Robotic Vampires 16

The Forth night before Murphy was thrown out

Dr. Murphy had already sent a message to Ria telling her to meet in the hallway, "ok, this is midnight, what's happening," Ria walked unto him on her skivvies from the staircase

"I'm being pessimistic about Norman's next move,"

"What? He won't hurt you, he has no reason to,"

"Yes he does," Shawn says, "I've found out too many,"

"Like what else have you found out,"

"You didn't hear, I've found a way to kill the vampires,"

"Oh, the rumors are true,"

"What? Do you think it's a lie,"

"Alright, enough of this shit, go and sleep," Ria says,

"I'm having second thoughts on…"

"What are you having second thoughts on,"

"I want to wear the Quicitine blood and become a robot,"

"You're sick like very much upstairs,"

"I'm doing it, but I need you to do something for me,"

"Firstly you're not turning to any fuckin robots," Ria demonstrated with her hands, "not to talk of having any favor from me,"

"I want you to be my second half brain,"

"What? Repeat what you said again,"

"You heard me"

"No, I'm not doing any of that,"

"You won't help me," Murphy says,

"I'm Norman's wife, sleeping on the same bed with him, what if he notices,"

"You and I know that's not true, he doesn't sleep, just like all other robots,"

"And the part where I'll be dead if he notices. How will you solve that,"

"To start with you can't die, secondly he won't hurt you because coz you're important to the course,"

"Now you sound like Norman,"

"Please, help me or you'll lose me,"

"I can't,"

"Yes, you can,"

Ria stays and loses her thoughts for a while, "can I be human again,"

"There's no possibility and I'll have to change your hearts and brains to give you electronic ones,"

"Do it," Ria said,

"Thought you'll confine with Easton,"

"I helped a friend in need," Ria said

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Present day

Ria walked into the technology and snubbed Norman sitting in his usual bench face stuck on his robotic attire, "you won't do that forever would you,"

"I don't care how long it would take but I won't be your wife anymore,"

"You knew I had to take him out, he was a parasite and began to know more than he ought to,"

"You killed an innocent boy because what you knew with electronics he knew without electronics,"

"Watch your tongue. I'm the king of this palace and you don't want to be my slave,"

"You're no King, and if by mistake you had a kingdom. It will soon be taken away from you,"

"If you're hoping Easton and his new fellows can get things done, then you haven't learned anything from yesterday's lectures,"

"Wow, you kill someone and call it lectures," Ria said,

"Easton can try all he wants but one can kill me, or should attempt to try,"

"Yeah, probably because you're already a dead man," Ria laughed, "no one wants a dead man. Not even your son,"

"Don't you dare talk about him at all,"

"Funny how you keep hiding him from the outside world, his mother doesn't know, does she?"

"Shut up and get back to work,"

"You called me remember,"

"Get back to work,"

"You told me to find out who had half your brains…"

"Don't, I said, don't,"

"He looks like you in everything, from the hair to the assent, body shape, everything, and smartness. I won't lie he's damn smart," Ria said, "but one thing is missing," she taps her head, "oh, he's breath, 3 s-e-c-o-n-d-s," she drags the seconds,

"You're so clever," Norman says, but one thing with Clever people like you they don't like long enough to enjoy their cleverness,"

"Aye I'll live long," Ria said, "I'm important to the course remember, my blood is imperative for yours to survive, or was Murphy wrong,"

"He knew a lot already,"

"Yeah, almost forgot I saw my blood in two or three bags in the infirmary,"

"You're very good at telling stories Ria, let me tell mine," Norman said, "your friend Kayden, she has refused to choose how her child would spend the rest of his life,"

"Why should I care?"

Norman said, "you like babies, worked in the motherless home Brooklyn, forgotten. I'll help her with the choice, once she delivers I'll take her out of heaven and drop her on the earth," He scratches his chin, "I don't know will he survive,"

Ria stood for a while then showed an outrage, trying to fight Norman, "you're so pathetic," she tried jumping on him. Two Robots standing around run and holds her to her room, "I will kill you," she shouts

"No you won't," Norman yells

Flynn and Holland wait in the off-limit room for an emergency meeting involving top priorities. Everyone moves in within seconds dropping their phones and other electronic devices inside the white basket hanging at the entrance, "be seated please," Flynn says "we've invited one CIA agent to join us for this meeting and a professional doctor - Dr. Howe,"

"Thanks for inviting me," Howe says,

"We won't be spending much time going through the primaries of the discussion, we understand that it's imperative what is being discussed in this room dues here until the day Norman faces his verdict,"

"Until the day he dies," the leader of Delta Force says,

Holland steps out of his seat in the Middle of an elongated table "about that, Ray said something and we've confirmed with Mr. Howe here," He says, "you hurt him the robots go rogue for thirty minutes. You Kill him, all robots run mad. It's a risk we won't be taking,"

"What are you saying? We'll leave him to walk freely as if nothing happened," Director Delta says,

"Our main objectives are very straightforward, take our guys out of there and safe as many lives as possible,"

"Very well Capt." Director Delta says, "what does Howe here have to stay,"

