to know what to offer to her, old people don't tend to favor money. They don't have enough time to spend it all. I need to do a couple of attempts to know her better. And make her forget afterward so I can surprise her telling about the information herself told me before.
So first I need to make a contract with a young maid of the house to keep an eye to the old secretary and make her inform me after a week of all her routes.
With that plan in my mind. I went near the mayor building, I didn't go in. I went to tall building early in the morning and took out of my
I stayed on the rooftop of a building that was under construction, I only needed to give the guy looking for the building $1k and he let me through when he saw I didn't carry anything. He repeatedly told me to not kill myself because it could be a bother to explain to the authorities.
Anyway, I was there watching people entering the building and looking through the windows. I finally spotted a cute girl, she seemly very innocent. Maybe she came here from another state? She didn't seem to be a city girl at first glance. A perfect target.
I went back down and thanked the guy for letting me look around the building a little while. I then waited for a block away from the mayor office drinking a coffee taking a few glances to the building. Finally, the cute girl was out, she was out wearing normal clothes. I discreetly followed her. AGI is a good stat for following people, not only you have more control of your body you can also stop and quicken your steps faster.
I followed her going to a building near the mayor office. I doubt they have vigilance on her, being so young and probably recently employed. So I followed her until the entrance of the building and took out my binoculars to see which floor she stopped.
It was on the 4th floor. So I climb the fire escape ladders and went to the 4th floor. Most people close their curtains but not lock the windows. Interesting enough. I peeked through 3 windows until I finally made it to the correct one.
She was cooking while listening to country music. Loud enough not to notice me on the window. I waited two more hours freezing on the ladder until she finally fell asleep and I could peek from the windows and finally activated
She went to my world, where I was the impostor god, almost like a god in this world.
She finally reached the bar and asked me "Why I'm here? What is this place? I want to go back home!" She started to cry.
I calmly looked at her and said "First thing first child, you are uncomfortable with those clothes. Let me put some pretty ones on you" I waved my hand and the ideal dress for her was imminently on her body. I learned that I could modify anything on this world but I couldn't harm or influence mentally in anyway the client. I couldn't get people drunk or give them drugs. But if they were in that state I could decide to make the effects disappear or leave it them as they were, that's why the best place to make deals are on the nightclubs.
She began to scream and run frightened of me, Jesus that didn't work out as intended. I smiled and told her "I'm a god of deals, I arrived at your dream because there is something that you desperately want and there isn't much time to wait. Here, take this fresh warm milk glass and test it. I guarantee that it would be the best of your life"
She cautiously approached the glass I left on the corner of the bar near her while I was on the other extreme of the bar. She took it and quickly backed away. She sniffed and slowly began to test it. Then she opened her eyes wide and began to chuck it and shouted:
"You were right! This is the best milk I had in my life, is exactly the same as the milk my nana will give me when I was sick!"
I calmly kept cleaning a glass and told her "Now tell me, what are your worries, what do you really need right now?"
She scratched her head and then quickly said "YES! My farm is in grave danger, if I don't gather 1 Million dollars before the 1-year extended mortgage they will take everything away from my family! All my brothers and sisters went to gather money, but I don't think we will gather enough money. That's why I went to the mayor office to look for work, to plead my case to him. He said that he didn't have jurisdiction over that place. But that maybe he could talk about that with some people to know better the situation but didn't promise anything. All while looking at my body"
She started crying again and said "I was preparing myself to give him my virginity for a promise of him making a try, nothing else. I was that desperate for my farm. It is my family farm is my life! Please help me!"
I silently looked at her and used
[Total life expectancy: 91 years | Age: 22 years old | Name: Alice | ??]
I calmly said "Oh Alice, I could help you. With your 22 years of life, you already had so many hardships"
She was surprised and went to her knees and said "Please god! Help me save my farm I would do anything you ask for you!"
I coldly looked at her, while my heart was warming up but I couldn't her know that I'm supposed to be a god detached for mortal feelings. I calmed myself and said "I could help you, I could give you 1 Million dollars, but the deals I offer are for lifespans. I can give you that money for 20 years of your life (I learned that the maximum amount of lifespans I could get on these contracts is 40 years, it seems to be designed to be flexible enough but for small amounts).
She thinking a little bit and said: "Okay I will do it, let me sign it!"
I smiled and passed the contract, she read it a little before signing it up.
I clapped my hands and said "Perfect! I will transfer your money after you write the account number on these napkins. Afterward, you need to do a little job for me, on the small letter of the contract, there are 2 clauses. One is that you are unable to tell/record anything about me, and when the contract ends you would only remember a random lucky event. And the second one is that you would have the obligation to remember the route and events that happen on the mayor house and report it weekly to this number XXX-XXX-XXX, you have to use a public phone. If you don't do it, you would feel a fear slowly increasing until you do it. Anyway, congratulations on saving your farm!"
