You want to say no but are silent again

You are rather taken aback by Jerry's bluntness. John was right in this new world people don't act like you would have expected them to before. When you do manage to compose yourself again you find you are still unable to voice your answer. You have been passive ever since you awoke from your coma. Maybe you are still too weak and need more time to recover.

Jerry continues to have a slight smile as his friendly demeanor continues through your silence though he can see the discomfort on your face. "Well aren't you a shy one? Surprising since I heard you spread your legs for Harry when you first met." Jerry's description of that event does not match reality however you do not correct him as you still find yourself stuck in silent mode.

"Tell you what since you don't seem to be keen on the brothel, among the non-citizens Arlene & Ralph have been here the longest. I give them a list of jobs that need doing and they assign tasks to the other non-citizens and I can tell them to start assigning tasks to you too. Those of you who do a lot of work around the camp always manage to get the votes you need in the weekly meetings and if you do exceptional work you'll find yourself voted into citizenship."

Jerry sits forward in his chair resting his elbows on his desk before continuing. "Of course these tasks are the ones that we citizens don't want to do. Dealing with the sewerage, scrubbing the floors, carrying heavy equipment to where it is needed, stuff like that. My assessment of you so far is that you don't have what it takes to do the hard work on these kinds of tasks."

"Please I can d-" You finally manage to speak but it is cut short as Jerry raises a hand from his desk to tell you he wasn't done talking.

"Of course you are going to want a shot at it, this is your way in to stay here. So before I waste Arlene & Ralph's time I'm going to want some proof you will do a hard task you might find repulsive. We are coming to the end of the day now and I don't really have anything that needs doing around the camp though." You see Jerry hum to himself as he thinks about what test he can set you. "I know, I'll believe in you not being a waste of time for us and get them to assign you jobs if you come over here and suck my cock."
