Cut Time turned and looked out the window and thought for a minute. After thinking, he opened a drawer in his desk and pulled out a checkbook he wrote down a few things then ripped it out and handed it to Vinyl. “Cut, I can’t except this,” VInyl said. “Don’t think of it as alone or a gift, think of it as an investment in new talent. I can get her into some gigs, something I think she would enjoy.” Cut Time said. Vinyl sighed. “Thanks, Cut.” Vinyl said. “Don't mention it. Looks like our time is up.” Cut Time said. “Alright see you later.” Vinyl said. With that Vinyl walked out of the building and began on her way home. While walking home she passed a music store. “Well, I am definitely going in there.” Vinyl said. Vinyl walked into the store and was immediately greeted by a man. “Good day, my name is Bass Clef  how can I help you.” Bass Clef said. “I looking to by a cello.” Vinyl said.
