Joseph waited patiently for who he was waiting for to appear. Nothing but passerbys but there was one in particular that stood out, the only person to stop and one that was clearly waiting for someone. She checked her watched and glanced over to the meeting place, bingo.

”Well don’t you look nice.” The masked man said as he approached her. There wasn’t much time for pleasantries as they had a job to do and Joseph wasn’t the type who liked to dillydally when he was one the job. The faster they got this job done the better for him.

”C’mon let’s get going.” Hands in coat, Joseph headed toward the establishment they’d be having a “chat” with. ”About this time of night the only person who should be there is the owner and maybe the kid they have come in during these hours to clean up the place.” Joseph began to explain, having done his research on this place before the job.

”Should be an easy job all things considered. Go in, get what we need and then get out.” As long as everything went swimmingly of course. He had to plan for the possibility of something going awry.

”You ready to get this done?”

”Figure that’ll give me one less thing to worry about so sure why not.” The masked man would say in reply to Eden’s words.

In all honesty, she didn’t need to worry herself with anything, Joseph could get all of this done on his own in a timely manner but he supposed having another set of hands was nice, and besides he’d have to play nice if he wanted to get anywhere within Rocket.

It wouldn’t take them long to get to the establishment from where they were, it was time for the show to begin and Joseph was curious how his co-star would do.

”The manager’s office is in the back and given the time the owner should be in there.” Joseph explained, checking a watch that was strapped to his wrist. ”And it would appear that our janitor is in today.” He added, turning to his partner.

”I’ll leave this and the gritty details to you. I’m heading to the back.” He’d wave as he walked away, leaving her to have fun. Joseph would have his own fun, or the closest thing to it, as he made his way to the back. A hop over a fence and the picking of a door and he’d be in.

And as long as his partner did her job then he wouldn’t have anything to worry about outside of “convincing” this man to stay in line, should be simple enough as long as this bozo doesn’t put up much of a hassle.

Joseph would absolutely hate for this to take any longer than it need to be.

Joseph made his way through the building with no problems, stopping right before the office he had come here to find. The man inside was one the phone, the conversation seemed to be winding down so Joseph would wait a bit longer for him to finish before he’d step in.

While waiting the young man released his Liepard, the Pokémon would be useful for when Joseph makes his “offer”. And she wasn’t the only Pokémon in use, as another was hiding within the masked man’s shadow, his Gengar. Once the man was done on the phone Joseph would strike having his Gengar go in first, killing the lights and setting everything in motion.

Joseph would then step into the room causing the man to freeze at his chair. ”Do you know why I’m here?” The man shook his head in response. His hand went to reach for something but was stopped as Joseph’s Gengar reached out from the ground and grabbed the man’s arm.

”Oh c’mon now, we’re just having a friendly chat.” Joseph shook his head, approaching the man slowly as his Liepard followed behind. ”No need to involve anyone else in our friendly little chat.” He smiled, a bit delighted in the man’s clear terror that was plastered all over his face.

”I’m here to offer you a deal of a lifetime! Let’s call it an insurance policy that my company is offering and trust me you don’t want to miss this out on this opportunity. So relax! I’m not here to hurt you.” That was mostly true, if he showed to be a problem then Joseph might have to.

”All you have to do is sign this paper and we’ll be in business! We’ll offer our services and make sure nothing bad happens to you or your fine establishment and all you have to do is give us a little something every now and then. And if you don’t well……” As he trailed off he looked over to his Liepard who was now circling the man, her tail brushing against him.

It was enough to get the man to sign the paper which meant the job was pretty much done. ”Thank you for your cooperation.” As he finished his words Joseph’s Gengar used Hypnosis on the man, knocking him out. ”Go alert our friend that we’re done here.” Joseph ordered his Gengar who nodded his head and then disappeared.

Joseph would leave the building and wait outside now that his part of the job was over. All he had to do was give his partner this document and then be on his way. Now where Eden was Joseph’s Gengar would appear nearby the woman and wave to her, giving her a thumbs up to signify they were done before leaving.

”All nicely signed and everything.” Joseph replied, handing over the papers to the woman. ”It was an easy job.” He shrugged, returning his two Pokémon back to their capsules.

”Figure the janitor wasn’t any sort of trouble.” It would be a hell of a surprise if somehow he was. Well if that done and over with there was no point in sticking around so it was time to get moving.

He was sure he had another job to do and if not maybe he could relax a bit. ”It was fun working with you, see ya around.” The masked man waved goodbye as he walked away, disappearing into the night.
