RENT OVERDUE NOTICE
Those three words that Kent Colson is a little too familiar with.
Kent has been having trouble paying his long overdue rent,he just got fired from his old job as a waiter in a restaurant downtown. The restaurant was making budget cuts and he just so happened to be fired.
Kent’s only income is a gardening gig from his old “friend”, Walter,a 50 something year old man who lives 2 to 3 hours away in the middle of nowhere.Although Walter doesn’t pay much,Kent has been working for him for 7-8 years now and he only sees it as a side gig.
…
Kent,faced with the reality that he was to pay this bills or he’s going to get evicted,gets out off his messy bed. And decides to go start looking for work again.
Kent sighs and yawns as he puts on his clothes on(he has a habit of sleeping in the nude)
As Kent leaves his small apartment,he ripped the rent overdue notice paper from his door and threw it inside the house,accidentally ripping it a little in the process.
…
Kent went into almost every store downtown, it was already sunset when he finished his job hunting adventure.
“Sorry,we’re not hiring” was all he heard
He was devastated,he barely has money for dinner,how could he possibly pay for his bills with no job.
Just then,he heard a notification on his phone
“Me and the guys are going to the local bar now ,want to join?”
“Can’t,no money”
“Dw,it’s my treat”
“Fine,see you in 10 minutes”
Kent was just around the corner and how could he possibly say no to alcohol. It’s the only thing that takes him mind off any problems he has,since he quit smoking last year.
…
“How is the job hunting thing going?”one of his friend asked
“Fucking horrible,no one is fucking hiring”Kent explained aggressively with a beer in his hand.
“I mean-You could always be a stripper here,I heard they’re hiring” another friend added ,half joking
Kent was/is considered attractive,with a muscular physique ,toned body,ocean blue eyes,dark hair and he had the looks of a model,has the bond look about him,so it’s not like it’s entirely out of the question
“I tried but they weren’t hiring”Kent joked but seriously thought about it for a short moment
The chatters continued with the guys talking about random unimportant things like hookups and other stuff like cars.
…
It just turned 11 pm when all the guys decided to finally go home,to them it’s like time flew by,they didn’t even noticed they’ve all been sitting by the bar for hours.
“Guys,I gotta go home,got work in the morning” one of the guys said
“Same”some of the other guys replied
“I’ll call us an Uber or something”
“I’ll just walk home,I live nearby and I’m not as hammered as you guys” Kent explained
…
“Okay,see you guys next time” Kent yawned as he helped the guys close the car door
“I’m so tired,what time is it” Kent said to himself sleepily,he went to pick up his phone in his pocket but it wasn’t there
“Fuck,must have left it at the bar” Kent groaned as he slowly walked himself back into the crowded bar
…
After Kent got his phone back,he was stopped by an older man
Kent was almost taken aback at first
The man was in a black tuxedo,looked like he was in his fifties ,wearing a very expensive looking watch which is the first thing Kent noticed.
“Apologises if I startled you but I couldn’t help but overhear that you’re in need of a job” the old man said
Kent’s eyes lit up with excitement.After seeing the man’s watch,he knew the job was going to pay well. He didn’t care what the job was,he knew he was going to take it no matter what
“You are exactly what we are looking for,come by my office tomorrow at 8 am for an interview if you want the job” The man stated before handing Kent his business card and leaving the crowded bar
Kent was speechless,he felt like it was fate.
Before Kent could even turn around to thank the man,the man already left in his car.
“Th-thank you…Clifford…” he muttered as he read the business card to know the man’s name
…
The next morning, Kent woke up at 5 am ,finished his morning routine by 5:30.
He was incredibly nervous that day about the job thing,he knew this was his only chance to get a job,and a high paying one at that
Kent,now dressed in a suit,a suit that he wears to all weddings he attended and other occasions,the suit is a little more tight,since he got muscular. His hair slicked back and he puts on his usual charming smile on.
