Jürgen listened to what Miguel asked him and didn’t need much time to respond. However, what he requested in return shook Miguel to his core, down to the depths of his being. Miguel had only until the next morning to think about it and answer Jürgen. He started walking through the streets, thinking about the conversation with Jürgen, hoping to remember something that might help him decide.
– I’m listening, Miguel. What can I do for you? I assume something is bothering you for you to come all the way here and risk your life to talk to me.
– Yes, I need an implant to help me break my addictions. I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it alone and that I’ll relapse into substance abuse, something I’ve fought hard to stop. I know about you, Jürgen. I know you have the equipment and the knowledge to create such an implant.
– Rest assured, I can do it, and I’ve done it for many. The people I’ve chosen to be around me are programmed by me for exactly this reason. To be sober and free of any dependencies so that when and if I need them, I know they’ll be able to provide their services to me.
– You mean you’ve programmed them to serve you?
– No, I don’t mean it that way, Miguel. It’s a kind of repayment to me. They offered their loyalty because I helped them have a better life they couldn’t achieve on their own.
– Alright, I didn’t come here to judge anyone, Jürgen. I just want to ask if you can make me this implant.
– As you understood, that’s my job, and I can have it ready even by tomorrow. But I’ll need a favor from you.
– I’m listening.
At that moment, Jürgen showed a video on a tablet to Miguel, depicting a family in a vehicle moving down a road.
– This is my main competitor with his wife and child. I know your past and your abilities, and I want you to eliminate all three of them and make it look like an accident.
Miguel froze and looked at Jürgen’s expressionless face. Before he could say anything, Jürgen handed him a communication device.
– Call me in the morning and tell me if we’ll work together. Don’t be afraid to speak into it. Once the call ends, it will erase all data and lock.
Jürgen turned his back on Miguel and walked away, saying: – Don’t miss this opportunity, Miguel. We here look out for each other…
