Nine Jobs

Nine Jobs

Ugh, i am so sick and tired of this place. Philip looked over to his clock and concluded that he needed to sleep a lot more, but there is no way he can keep sleeping with so much noise right outside his apartment. Sure he might go to bed earlier but he is incapable of concentrating during the day anyway, which is also caused by the noise. The best solution would just to be to move out of this dump and get one of those fancy apartments in one of the many skyscrapers that are around, but those cost a lot of money. But money is something everyone needs and no one has so everyone get's stuck in the lower quarters annoying everyone else there. Sure there are those living in the skyscrapers but they are mostly employed to one of the mega corporations and thus belong a minority of the total population. But things have been going for the better for Philip, he was making a name for himself in the "security specialist" scene and got noticed by a higher-up in one of the mega corporations. They needed some things to be done and so they offered Philip a contract, do 9 jobs for us and we will get you a apartment in one of our skyscrapers - including furniture. Philip, amazed at the opportunity, jumped on this and signed to contracts right away, unfortunately he forgot to read the fine print which stated that the jobs could be of any nature and cannot be refused. The first 6 jobs were standards jobs, deleted some sensitive data from corporation X, steal some data from corporation Y, the general stuff that he expected to be doing. Now Philip managed to complete the 6th job only 5 hours ago after a long night of working on it, so after he got woken up by the many people walking and working outside he decided to get up. From experience he knew that it would only get busier and noisier outside as the day progressed anyway so trying to get more sleep would not work out so close to the streets anyway. Sleepy Philip dragged himself to his computer and booted up his messaging client. As soon as he came online a window popped up, it was from the mega corporation congratulating him on his recent success and stating how satisfied they were with the work he was delivering. After that they announced that the 7th job would be a bit different but that they had no doubt that Philip was able to do it. Philip was curious about it so he downloaded the file describing what he needed to, but after reading it he was clearly having doubts about doing the job and expressed this to the mega corporation. This is where Philip wished he had read the small print as they took out the contract and showed that he had to either do the last 3 jobs or walk away and lose all the time he had put into the first 6 jobs. Of course Philip still didn't like the new job, but loosing the time and work he put into the first 6 and not getting a apartment weighed must heavier on him then his doubts on the current job did, so he accepted.

Work in progress, going to continue in a little while and i won't read it over and clean up sentences when i am done with the rest, just so you know :)
