"Um... Sorry I don't understand" said John.
"Ten thousand dollars for a days work. Do you want the money or not?"
"I want the money but your not turning me into that creature!"
"No I won't turn you into that creature. But first. Do you have anyone who will miss you if you don't return home until tomorrow night?"
"Not really. Just my house mates"
"Ring them and let them know you won't be home until 7 pm tomorrow. Ten thousand dollars! Here this is all I have on me" She had rifled through her handbag and gave John a wad of notes "$350. A down payment. I'll give you the rest when we are done"
John accepted the money. Was she for real? $10000 for a days work? "Okay I'll ring my house mates" He did so while the scientist was punching away on her computer and hooking up wires.
"Okay. I've let Ted know. But I wont have to touch that thing or anything will I?"
"No. You shouldn't need to. But it is nothing to be scared about. It's very docile"
"What actually is it?"
"I call it a Wombadillo. It's a hybrid of a wombat and a chimpanzee. Now give me five minutes and I'll be ready"
"Um. Okay I'll clean the next room"
John was still cleaning the next lab when the doc entered "Okay I'm all ready"
"Nearly finished" said John.
'Do you want the money or not?" the doctor looked at him. "Maybe I should use someone else?"
"No I want it" John got the hint. He turned off the vacuum cleaner and followed the doc back to her lab. He admired her backside as she walked in front of him. He guessed she might have a nice figure under that lab coat.
Back in Lab 3B "Okay take a seat on that chair" said the doctor. "Pace your hands on the arms"
John did so then the doctor handcuffed him to the chair. "What the?"
"Ten thousand dollars" said the doctor. "Now keep still. I need to secure you so you don't get hurt" she proceeded to strap his legs to the chair legs.
Last thing he remembered was the doctor pulling out a syringe and piercing his arm.
