Money had been tight for some time now and at 35 Jamie felt helpless in fending off the bill collectors calling each day. Her husband Tom had lost a good job some time back and was now skimming along on a mediocre wage with a smaller company.
It was Monday, the day after another weekend of no nights out, no dinner at any fancy restaurants just endless Television, God how she hated Television now more than ever.
Jamie had made a decision this Monday morning that things had to change.
They had been married for 10 years and had decided to have kids when the time was right and not before. She thought to herself they may never have kids if things didn’t change.
This Monday morning Jamie looked through the employment ads only to find jobs requiring years of school or experience. With a sigh she scanned the other pages only to find the employment opportunity section and quietly mouthed, HMM.
Looking through them she came upon an ad for women from the ages of 18 to 35 to participate in a study at an alternative medicine clinic in a town not to far from where they lived.
The ad had a 1 800 number to call and she did just that as curiosity was filling her head.
A woman answered and began to ask her questions pertaining to her height, weight measurements etc. The woman seamed to be pleased with her small frame size and girlish looks.
The woman gave Jamie a date and an address to come by and interview and the conversation was over. Jamie felt as though for the first time in a long time she had been given a chance to make a difference in their financial state and the next few days were filled with much more prospect then the days before. On the morning of the interview Jamie waited until her husband had left for work and darted to the shower to start to get ready. Wanting to be at her best she fixed her self up better than she had perhaps sense her first date, making sure every thing was in its place. At 35 she still looked good, 5-5 and 120 lbs. With 36c breasts, still perky and full of life. Her raven hair was her real attribute, it made men wild when mixed with the rest of the package and she knew it and in the back of her mind she hoped it would help this time. Jamie drove to the city and parked at the address taking note of the small clinics structure being that of a house that had been in some way converted and in others still looked lived in.
As she walked up the steps to the house there was a small sign next to the door saying, capital ventures inc. She knocked and a woman near her age dressed very nicely walked to the door and turned several bolts and greeted her inside.
The woman introduced herself as Margie and asked her to sit in a chair next to the large wood desk. The woman asked many questions one of which was if she would be interested in a better paying position in a program involving studies of a sexual nature.
Jamie paused for a minute in surprise but had to ask the million-dollar question, How much more are we talking about here?
The woman smiled and brought out a piece of paper and floored Jamie with the prices that followed. 3,000 dollars per 5 hour shift, 6,000 dollars per 9 hour shift, 12,000 dollars per 24 hour shift. The woman stated that the procedures were highly sexual in nature and she would need to sign a contract prior with a witness present, of course the woman smiled and said, Liability, you know.
Jamie had heard of such things before from college friends and knew they were quite bizarre to put it mildly, but god would that money come in handy now or what.
The woman sensed her mental struggle and put the paper away stating, you know it’s not for every one Mrs. Staford.
Jamie quickly jumped to attention and stated, I’ll do it!
Are you sure the woman replied?
Yes, I am when can I start, well we need to know which program you will be interested in first, then you will need to meet with the specialist for a few minutes, it’s up to you.
Jamie asked if she could meet now so we could get started sooner, as she had spent a lot of money in those few minutes just in her head.
OK the secretary said, I’ll be just a minute and walked into the other room.
In the other room a man sat in front of a large screen watching a silent display of a young woman’s face, she was staring at the camera, eyes wide, mouth filled with some kind of gag.
Margie stopped in silence to watch a few minutes as the man turned and asked, what do we have.
Margie popped up still staring at the screen, we have a woman, married, 35 good body, no kids and needs money.
Do you think we have a live one, I’m not sure but it appears we may.
OK send her in, give me a few minutes to get ready and straiten this place up first.
Margie walked back to the main room and told Jamie it would be a few minutes.
Jamie stirred in her seat wishing on one hand she had reconsidered but on the other a little excitement and money in her life wouldn’t be all that bad.
A few minutes passed and Margie asked her to go on in.
The man asked that she sit and handed her a contract asking that she read it carefully. Jamie asked if she could be told more specific of what she would be doing and the man replied, if I were to tell all then the study data would be unusable.