Howe an Hispanic young man with lens stuck between his eyes walks from one corner of the room, "alright, I examined Norman's brain and his heart,"

"What do you find, Doc, tell us," Flynn says,

"It turns out he uses a totally different brain and heart,"

"What do you mean?" The CIA agent asked,

"Not flesh, electronic, both tissues are replaced with electronic devices capable of a variety of storage,"

"This blockchain story do you confirm it,"

"Yes, I'm afraid what Easton said is true,"

"Alright, we'll keep a close eye on Norman to try figuring out more," the Doc said,

"About his ghost partner, can you connect their brains," Holland said,

The Doc shook his head, left and right, "no,"

Direction Delta Force adjust on his seat, "I overheard the United States President has both of her hands stuck in this,"

The CIA agent stood up immediately and said, "the CIA is fully on that claim, until the coke up with any evidence concerning that we won't discuss it,"

"Capt." Director Delta calls Holland, "You and I know this situation is going to take some depth military footwork to save the situation," he said, "why aren't we allowed to shoot on sight,"

"Sir…" Holland tries to speak,

"Don't…" He raises his hand, "I won't be hiding any more word from you,"

Everyone was caught in a freezing moment until Officer slammed the table, "we will be calling such meetings like this frequently. We know our different work to do, let's put in the best and get this Norman guy back to where he returns,"

Everyone rolled out of the table on their seats and left the room, leaving Flynn and Holland "let's get to work," Flynn tells Holland.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Easton walks down the hallway to his bedroom after work on a Monday when he heard a voice from behind, "hey man, you're called,"

He turned and everywhere was suspicious to him except a room where the door was kept open. He walked slowly and into the room stretched his face and found no one, "hello," he says, "anyone here,"

He steps his right leg on the entrance and then decides to go whole body, "what's happening? Who called me?" He kept the pace until he finally entered, and within seconds Rob and the rest of the guys ran out from different hiding places, closed the door, and within seconds he was placed on the floor, face down, hands tied, "Rob, what are you doing?"

"Keep shut," Ron said,

"I thought we were a team. We are together, you know what I mean," Easton said, "you know what I mean? Me and you together,"

"The next word you say would be your last," Rob said,

"Just do what he says?" Light voice Ray says,

"Woo, Ray you're here, untie now,"

"Not just Ray, me too," the boss said,

"Ohh, this was planned," Easton smiled, "you know what guys? I got lank work to do with our escape plan. Each time I spend here is energy wasted,"

"That's enough? Get him up," the boss said,

Rob untied his two hands from behind and made him stand, "get up, man,"

"Ok, after this what?" E said, "because I'll be pissed to get nothing after the strangle and waste of time,"

Rob strangled an old condemned box stuck behind the lots of dump stuff on the left flank, "ok, what are you guys doing?" E said,

"We want to show you something," the boss said,

"I don't like the sound of that show you something,"

"I know everything about you guys. You're SEALS that got busted there years ago," E seethed, "what else do you want me to know?"

"We want you to know we can trust you now,"

"Alright, thank you for making me know I didn't," E said, "can I go now," he tries moving towards the door,"

Silent Smith talks, "you would want to see this,"

"Someone has finally spoken, but it's of no use," Easton walks and turns the handle of the door nearly to open it but later paused after he heard the thunderous jerk sound of a rifle, "what's that?" E closes the door in seconds and turns to Rob,

"We are SEALS," the boss said, "since the last strike on our men last year, we dedicated the past few months in the production of our rifles. Not properly the nest you've seen but it's something, and I think it's going to be helpful when the great war breaks out,"

E slowly takes the rifle, not well formed but horizontally placed on Rob's two hands, "slowly," he takes a deep breath, "it's been a while,"

"Can't comprehend how hard, but again we can trust you," the boss said, "all of us," he tunes left and looks at Smith, "everyone," Smith nods,

E throws the rifle up and looks everyone in the eye, "thank you, for the honor," he looks the second time, "all of you,"

"We got you, bro," Smith says.

"How many of this do you got," E asked Rob,

"Five with 30 bullets each," Rob bends his neck, "we actually added James in the plan,"

"Well, I'm here now,"

"Rob, take that back, let's get the hell out of here,"

They all moved out and walked to their respective rooms, "real work starts tomorrow," the boss said, "we'll be servicing the generators for three days intervals,"

"Aye, boss," E said,

Easton and the other guys had gone to their respective rooms when E heard a knock on his door twice, "who's that?" E walked closer to the door and opened it.

The supply guy Mike, his attitude, dark yellow face - wrinkled and dry, was normal compared to the last time they met, "Hey mama boy," he walks in,

"What are you doing here? Thought you were the boss,"

"I want in,"

"You're no assets anymore, I got what I wanted, and…we can't use you,"

Mike chuckled, "who said anything about you accepting to do business? If you don't let me in, I'll let Norman in. And aye no one wants to be thrown off the window like pretty Murphy,"

"You've been watching us the whole time,"

"I'm I in or is Norman in, cuz one of us would surely join the pack,"

"You'll regret it,"

"Let me learn my lessons,"
