The deal would be as such - this would be a experimental trial run. I would personally train you in the proper rules and protocols for two weeks before we would both set out together on a test assignment. Should you follow those protocols regardless of the success of the mission, I will take you to see your family for one day.

At that point, we can discuss whether or not we both with to make it a formal working relationship with those details to be ironed out at that time.

I must warn you - the missions I accept are dangerous, and I have lost many an Enforcer and fellow Inspectors on assignment. So this would not come without a degree of risk to your person.
