THE KARMA SERVICES

The toilet had broken again. This was the fifth time in one week. "Which one of you assholes broke the toilet!" I shouted in an angry and annoyed voice. No answer ."so your just going to ignore me you little pieces of shit?" I shouted angrily. They were getting on my nerves. I stormed my way down the dark hallway toward the common room. The light flickered on and of as I walked down the hallway. I remember partially damaging the light system after the toilet had been broken the third time. I tried kicking open the door but since it was an automatic door, it opened before I could kick it leaving me to kick nothing but air. I regained my balance and burst into the common room of the ship and glared at the three idiots who were not even paying any attention. Jasmine was reading a book on the couch while she laid on her side with her legs on top of each other. She looked up from her book and stared at me with her cold dead eyes. "Hmmm, Seriously this is getting annoying, you and your shitty memory, " she retorted.

"You broke it this morning." said Akira who was playing a video game on the Television with Mace without even looking up. "Wait, what? it could not possibly be me?" I said as I looked sheepishly away from Jasmine's cold stare. I could feel her shooting daggers with her eyes. "We have video footage of you breaking it," she said as she went back to her book. No point in arguing then "Fine, I'm sorry I broke it I'll fix it later. "

"That's what you always say but you never fix it. I do," The person who just spoke was our ships Artificial intelligence. "Anyways we seem to running out of supplies and I am damaged to the point where I can barely make one trip. my artificial body also lacks power " I liked Samantha. She was probably the only sane person in our group. Maybe it was due to the fact that she was an artificial intelligence. Samantha had been broken and damaged several times and I am actually surprised that she didn't try to kill us for damaging her. "You guys need to work," she said. We have been on the ship for over two weeks without a single job. It was seriously getting boring to the point where I had been asleep for four days straight. We were mercenaries who were contracted by strangers to take care of various problems. Whether it was to kill or to kidnap a political figure or to steal a very important object we would do it. we even took jobs such as finding lost pets or body guarding someone. It didn't matter what the job was as long as we were paid for our troubles. "That is easier said than done." I said, "We haven't had a single job in two weeks. We have just been sitting on our butts doing nothing." To be more precise I was just asleep. "I have job for you idiots anyways. So quit your yammering and pay attention I have a job for you." Samantha said. Jasmine, Mace and Akira who were not paying attention turned around and looked at Samantha's holographic figure with their mouth open wide. "when did we get this job?" They asked. "What is the job?" "How much will they pay us?"

"I finally managed to fix my communication network system. We have a lot of jobs to take care of, But To be more precise we have several job requests. 17 to be precise. I analysed and put them in order of importance and how much much money they will pay. 13 of these orders were rescinded because we took long to answer back since our communication systems were down."

Normally I would look at any job missed as lost money, but since it had been so long since we had any jobs I was so happy that I could care less about them. "What are the job types?" Jasmine asked.

"Hold on let me see," Samantha said as she ruffled through her holographic pieces of paper. "hmmm... we have one assassination, two kidnappings and one lost pet."

"I call dibs on the assassination." Jasmine shouted.

"I want the kidnapping case." Akira said

"Me to!" Mace said before I could call on it. "Why do I have to do the lost pet case?" I demanded. "I'm your leader!" Why did I have to be subjected to this nonsense. I was their leader. "OH SHUT UP YOU ANNOYING FUCK !" Samantha snarled. I was taken back by her sudden aggressive. "You know the rule's, you have to call on the job or else it's not yours. Lament your own foolishness for creating a stupid rule like that."

"sigh....fine but I call on you dropping me off at where am needed first. By the way how much are we getting for all the jobs combined?" She ruffled through her papers and started calculating. I could see her calculating as she tilted her head from side to side as she counted. How stupid an A.I trying to look human by acting like one. She seemed to have finished because after three seconds later she stared blank at me and said "since we are getting paid in different currencies, gold and diamonds it would be £1,345,860," Just barely enough to fix Samantha and get the fuel tank three quarters full. "WE SET OUT NOW!" I said in bold voice. "THIS IS OUR PROFFESION, WE MAKE MONEY DOING THIS STUFF. WE ARE THE BEST AT WHAT WE DO. WE ARE THE KARMA SERVICES WHERE WE DO SHIT FOR MONEY." "Yeah yeah we got it shut up." Samantha said "I'm setting course for planet earth. since we are three hundred and fifty kilometres away from earth we should arrive in five minute. Get ready everyone and read the mission data I sent you." I took my phone out and opened the email containing my mission data. I was hired by a rich family in the southern part of Algeria. Their house pet had ran away from home after killing the employers grandmother and eating her body only leaving a bloody mess. What kind of pet did these idiots keep. I looked at the next page to see the information of the pet. These idiots kept a manticore as a pet. This was just a recipe for disaster. "THREE MINUTES TILL WE ARRIVE." Samantha said over the intercom. Akira had already gotten ready. He was wearing a black yukata with white sandals. He had a sheathed samurai sword on his waist and a claymore sword on his back. It was a combination that was not supposed to work but surprisingly he pulled it of. "Are you not gonna get ready?" he asked me.

"Why would he?" Jasmine sarcastically asked. "I've never seen him ever get ready for battle. But I seriously hope that you do want pull up to the employers house looking like that. She was right, I hadn't changed my clothes or had a shower. I was so dirty that my orangish red skin changed into a tanned red. Jasmine was wearing a beautiful red silk dress. Her short black hair had been turned into a light brown bob haircut. "WE HAVE ARRIVED AT EARTH." Samantha said. I got of the couch and before I could take another step

BOOOOM

I tumbled over onto the ground.

"I HAVE BEEN HIT!" Samantha cried over the intercom. "BY WHO?" I bellowed at the top of my lung while I got of the floor. I looked around and saw that Akira wasn't quiet as lucky as I was. Jasmine had stepped on his stomach with her high heels. A mirror had flown all across the room and hit Jasmine in the face knocking her down. "THE EARTH PLANETARY DEFENCE SYSTEM!"

"Those bastards." I seriously hated them. They were the most annoying people I had ever seen.
