Luis
He was walking inside a high-rise building. Hermes Hotel was the name posted outside. Luis was excited to enter the hotel. He knew every nook and cranny of this place at the back of his head. He immediately went to the receptionist area and encoded his credentials. The whole place screamed luxury from the white marbled wall and white tiled granite floor. The reception desk on the other hand sported a black countertop with a waterfall design on the edges.
“Good morning sir Luis. Please have your fingerprint and retina scan before entering.” the guard on duty greeted him with a smile. He had gone here a couple of times before yet every employee here knew him by face and name. That was how tight the security in this place was. There was a hidden entrance that opened when the guard mentioned his name and a specific instruction. At first, he was shocked, being in the construction industry he knew how hard it was to pull off such a hidden door.
“Thank you, Jorge.” (Hor-he) he replied as he placed his palm in a glass panel situated in the wall. He then straightened his body and faced a mirror. A few more seconds and a glass door opened beside the scanner. It was disguised as a mirror at first glance.
“You may proceed inside sir,” Jorge instructed him once again while he placed his hands in the door to prevent it from automatically closing in.
“Good morning and thanks once again.” Luis smiled as he spoke.
His agent knew he would be coming over today to one of RnJ Services’ head offices in the country to submit a new medical test. That was his initial plan, to get another client. If the amount was right, he won’t need another one hopefully.
Technically, he did not need to fill up an application as it had the same details but as a standard, they were obliged to undergo a medical examination. It was the only way to track their new identities. And to ensure that they are healthy.
He already had the results and was about to give them to his agent.
“Luis! Good to see you again.” He was greeted by Miracle. She was as tall as he remembered and such a jolly lady. She was the bridge that connected Luis with RnJ services and the rest was history.
“Good morning Miracle. It is always nice to see you.” Luis said and then he was ushered by her towards the new facility. It just got an upgrade for the newest gadgets and monitoring systems.
“Do you have a client in mind already?” he asked her with curiosity. He hoped to get one as fast as he could. He was determined to start the project already and place his company on the map of Bacolod City.
“Yes, a couple of clients actually. So, hopefully, you will be picked immediately.” Miracle explained to him where to stand as he was scanned from head to toe.
He just sighed as he was used to the scans that were done by RnJ. The one thing he wasn’t accustomed to was him, trying to sell his time, body, and dignity just for his company to grow.
His conscience was eating him up. Every client he met was successful and had self-worth while he was the opposite.
“Sir please stay still.” Another beautiful lady who was looking at the monitor instructed him.
“Is this going to take long?” he was partially joking and as a matter of fact, he was even flirting with the lady. The lady immediately blushed at his gesture.
“Hi pretty boy, it looks like you are using my techniques on this poor girl. How about me?” La diva interjected at his flirting. He did not see her coming.
She was the Goddess of Seduction and he barely passed the second exam. A few more minutes in that nightclub VIP room and he would have failed miserably.
“Hi La Diva, I thought you had a new boy toy. Where is he? I heard he was a snob eh?” Luis chuckled. He liked to rub salt into her wounds just for fun.
“Shush, I am not here for him. I am here for you. So, what do you say?” She was running her fingers in his skin. Gently stroking his biceps moving slowly into his torso and then his neck.
Luis was breathing fast, his chest was falling up and down. He was under her leash once again.
“Ehem, what are you both doing?” Miracle broke their staredown.
“Luis stop messing around. Reserve your seduction skills for your client later. She will be coming over. I hope she would pick already. Such a picky client.” Miracle once again spoke. She was feisty and did not mind getting in between La Diva’s games.
After the scan was complete and La Diva had gone to another man. Luis was now seeing the new fingerprints and eye contacts. He would be using it later for their initial meeting. It would help him hide his real identity. There was also a facial mask that changed his facial structure. Another layer of security for him.
“After an hour you can start to change. You have been assigned a new identity already. Here is your profile. Study and learn them quickly. Oh, you will be a fishball vendor just like when I first met you.” She squealed at the last part.
Luis just nodded and went out of the room. He then traveled to the lounge where husbandos are allowed to stay while they were in the head office. He would see his batch mates there as well as newcomers. It was a good hang-out place. Lots of games to choose from.
