What Gideon saw in the letter were instructions with some basic modifications that needed to be done to the different toys which would be fitted with different things he regularly added to some of his usual assassination items.
If there was no compartment to place something inside then he would have to make one.
If a part was unsuitable for what he had in mind for its purpose then it needed to be replaced or removed.
Some would have projectiles added inside which could be triggered to shoot something.
Others could be implanted with explosive devices which could be triggered by a certain mechanism or function of what he had built it into.
Some would have poisoned needles or gases inside which would be triggered when held or used so that the target would breathe in the gases or be pricked by the needle resulting in them being poisoned.
He did not just stick to one method and there were many times when he needed to be creative in the way he killed.
There were some times when his kills needed to look more like accidents or natural deaths so he could not have his inventions as being so obvious as being the cause behind the deaths each time.
Gideon did not know what purpose the other party had but it was clear that they wished to arm themselves with his inventions.
He did not know whether the first package was just a minor test to see how he handled it or if it was all that was required of him for future requests but he could do nothing about it.
He looked towards each of the toys and they all seemed very ordinary and could be found anywhere.
There were no defining features about them that could give away where they came from or where they could have been made or purchased.
It left him feeling quite frustrated that he would be unable to find out more about those who had something over him.
Some of the toys and dolls that were in the box had seemed like they were very old and were possibly second-hand toys so it made it just as difficult for him to gain any information from them.
Some may have gone from one place to another while the original purchase details would be almost impossible to dig up and track even with his contacts.
If he called in a favor, Gideon still did not have the confidence to track down the people who were making him work for them.
If he was given the opportunity then he would take it so he remained alert looking for possible opportunities while performing his new role.
He removed one toy and started taking it apart piece by piece while getting a better understanding of the full structure before he started to draw out some models of what could be done to them.
Each design he did was very subtle and concealed the purposes of each of them well underneath the original things that were delivered to them.
After he was done with them, they looked new and better than ever before like they were a brand new toy and not the old secondhand goods that came in.
Each of them looked very professionally done like they had been fully restored to their former glory or perhaps even better than that.
He read the instructions again before putting them back inside of the package which was sealed up again.
He put the money he earned in his back safe before going out to put the package in the designated spot on time for it to be picked up.
Gideon was very curious and could not let it go completely so he stuck around and hid himself to watch over the package but he was soon left unsatisfied again.
A couple of homeless kids from the back streets came to pick up the box and disappeared with it before moving away quickly out of his view.
He wanted to chase them to see who they met but they were already gone and his body would not let him undergo such an activity any longer.
He could only watch helplessly as they got further away and disappeared with the package.
What he did not know was that each of the toys he had modified was watching him the entire time as he worked.
They studied how he worked and tried to understand a little of what he was doing while keeping close surveillance over him in case he tried anything malicious.
It would never be known for sure if he had done something but it was best to remain cautious.
The package passed from person to person until it was delivered to an abandoned building where the toys and dolls remained sealed inside.
Nobody came to get them from where they were delivered and during the night when the place was completely silent, there was a ripping noise that came from the package as the seal broke.
The package was pushed open and the toys inside started to crawl out one after another and were moving around as if celebrating their freedom.
