After a few moments passed and nothing happened, Jack breathed a sigh of relief. He then planned to head out to his car and drop his shrink ray off in there as a precaution to prevent any future incident, but Amy returned before he had the opportunity. Jack immediately tried to play off his plan by welcoming Amy back. "Welcome back, I hope that the layout of the house was easy for you to navigate," Jack said with a nervous smile. Amy picked up on his changed demeanor, but didn't say a word about it. "Yes, quite. I must say, the more I spend time in here, the more tempting it is to purchase. It fits every minute need I have for buying a house," the Asian woman replied. This was exactly what Jack wanted to hear and they continued onward with the tour.
The continued trip didn't take much longer. Jack revisted a few of the rooms on the bottom floor of the house and showed Amy the intricicies that she would need to know about the house should she purchase it. After these little demonstrations, the tour was over and the two prepared to leave. "Well Jack, I'm impressed. This house is exactly what I'm looking for and you've been a great help in alleviating the pressure of finding the right place for me. I plan to be in touch with your office again to finalize the preparations to purchase," Amy smiled. She stretched out her hand to which Jack replied in kind and they shook. "My pleasure, Amy. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Have a great day!" Amy waved back to Jack as she stepped in her car and left the scene. Jack did a mini fist pump, knowing he just scored a huge compensation for his commission. Now it was onto his second venture of the day. Jack returned to his car and peered into the backseat, finding his next objective sitting there. "Ah, the Fords' gift basket," Jack spoke. "I'm sure they're expecting me soon." The following task Jack was given from the office was to deliver a gift basket to a recent home-purchasing family. They were very well off, having owned several different business chains in the area, and had brought in a huge sale for Jack's place of work. As congratulations and thanks for the purchase, Jack was tasked with delivering said gift basket to the family.
Some fifteen minutes later, Jack arrived at the residence. He noticed three different cars in the driveway as he pulled in. Parking far enough away to not park immediately behind one of the cars, Jack took a look at the notes about the family he was provided from the office. "Ah, a nuclear family. Father, mother, two girls. Says here that the dad's away on a business trip and the mom should be home from her own business venture. Considering it's a weekend, the girls should be home too. Debbie's the mom, 52, Kira's the oldest of the girls at 20, Brittany's the younger of the two at 16. I'm guessing each of them owns their own car, huh. All right, let's do this." Jack got out of his car and grabbed the gift basket from the back. He held it to his side and walked up to the front door of the lavish house. What Jack had failed to take account of was the shrink ray that he hadn't taken out of his pocket. The gift basket was pressed right against the device and any bad bump could easily set it off. And just as Jack reached the door and rang the doorbell, sliding the basket down, he inadvertently bumped the shrink ray. This time, it activated. The few moments of Jack waiting for the door to open soon turned to chaos. He felt a familiar tingly sensation within him and remembered the shrink ray on the spot. "Shit! I forgot to put it away!" Jack muttered. Before he knew it, he shrunk. An odd occurrence, this shrinking was instantaneous and dropped the now tiny Jack into the air. The gift basket fell to the ground with a thud, right below the falling Jack. The now tiny real estate agent thankfully had a somewhat soft place to land, but it might not be the greatest spot to hide. With a thud, he landed right into the gift basket, next to the note from his office for the family and a selection of fine chocolates. A moment later, the door opened.
