"How about it?" Clara asked again.

Franklin shook his head, not refusing but rather confused. "How can I work if I don't know what to do?"

Clara walked over to a room that was always kept tightly locked. Shortly after, she returned carrying an item that Franklin knew was a bundle of tea.

"Take this." Clara handed the item to Franklin.

Hesitantly, the man took it. For a moment, nothing seemed strange about the bundle of green tea. Yet, this was where Franklin's life took a disastrous turn.
