Second Chance 3

(Test) You are currently reading the information about your protégé. The project manager warned you about an hour ago and made it clear to you that your protégé is a "special case". "Don't let yourself get down under any circumstances," he said, as if this was all just a little test of your nerves. As you go through the requirements for this "special case," it quickly becomes clear that your protégé is no ordinary case. Rule 1: The protégé is not allowed to leave the apartment alone under any circumstances. Rule 2: Curfew at 10 p.m. - exceptions only by arrangement and under special conditions. Rule 3: The protégé must stay in the immediate vicinity of the supervisor (mentor) every time he goes out, no more than ten meters away. Rule 4: Any contact with old acquaintances and gang members as well as access to telephone and computer are strictly prohibited. One particular rule, Rule 10, immediately catches your eye: Any violation of the rules or law will be "punished" with disciplinary measures by the supervisor or an officer. You feel the weight of the responsibility and wonder why the project manager chose you for this case. On the last page of the file you find a bold warning: "This protégé is classified as a special case for a reason. He may seem quiet, but don't be fooled - always keep an eye on him." You put the file aside and try to get a picture of this man. His file only reveals that he has been in custody several times and has been in custody continuously for the last four years. He would have had to serve at least another four years before he was selected for the 'Second Chance' program. A knock on the door tears you out of your thoughts. Before you can open the door, you hear a sharp voice: "Don't cause any trouble, do you understand?" Then a second, calmer one: "Do us a favor and make sure we don't have to bring you back." As you open the door, you are met with a cold, piercing look. The handcuffs on his wrists are released.
