Recycling Plants

After he finished recycling the disposable spare part, his inventory was filled with a range of different elements, from oxygen to Lithium, however they were in small quantities. "If I can find a way to get a constant supply of items that can be disposed, I'd be able to make a killing with this" his monologue however was interrupted when Tabo walked into the room "hey Jack you're finally out, why didn't you tell me"

"Hey Tabo my phone got fried remember, which reminds me I've got to buy a new one" but before he could continue, he notices Tabo's gaze fixed on the black pool. For a second he looks at the pool then Tabo "yeahhh you won't believe what's been happening so far", Jack goes on to explain all that's been happening since he woke up, when he finished Tabo stared at him "so you're telling me that you can basically turn anything into their base elements or sell them? Tell me if I'm on the right track bro" Jack nods In confirmation.

"Bro we can use this to become rich, if what you say is true, we can open a recycling plant and just let people bring all their to us. Do you know how much waste is simply piling up everywhere?!" Tabo became more and more ecstatic as he thought about it. "Tabo calm down, we need to plan this properly score we can do anything"

"We'll need a location, somewhere easily accessible so that trucks could drive through, somehow cover up how much we're able to get rid of and so many other things" this made them apprehensive as all that waste simply disappearing won't go unnoticed, and questions will be asked.

"How about we set up in a remote location, at first deal with the waste in the local area, maybe even pay the local boys to help gather up the trash?" They thought about it and seemed like a feasible idea at the moment.

After various questions and answers, they had a rough idea of what they wanted to do, first they needed money. This wasn't an issue as the following night Jack snuck into a junkyard late at night, there were hardly any security and nobody really cared about all the junk laying about as they didn't know what to do with it. He stared at piles and piles of items simply laying about, ranging from abandoned cars to old TVs and couldn't help the grin that snuck onto his face. "This would be so much easier if I could set the black pool to sell instead of recycle" but you can't have it all.

After hours of touch and sell he finally got what he believed to be enough for the initial setup and extra, for that nights excursion he made over $500,000 and looking at what was once a rather small junkyard, there was almost nothing left; "maybe i overdid it a bit" he laughed as he looked at his surroundings. Seeing that it was almost sunrise he quickly got out of there before he was discovered. When he got home he immediately crashed into bed, completely exhausted from the nights activities.

He was startled awake as he heard banging, "I'm coming I'm coming, sheesh don't break my door down" with a lazy yawn he went to his front door, there he saw Tabo looking as tired as he was. "I've been knocking for the past 5 minutes, what took you so long?" "I've had a long night trying to get this money, what have you been doing?" He let Tabo in as they walked to his kitchen, his house being a moderate one bedroom bungalow, just big enough for one person.

"Bro I've found the perfect place to set up, it's not too far away from the city, it's easily accessible and has been abandoned for the past couple of years as no one wanted it, plus it'll cost us about $320,000 to buy" Tabo let out all the details he found about the property, who the previous owners were and the floor plans for the building with possible modifications. Jack simply sat there staring at his brother from another mother 'this guy should have been a detective, why is he working as a mechanic?'

He was brought out of his musing by Tabo "so how much did you make last night? Is it enough to cover everything we need?" Although he didn't understand the full capabilities of Jack's ability, he knew that it was a chance to get easy money.

"Bro for the amount of work that you did, do you want a 20% cut from the profits?" Tabo stared at Jack before replying "isn't 20% a lot?" hearing this Jack just shook his head "bro with this ability of mine making money is easy, so don't worry about it I'll handle the money"

Throughout the day they met with the owner of the warehouse, he simply wanted to get rid of the property so he didn't mind getting paid in cash and took everything with a happy smile on his face.

With the connections that they had, they were able to hire builders and carpenters to come and refurbish the building, they covered all the walls and windows that were damaged over time. There was a ramp leading up to about 12ft so trucks can tilt their garbage down easier, it was a 2 way system so they could come and go easier. There was also a section where individuals could come in to submit their trash collection, get it weighed and sorted.

All of this took two weeks to complete and during that time Jack hit every junkyard they could find in order to gain more money, Tabo spread the word around the street kids that if any of them were looking for extra cash they should collect as much trash as possible and bring them to the warehouse where they would be paid accordingly to the quantity and what it was, metals costing more.

They also set the rules that they are not allowed to steal in order to prevent crimes from happening. Also during the two weeks Jack family got a new iPhone 7 Plus, got in contact with his friends to tell them that he was alright and also he downloaded all his old games.

However, one thing he didn't notice was the black electrical current that was running through his phone and his hands when he first activate his phone, this happened faster than the eyes can see.

In the warehouse at the bottom of the 12feet ramps and collection points, Jack set up a grid of 12 4X6 black pools, this section of the warehouse would remain inaccessible to anyone apart from him and Tabo. They hired people to direct the trash collection and payment and once everything was set up they began collecting trash, the amount of elements in his inventory had a gradual increase in amount and as more and more people heard about the trash collection, they started joining in.

It's a good thing he found out another aspect of his ability, he was able to take the elements and sell it with the same ability, earning him a lot of capital as the materials were pure, however this was not feasible in the long run because he could sell them for more in the open market and earn double of what he does by selling it to his ability, but for the moment this will do.
