Crunk didn’t recognise the number.
“Hello there, we would normally contact your agent, but Mr. Nusk got your number directly from Jay Cue at a party last weekend...”
Mr Nusk? Elom Nusk, the eccentric multi-billionaire famous for electric cars, tweeting too much while high and firing shit into space for no real reason. Of course he would be partying with Jay Cue. Even Tayshawn Crunk knew who Nusk was, so he listened to the pitch.
Ugh. Something about computers. Crunk didn’t know much about internet security or antivirus software, but he was assured it was a pretty big deal. It was slowly explained that Nusk’s company had developed something that would make cyber crime a thing of the past, like having an unbreakable computer lock that no hacker or virus could ever break.
Every device in the world seemed ambitious as a sales target - but Nusk was probably insane enough to do it, and as they were calling it Lockdown, they wanted a cornerback as the face of the advertising campaign in North America, the largest part of which would be playing the lead role in a feature length movie. Crunk didn’t fully understand product placement, but he smelled a large stack of dollar bills, how could he possibly refuse an endorsement job of this size? He’d always wanted to be in a Hollywood movie, like his favourite actor, Steven Seagal.
“...that’s wonderful, we look forward to working with you. Can you give me the number of your agent please, Mr. Scarlett?”
Crunk hung up. Damn Cue.
