I open the contract, scanning it. If I saw anything I didn't like, or, more importantly, DIDN'T see the things I wanted to see, I'd be forced to refuse. Depending on how well the fellow took failure, that might mean instant death. Of course, he'd set the Plot Hole to overload in that case, expending it's full quota of energy to lock the man down and hit him hard. It was a last-resort weapon, meant to be used mainly as a threat, but he wouldn't die alone.
