Oh my, looks like you could use some help, hm? You're in luck because I do need something to occupy my time and, my dear, this is rather interesting.

I'm a specialist, Mr. Schmidt. I assure you that you can trust me.

Perhaps I could, espeically if I can utilize a network such as the one you speak of. It is easy enough for me to achieve certain things, but I would be grateful for any help and anyone who gave it would be rewarded.

A specialist of what, exactly? Understand that I am reluctant to trust others with all my plans, in the past such things did not go well. Maybe if you can prove you will not betray me?

Somebody once described me as a consulting criminal... Brilliant, isn't it? People come crying to me, "Dear Jim, please, will you fix it for me?" And, for the right price, it's done.

I rather like what I do.

Yes, that is brilliant. And would you ask any questions other than what you needed to know to help me? For a price, of course.

[He considers for a moment, he could really use this sort of help... Then he sends another text.]

Next month there will be an investigation, and I wish it to be steered away from me and toward someone who could feasibly take the blame for it. I will, of course, be the one who suggests they investigation. I want people's trust, you understand.

Let it be known, Mr. Schmidt, that nobody will touch me. I don't like getting my hands dirty. It's more fun to sit back and watch, don't you think?

[Jim sits for a moment, scrolling through the recent dreams, texts, videos, looking for anything that may catch his eye before returning his attention to Johann Schmidt.]

I want people's trust, too, you know... But it does make things rather amusing when they fear your name.

Sometimes, other times I prefer to be directly involved, espeically when another, certain person is. Some things are too important to avoid staying in the shadows.

Yes, by the time I am have finished, people will be fearful of me, as they were on Earth.

So, what will you do to help me, then?

You must want the attention, then, for that's the only reason somebody like you would choose to sully their own hands in any criminal matter.

Oh, I love it. Count me in! Tell me what you want me to do, Mr. Schmidt, and how you will compensate me.

[A second text message is sent]

Remember, you are consulting me. I want this little game to be on my terms. What will you do to entertain me?

Perhaps I do. I would rather personally hurt my enemies than ask others to do it for me.

I can pay you, but I suspect you would rather be entertained in exchange for making sure none of this is traced back to me.

But you must understand that I cannot give you every detail. Still, what I am going to do will no doubt entertain you. It will happen next month and once it does, you will know it was me. Especially once I have saved everyone and earned their trust.

[He hoped this would be alright, because just trusting people with all his secrets hadn't worked out very well in the past. At all.]

Mr. Schmidt, I do like a fair amount of monetary compensation for my services. Can't look this good for free, you know. Sadly, the entertainment value just won't pay for Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen.

I don't need every detail. Let me sit back and watch things unfold and I'll get back to you, hm? Sounds like a good plan, don't you think?

[He's not exactly sure what Jim is talking about with those clothing brands, but he can guess the other man likes his luxury.]

I will pay you then, my small company has earned me more than enough money.

Yes, I think that is reasonable.

I'll keep in touch, then. Wonderful chatting with you, my dear.
