Josh ran home. For 2 years straight he spent all his funds buying alcohol and watching TV. He drank a lot but even the alcohol couldn't make him forget what happened on the station 13.
Josh was watching TV
"You all remember NT, the company that has launched 13 stations into space, spent billions of dollars trying to make your life more interesting, helping your dreams of living in space become true. The owner of NT is here to share some words with you." spoke the woman on the TV
"Hello everyone watching, I am John Nanotressen, the owner of NT. I would like to announce, Space Station 14. Our newest station, it has increased security, Clowns and musicians for your entertainment and its own bar. Come sign up to be a passenger abord Space Station 14 now. At [redacted].com , for only 19000$" said John Nanotressen
"What's this bullshit, haven't you learnt from your other station, this will only go to hell " thought John to himself.
All of a sudden, A knock came from the door.
"Must be the mail robot" said Josh
Josh opened the door. The mail robot handed him the mail. "thank you for choosing mailrobo™" said the robot with his automated voice.
"Whatever, I don't care" said Josh, as he walked inside. He started opening the letters
"Unpaid rent, taxes." Said Josh.
"Wait, what is this. It has no address" said Josh curiously. He opened the letter
"Hello Josh marker. We have a job offer for you, it doesn't need any special skills and you will be payed 10k per month, please come to Juxberg 24th" was written on the letter.
"That old slums? I really shouldn't go there but I am running low on money, this does sound like a joke but I got nothing better to do, since everyone is talking about the new station 14" mumbled Josh.
Josh took a knife just incase and started to head for Juxberg 24th.
He arrived there and started waiting.
A black van parked right infront of Josh.
"What's this, some shit kidnapping addemt?" mumbled josh.
Josh took a grasp of his knife, in his pocket. Just to be ready.
The door opened and 2 people dressed fully in black jumped out.
Josh saw one of them holding a gun the other one a taser. As josh tried to pull out his knife, he felt a fast electric shock in his chest and fell on the ground.
Josh opened his eyes. Trying to move his hands but unable to, he felt his hands tied to the chair he was sitting on.
He looked up and saw an old man. Behind him was a red banner, with the letter "S" in black on it.
"Where am I? Let me go" said Josh
"Welcome Josh, it seems you have accepted our job offer." Said the old man
"This is no job, this is kidnapping. Wait until I escape and tell the police" said Josh in a treating voice
"You won't leave, if you manage to escape. I will make sure your life thread is cut shorter, if you get what I mean" said the old man and started to laugh
"Ki- kil- kill me?" Said josh scared
"There, you are already learning" said the old man.
"You don't know who I am, people will come looking for me. They will find your whole operation that you are doing here." Said Josh confidently
"Who?" Said the old man
"Parents killed at the age of 10, went to learn to be security at Defence University, graduated and joined Central Commanders job force. Worked as a security officer for 4 years and promoted to head of security. Then sent off to space station 13, came back and quit his job. Been an alcoholic and jobless for 2 years" said the old man
"Sounds familiar?" Continued the old man while starting to laugh again.
"H- h- how do you know all of that?" asked Josh
"Secret, I know more than you know about your own life" said the old man.
"What do you want of me?" Asked Josh
"You're gonna start working for me Josh" said the old man
"You will be trained to become one of my Syndicate Agents"
"Syndicate Agents? Like one of the ones, I kil- ki-" said Josh before he was interrupted
"Killed" said the old man finishing Joshes sentence.
"One of my agents who had worked for me, for a long time" said the old man
"You will begin training tomorrow, guards. Take him away" said the old man
Josh felt the ropes becoming loose that were used to tie him up.
"Wait- before they take me away, who are you even?" Asked Josh
"You can call me Commander Wo" said the old man
The guards escorted josh to a bedroom, it had about 6 beds in there. Josh could spot a couple of other people already sleeping, so he went to bed also
"What have I done" thought josh to himself before falling asleep
