I got a new job the other day. One to add on to my real job. This one's just for the side, something that I can do without even putting too much effort into it, for a while. Eventually I'll actually have to do something about it, but not yet. Right now it just the same kind of stuff that I always do in my free time, the kind of stuff that I like doing the most.

It's one of Michal's jobs. Usually I hate it when he brings jobs to me, because I just can't say no to him and his jobs usually suck ass. Last time he had me retrieving some stupid ring that one of his errand boys lost in the sewers... Why he had me doing it, I don't know, but I smelled like a toilet for days on end after that and everyone at work kept commenting on it. I told them that I had had some plumbing problems and my washer had filled with sewage for a small time, leaving the smell on all of my clothes for a little bit. They bought it, because no one would actually come up with something that stupid as an excuse for something.

This time he wants to me lure a kid in for him, the same way he got me way back when. The kid's dad has problems...major ones, but he's a sweet guy anyway. He kinda reminds me of one of those girls who can't help but like the bad guys. I hear he's been going through guys like crazy since he divorced his wife, the kid's mom, and apparently all of them have been the criminal types. A couple rapists, several abusive guys, some thieves, three murderers, a drug dealer or two, and even one pimp who was considering trying to get him into the prostitution scene. (And while he's not bad looking, I honestly can't see him as a whore...but that's me.)

The kid watches out for his dad, big time. He's actually chased a bunch of the guys out of their apartment with a knife before. That's really brave of him, especially when he did it to the guy who later turned out to be a sociopath with a thing for guys who reminded him of his own dad. I was half convinced that I would be chased out of the place that morning after I convinced the dad to take me home, knowing what this kid is like, but somehow I'm still there.

I think the kid likes me. Not that way, of course, though I'm closer to his age than I am to the dad's age. But I think he thinks I'm a good guy, and that's what I'm trying for. That's what Michal was to me before he called me out to follow him, and the better the kid thinks of me, the better chances of I have of actually getting him to Michal before he realizes what's going on. Besides, any distrust the kid might have for me I think is based on the fact that he doesn't believe I have completely good intentions towards his father...and I do. I like the guy, and he's really great in bed, so I have nothing to say against him.

I don't know what sort of plans Michal has for the kid. I don't think I want to know either. He didn't turn me into one of his freaky killer kids when he got me, and I kinda hope he doesn't do that to the kid. But I'm not about to ask, because every piece of information that I don't know is one more piece of information that Michal doesn't have to worry about me leaking to someone who might want it. I know what Michal likes to do to people who know too much, and that's not the kind of end that I want to see.
