"I want you to work for me, Delmar."
Delmar was momentarily stunned before bursting into another fit of laughter, clearly taking William's statement as a joke.
"Haha! Ahahaha! You're quite adept at telling jokes, kid. Thanks for giving me a laugh in these dark times."
"I wasn't joking, Delmar." William tried to explain it to him.
"...Work for me. And I can provide you with any amount you desire."
Delmar finally took the kid's words seriously and inquired, "Why me? What exactly do you want from me? I'm just an ordinary guy with limited knowledge about computers."
"Aaahaa. Tell that to the people you just shot missiles at." William said sarcastically to the man who just took care of an armed police force.
"Jokes aside, I genuinely want you to work for me."
"...I don't work for anyone anymore... now." Delmar said as his words held a distant meaning.
