Track 8 Two-Sides of the Same Coin

<after spending a few days cleaning up his new apartment and unpacking, he decided to start his day off with running errands to fill his fridge with food so he doesn't starve. And look less pathetic than the fact he can't cook for squat, *flashback to an attempt and left a smoldering pile of black mass that looked inedible & had to be de-pixilated for viewer safety*> "Geez I suck at cooking!"

Murdock sighs thinking 'Geez I dislike the idea of having a boss, but having a legit boss instead of freelancing has its perks. I'm just doing this till I save enough cash to go to the more rural areas of the country.' He sighs walking with his bad of groceries as the school girl he met the other day, she sees him and waves and walks over and says "Hey Mister! Whatcha doing today?" She says as they walked, he sighed hoping no one thinks he's some kinda of creep who hits on school girls or something. She talks to him and tells him about her day at school and her club activities.

She somehow convinced Murdock into walking her home, according to her 'woman's intuition' she's being stalked but lacks the proof; so Murdock reluctantly agrees to walk her home.

<the scene changes to a rather fancy house as Murdock looks in awe and thinks 'damn! I'd be dead a dozen times over before I could even rent a room here.' He thinks to himself feeling slightly depressed about how utterly broke he's pretty much always is.>

The girl knocks on the door and as the door opens it was Madam Plaisir and instead of her typical elegant A-dress she wore what seemed more like office clothes: button up blouse, pencils skirt & heels, with her hair tied into an elegant bun & glasses. She welcomed the girl saying "Aphra! Welcome home how was sch-" she saw Murdock and Murdock just stood there hands in pocket & awkwardly stared and she continued with her conversation with her daughter saying "Aphra please go up stairs for a moment I'd like to speak with this man."

Aphra gave a 'he's not a boyfriend just an old man who she runs into' look, as she went up stairs out of earshot Plaisir faces Murdock and says "So? You saved my daughter, expecting a raise or a bonus?" Murdock thought for a moment and says "Well if you're offering I won't turn down some extra cash. I mean can you really put a price on your daughters life? Because I think I can." He said bluntly to Madam Plaisir, she sighs and says "Too bad I don't pay extortion you barbaric boob."

Murdock shrugs and says "I think I deserve an 'A for Effort' if you ask me at least." He scratched his head, "So you live hear huh? Guess being one of the Leading-Ladies of the Red Light District pays better than expected." She didn't say anything as she seems to be thinking of something and asked directly "Murdock have you received some kind of formal training? From the info I've gathered of your David the Goliath fight, you don't fight like a regular street punk. You show some skill & discipline." Murdock casually says "I won't confirm or deny I received training but that fight was more or less pure luck that he was all muscle no brains."

He yawns lightly, she continues saying "Either way be careful my rival has hired a bodyguard as well. He was hired around the time the murders occurred, he maybe Unsightly Jack. So be careful here's the latest image of him.

<She hands Murdock a photo of the man Murdock May have to fight, the scene shifts to a man sitting in a meditation garden with his feet underneath his body as he looked at a photo of Murdock walking out of the club.>
