Was it worth it? “Do something for me, and I will give you twelve payments, of a hundred thousand dollars, every month.” A mysterious voice said, from the shadows. “Who said that?! Come out!” I yelled, out of fear. “Calm down. You wouldn't care who I was, when I come out.” The man said, as he came out. He was a skinny man. Probably 110 lbs. He was 5’11, which towers over me. He had freshly cut hair. He was wearing a black suit. He was fairly sharp, for being a scammer. Then again, he could have just been a normal politician. He walked out of the dark alley.

It's now been a month and my first check, has come in the mail. He put it in a manila envelope. I opened it, and like Rob promised, there was a ten separate checks for $1,000. I thought out my plan.
