“Jessu.”
“Yes Engel, what is it?”
“Stessi what’s to see you.”
“Okay, I’ll be on my way.”
Jessu hangs up the phone, gathering his gear, and leaves for Stessi’s office.

Later, in Stessi’s office, the leader of the Angeli del Dio sits talking to his best assassin.
“Jessu, we realize that you are our best, but you charge too much, there isn’t much we can do but let you go. I’m really sorry for this, I truly am, but we can’t afford your services anymore.”
“So, you’re saying that I’m fired from your “company”? Well, atleast I still have the parsonage and the church.”
“Now that’s looking on the bright side. However there is one more thing we must have you do. One last mission for the best of us.”
“You’re kidding? You just let me go and you expect me to do a job for you?”
“Yes.”
“You’re crazy if you think I’ll bite.”
“No, actually, I’m not. After you complete this job I will give you the biggest bonus of your life and offer you your job back. That is a promise, here is a contract stating the nature of all of this, however for this contract you cannot be an employee of ours. You must be independent.”
“Let me read and get back to you. And what if I don’t accept this contract?”
“You still loose your job, sorry, but that is how it works.”
“Okay.”