…
Kent arrived to the building by foot,it was 7:50 by then,he was sweating from the long walk.He was incredibly for the job interview,doubts started to fill his mind
“I’m not qualified for this shit!” He screamed to himself in his head
But his demeanour changes when he has a random thought
Just lie
…
Kent takes a deep breath before walking into Clifford’s office
The office was huge,with giant windows that could look down the entire city,a bookshelf stacked with books.And Clifford was sitting there ,behind his desk on a long black and white faux fur armchair
“Just in time..”Clifford said to Kent with a look that he couldn’t make out
“Yeah…I walked here…”
“Sit”,Clifford looks at the chair in front of him
Kent particularly sprinted to the seat
“I’m just going to ask you some questions to write down so I can see if you’re qualified”
Kent nods
“Full name?”Clifford asked
“Kent Michael Colson”
“Age?”
“27”
“Would people describe you as honest and trustworthy?”
“Oh definitely”
“Years of education?”
“I finished high school”
“Technical Expertise?”
“I-um-you could say I’m experienced”
That was a lie,the only thing he did that could count is teaching his grandfather how to turn his phone on and off
“Risk tolerance?”
“I’m all about the risk,I believe it’s almost necessary for any situation”
“How can you do under pressure?”
“I’m very calm,I like to make very precise decisions”
“Observation skills?”
“I’m amazing at it,I don’t miss a single thing”
Fulling lying through his teeth,his lies hiding behind his cocky-yet charming smile
“How are you on Physical fitness and combat skills?”
“I’m definitely an expert”
“Can you stand up?”
“Yea sure”,Kent stood up,looking down at Clifford
Clifford made that look again,that look that Kent could quite make out
“It’s kind of hard to see with your jacket,don’t you think?”
“Really? I can take it off”,Kent took off his blazer jacket
“And your shirt is getting in the way of me seeing if you’re actually qualified”
“O-oh? I can take that off too”
Clifford stood up and walked behind his desk to stand next to Kent,”Let me help”
Clifford helped Kent unbutton his shirt while Kent just stood there nervously,looking away from him
This is his make or break moment,Kent thought to himself
“You have a very nice body,those arms are amazing,you must work out a lot” Clifford remarked as he was feeling up Kent’s arms
“Y-yeah…you could say that…”Kent replied,looking up at the ceilings
“And your legs?”
Kent sighed as he pulled down his pants,exposing his white briefs
“Uh-um…is this good?”
“You’re amazing,totally what we’re looking for,totally undercover agent material”
“U-undercover agent?”
“You didn’t know?”
“I-of course I knew,just confirming,that’s all”
Kent was shocked,how could this be real
“That’s good,we’ve just have you do a couple of photos in the other room for work purposes”
“O-ok.”
Kent followed Clifford into another room that’s down the hallway of Clifford’s office
The room was smaller than his office but still was huge,with professional equipments for photography,with expensive looking cameras,a backdrop ,lights and all the other stuff
“Wow…” Kent mumbled to himself,impressed by the room and the equipment
Clifford picked up the camera that was on a wooden chair ,”Just let me get some pictures so we can add it to our database”
Kent looked down at what he’s wearing,no shirt with his pants pulled down
Clifford noticed and smirked “It’s fine,take off your pants and we’re set”
Kent raised his eyebrows,head tilted for just a moment,confused on why he needed to only be in his underwear but goes along with it as soon as he saw Clifford started to get impatient
Kent set into his position,just standing in front of the white backdrop
Kent was also instructed to remove his briefs since “the red will mess up the lights on the camera”
Kent was reluctant at first but was relieved when Clifford assured him that no one would see the pictures
Kent also thought this was just the little sacrifice he had to make in order to make the big bucks
Kent noticed Clifford giving the “look” again but it was quickly dismissed by him
…
“Kent Colson,you’re now a official undercover agent/secret agent,come back tomorrow and any time we call for meetings” Clifford said
“Um-how exactly does this job pay?”Kent asked
“You get paid per mission,each mission pays different,it depends on the difficulty and how the individual’s performance”Clifford clarified
Kent just nods…
