David woke up from a deep sleep to the beeping of a heart monitor and he then remembered that he was not at home anymore with his parents. He was in the bed of a hospital bed. This most likely meant that he had had another seizure and was rushed to the hospital by his best friend Frank.
"Well, it's good to see that you are fully able to move around freely again." David heard a very familiar voice say to him as he rose in his bed.
David looked around the room and noticed that Frank was sitting in the only chair in the room which was against the window.
Frank and David were both staring at each other. Frank looked relieved that David had survived another seizure, but David rubbed his head out of pain as he sat up and looked at Frank as if he was laser-focused on whatever he would say next.
"How are you doing?" David heard a female nurse ask him as she stepped into the room.
She was wearing a set of medical scrubs. Her black hair was in a bun which made her face seem to shine as she entered the room.
"Y…Yes, I am feeling g…great. I think that I can move around freely now." David said in a shuddered tone because he always lost his concentration whenever he was in the presence of a pretty girl.
"Good, then we will gather your release papers so that you can be on your way back home." The nurse said to David before she turned away and left the room.
"David you are never going to get yourself a girl if you keep messing up your speech like that," Frank said to David as he took a drink of water from the cup beside him.
"Hello is this the room of David Hendrix?" a man who was in a black suit asked as he stepped into the room and stared at Frank from behind his black shades.
The sight of this man caused David to shiver in fear as if this clearly was a man that you did not want to either lie to or double-cross.
"Yes, I am David Hendrex". David said in a fearful tone as if he was worried about why he would be here.
"Tell me David have you been keeping up with the news lately?" he asked as he grabbed the only spare chair in the room and set it down at the end of the bed.
"I only check the news about once a week to be honest. Why do you ask?"
"Well, the global news is constantly reporting about these sites that suddenly appeared around the world. These sites all contain a terminal that was connected to a metal column that contains spheres of blood. These are all respawn locations for a new mobile game called Renovanen."
"Yes, I have heard about that game. What do you need David to play this game for?" Frank asked in a suspicious tone as if he did not trust this guy.
"I am a representative of a corporation that works alongside the United States government. Our function is to go inside mobile games and stop an opposing corporation that is in Europe.
I am here to give David an offer to work for us by going into the game and finding out what the European corporation is up to". The man in the black suit said as he removed his shades and looked directly into David's eyes.
"What exactly would be stopping me from just logging into the game myself and playing just for myself?" David asked as he adjusted his posture to where he was on the same level as the visitor.
"All right let's get down to business and drop all the chatter. I know that you have a very expensive medical bill because you keep coming to the ER because of your seizures. I am offering you an opportunity to work for us and we will pay off your medical bills in exchange for your help."
"If you know about his condition then why are you offering him this? It could kill him." Frank said out of rage at what was just said.
"We have put that into consideration. We include a medical stay in a hospital room the entire time you work for us."
"I accept the terms of this agreement". David said without giving it a second thought.
"Are you sure that this is what you want to do?" Frank asked me with a concerned tone.
"Yes, I am positive Frank because I do not have any other way that I will be able to pay off my medical bills."
"If you are accepting the offer then I will need you to place your right thumb on this tablet as a method of signing." He said as he handed David a tablet that had a typed contract and a finger scanner was attached to it.
David instantly put his right thumb on the fingerprint scanner without even thinking.
"Good, now that we have that done, we are going to relocate you to one of our private facilities where you will be taken care of by our top doctors. Also, while we are taking you to the facility, I can explain more details about this game that we want to hire you to investigate.
Then there was a knock on the door and another man who was in an identical uniform stepped into the room.
"We are finished signing his paperwork to be released from the hospital". The second person who was in a black suit said to the first one.
"Now that all of your paperwork has been finished let's go to the facility where you will begin fulfilling your active contract with us."
Then David got out of the scrubs I had on and put on my red t-shirt, black long jeans, my tennis shoes, and finally his father's watch.
This watch was of great importance to David because it was one of the only things that his father had left to him. Wearing this item made him feel closer to his father after his death.
After that, David walked out of the hospital behind the men who had offered me a job. Then a black car pulled up and they put a blind over David's eyes.
"I am sorry David but the location of our base is a secret so I do not have a choice you must be blindfolded."
"I understand that you must take precautions as a method of security," David said as they blindfolded him and put him in the back of the car.
David could tell that the car was going over a bridge and then onto a boat after about an hour of riding. It took about two hours for the car to stop moving and then they removed David's blindfold as he was brought out of the car.
"Welcome to the next phase of your life as our employee."
