    ... sketchy. Why would anyone pay for a physical before even inviting someone to a hiring fair.
    
    The man didn't seem impressed by their disinterest. "Obviously, the choice is up to you," he said, much more coldly. "But before you make a decision, you should know that the positions we offer including living quarters, are expressly designed to work with your school schedule, and will also include full tuition reimbursement as well as a living stipend. The work, while perhaps unorthodox, pays quite well."
    
    Avi sobered up immediately. It was eerie how the man seemed to know what challenges they'd been facing. If they could get a place to live, their tuition paid for, a schedule that allowed them to stay in school--and a stipend? It would change their life.
    
    "Take the card," the man said, proffering one. "If you are interested, call the number on the back and tell them Jack said to set you up for a physical. Once you get it, I'll be in touch." He slid the card into Avi's hand, then turned around and left abruptly.
    
    "But how will you know how to contact me?" Avi spluttered after him, the card resting in their palm. Jack, if that was actually his name, simply waved his hand, not even deigning to look behind him.
    
    And that was how Avi came to be standing on the baking sidewalk outside the medical office. They had called the number on the card and been sent to a nondescript lab for some random tests: TB, blood draws, STI testing. It seemed odd to include the last category on a ...
    ... pre-work physical, but what did Avi know? Five days after completing those tests, they'd received a call telling them to report to this office for a physical at this date and time. Luckily, it hadn't coincided with any of their classes. Not for the first time, they wondered if this whole thing was an elaborate prank. Who cared, really? They were desperate. This was worth a shot. They could always back out. Avi pushed open the door and entered the waiting room.
    
    The room was nothing like what Avi had expected from the outside. The floor was covered with clean, light grey vinyl plank flooring. The walls were painted a soft mint color, and incredibly comfortable looking couches and a couple armchairs dotted the room. The receptionist sat at a desk near a door in the back of the room, a door which presumably led to the doctor's offices. The whole room smelled of lavender and something else Avi couldn't quite place. An assortment of prepackaged snacks sat on a low buffet cabinet, and there was a mini fridge with fresh fruit and a beverage cooler with assorted drinks on either side. The receptionist looked up. "Avi, right?" she smiled. "We've been expecting you." The woman was tall, nearly Avi's height. She wore an expensive looking sweater and soft knit slacks. Her makeup was flawless. Avi felt out of place immediately.
    
    "Yes, "I'm Avi," they replied. "'I'm here for a...pre-work physical?"
    
    The woman smiled and Avi caught some of the same mystery they'd seen on Jack's face. ...
