Tri-City Sock Exchange
This clothing store was built with the money from one single check with really bad handwriting.
A letter meant to go to the Tri-City Stock Exchange at 13579 Florance Street ended up at 13577 Florance Street, a small lot where investment bankers park bicycles for a small fee. The lot is owned by Rodger Jub
The letter contained a check for ￠100,000 Federal Coal. The handwriting on the check was sloppy enough it almost looked like it said 'Sock Exchange' not 'Stock Exchange'. Rodger had an idea. If he were to build an actual sock exchange at the location the check was addressed to, he could cash it legally.
Rodge hired a contractor and put ￠10,000 into building a small sock shack. He hired two nice girls, Estella Onn and Rumi Nant, and an alpaca named Marshmallow to work the store. Once it looked like a real store he headed over to Corpo Bank, and legally cashed the check.
As soon as he paid off the ￠10,000 for the store he took the remaining ￠90,000 and disapeared, afraid someone would come after him for the money. Nobody has heard from him since.
The two girls and the alpaca have been working the Sock Exchange for the past 8 months and making a pretty big profit. Corpos wearing colorful socks are now a popular thing to see in Tri-City's financial district.
Tri-City Sock Exchange also has a small selection of soft animal toys, hair accessories, headbands, and underwear. These are mostly on a short run, limited supply basis. You can also purchase alpaca wool here if you want to make your own socks or clothing, it is of the softest quality and already dyed in the bright colors the Sock Exchange is known for.
They were hired by a man named Rodger Jub 8 months ago to run this store. They have been coming into work every day and doing the job, but have not seen him since opening day. They have taken their pay out of the money earned, but the total profits are piling up and they can barely close the safe because of the amount of cash.
They want Cal to help them find Rodger Jub so they can figure out what to do with the ￠35,000 the store has earned.
Kaylee and Cal can then investigate where the money came from, find out about the mistake check, look for Rodger, and help the girls decide what to do with the money.
The three main options are:
