It took Nigel a long time before he checked his other messages. He opened the message from Milo.

“Hey, Nige! How are you feeling? Hear from Jet? Give me a call if you want to talk.”

The message from Jake was less menacing than he would have thought.

“Hey, Nigel, just wanted to see how you were doing. I haven’t seen you around school, and I just learned what happened. Don’t worry about leveling the characters to max, just give me what you have. No hurry though. BTW…How are you feeling?”

Nigel was astonished by Jake’s message. He was expecting more threats.

I will take all the good luck I can get, Nigel thought.

Nigel opened the messages from Collective Systems. Three were job offers. The fourth was from Natasha.

“Nigel, I’m concerned that you haven’t accepted a task in over a week. Is there a problem I can help you with? Please call me. It is imperative that I speak with you.”
