Aaron rode his bike home after he deposited the Taydens in to his account. He put on a pair of lounge pants and a t-shirt and sat on his bed watching TV when his phone started ringing; it was Grecius calling. "Do you have another job for me?" Aaron asked answering the phone.

"Sort of. I'm having a little party, and I would like it if you were there." Grecius told him.

"What kind of work is it?" Aaron asked.

"It's not work. I would like you there as my guest. This is a social function. There'll be free food and it will be a chance for you to unwind. Plus it'll be an opportunity for you to get some new clients. There'll be plenty of my friends there who have people that are bothering them." Grecius said gaining Aaron's attention.

"I'll be there." Aaron told him.

"Great, I'll send you the details." Grecius said sending the information to Aaron's phone. "And be sure to wear something nice. This is a party after all." He said hanging up.

The next evening, Aaron stood in front of the mirror wearing a dark gray suit with a black shirt and tie. He made sure that he had the invitation on his phone. He put the phone in his pocket as well as his blaster on the inside of his jacket. He put on his helmet and hopped on to his bike. The party was at a luxury hotel on the surface. Despite there being a valet, Aaron parked his own bike. He walked to the ballroom where two guards stood outside. "Invitation?" One of them asked glaring at Aaron. Aaron pulled out his phone and pulled up the hologram displaying the invitation. "Go right in." He said opening the door for Aaron who walked right inside.

Grecius spotted Aaron and called him over. "I thought you said that this was a small party." Aaron said looking around the massive ballroom.

"That's not really important. Now come with me, I have to introduce you to some of my friends." Aaron followed Grecius to a secluded room in the ballroom where a group of wealthy looking aliens were sitting around a table eating while several waiters and waitresses stood by their sides ready to wait on them hand and foot.

An Uxorite wearing a long ball gown looked at Aaron. "So, you're the new rookie that Grecius has been bragging about?" Aaron simply nodded his head.

A Loboan wearing a monocle and top hat looked at Aaron. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you. Grecius has told us so much about you." Aaron shook his hand firmly. "Good grip. I like that."

A Crystalsapien wearing a black suit, white shirt, and red bowtie had his fingers clenched together. "Would the rest of you please give us a moment? I would like to talk to the boy." The staff and the aliens sitting around the table quickly stood up and walked out of the room. "My name is Cryx. I'm sure that Grecius has told you that I am very wealthy." Aaron nodded his head while he continued speaking. "Well, I'm sure that he didn't tell you that I'm a gambling man. That's how I made my fortune, and I think that I would like to take a chance on you. The payout would be quite large if you are successful."

"If I fail?" Aaron asked.

"Let's just hope that it doesn't come to that. Are you in?" Cryx asked with his fingers still clenched.

"What's the job?" Aaron asked glaring at him.

"There's a roller derby tournament occurring in a few days. I have quite a bit of money on one of the teams to win. The odds are not in my favor. That's where you come in. The other team is very skilled, one player specifically. I have instructed her to throw the tournament and in return I will pay her. She took my money, but I don't trust her. I want you at that race. Your job is simple. If her team loses do nothing. If she wins, kill her and bring me the body." Cryx explained.

"What about my compensation?" Aaron asked crossing his arms.

"Rest assured that you will be compensated quite well. Plus, you can use my personal seats, front row, right in front of the action." Cryx said extending his hand to Aaron. He shook his hand signifying his agreement. "Excellent, here's the information." Cryx said typing a few things on a data pad that transmitted the data to Aaron's phone.

Aaron looked over the data which was very thorough and specific. The picture was of a girl with black hair in a ponytail. There was also a pink silk strip in her hair. Her eyes were a burnt gold color.

Name: Sydney

Species: 3/4 Tetramand 1/4 human

Height: 5' 2

Age: 16

Other notes: Goes by nickname Sylk. Parents are plumbers. Skilled roller derby competitor. Utilizes brass knuckles as weapons and is incredibly strong. Prone to violence in certain situations.

Cryx also handed Aaron a card explaining that it was a pass for the roller derby arena; apparently it could get him in to any part of the arena with no questions asked. Cryx had connections throughout Undertown. "Now, why don't you go enjoy the party while I talk with Grecius?" Cryx said as Aaron was escorted from the room and led back to the main party.

Aaron talked with a few of the guests, most of them were friends with Grecius and spoke fondly of him. Aaron helped himself to the food table which contained a variety of foods from across the galaxy and earth. Aaron tried most of the food liking some of it hating some of it. Afterwards he took a seat at the bar where the bartender poured him several rounds of a transparent sea blue fluid that was very watery. The bartender knew that Aaron was underage and made sure to follow the Earth laws accordingly.

After having his fun, Aaron got on his motorcycle and went home. He changed out of the suit and tie and laid down in his bed exhausted from the late party. He looked over the information one more time on his phone. The girl was a hybrid like him, but she was a bit younger than him. "Hopefully you make the right choice." Aaron thought to himself as he turned his phone off and went to sleep.
