Humanity Or Machines

Purchase

“ Does this android peak your interest Madam?” the salesman asked a short, blonde hair woman before he continued,“ Though she is just a prototype, she can accomplish anything, any other android can do and more”.

The android stared at the woman as she inspected it for any deformities, scratches or dents on the android. When the woman thoroughly searched the android and decided she wanted it, she asked, “ Yes, I would like to have this robot, how much does it cost?”

“ It only costs 100 micro coins” the salesman answered rubbing his hands together.

The woman pulled out her phone, and so did the salesman and touch their phones together before looking at their phones.

“ Transaction completed” the salesman said grinning mischievously at the woman.

“ What would you like to call your android miss?” the salesman asked.

“ Elena and my name is Mrs. Ferndale” Mrs. Ferndale answered a little annoyed.

“Ahh... I apologize Miss Ferndale” The salesman apologized, playing with his fingers.

Mrs. Ferndale ordered Elena to hold her bags before leaving and going back home.

Mrs. Ferndale lived in one of the most dangerous parts of town called Denor which was suspicious for a woman. When women hear how dangerous the place was they would normally leave and go to Samina, a safer place than Denor but not the safest. As Mrs. Ferndale entered the house slowly followed by Elena, Mrs. Ferndale gave Elena instructions.

Elena's house was littered with car parts which was also used to make androids and the tables was filled with drugs. Elena scanned the drugs and found out its name was Sleeping dust. Sleeping was an illegal drug that causes illusion and hallucinations after falling asleep from its taste. It is dangerous because it can cause Domir, which is an eternity sleeping that no one have been able to get out of. Elena began doing her tasks while steady looking at Mrs. Ferndale actions. While doing one of her tasks she heard Mrs. Ferndale yell and looked up to she her trembling as she talks into her phone.

Elena got closer to Mrs. Ferndale and listened to her conversation.

“How is Mina?” Mrs. Ferndale asked in a worried tone.

“ She's alive, one nail won't hurt her” A man answered.

“ Heinz, please don't harm her...... I...... I did what you said I bought the Sleeping dust and it is here right now” She begged.

“ I'm coming" He replied before hanging up.

Mrs. Ferndale turned around to see Elena staring at her and yelled,“ What are you doing? Start working” before leaving and going into the kitchen.

Elena followed her instructions and continued cleaning when she saw a picture frame with a picture in it. The pictures had a man holding a little girl. Elena scanned the picture before turning it around and seeing a message.

It reads‘ To the ones I love and loves me back’.

After reading the message she placed the picture frame how it was and continued cleaning.

SPF

As Mrs. Ferndale awaited Heinz arrival Elena quickly finished cleaning up the place before asking for new instructions.

“ You can relax for now” Mrs. Ferndale said writing down something on a piece of paper.

Elena stood still for she had no house chores to do.

A few minutes later Mrs. Ferndale heard a knock on the door ordered Elena to open it and when she did, she saw three men. One that was holding a little girl, one who seemed to be Heinz and one holding a gun.

"Where's Mrs. Ferndale?" The man holding the gun asked as looked inside.

" She's right this way, follow me" Elena said leading them to the living room where Mrs. Ferndale was sitting down quietly.

"Your drugs are there so give me back my daughter, Heinz" Mrs. Ferndale ordered.

" Fine" Heinz said.

He nodded to the man holding the little girl, and he let go of her. The girl ran to Mrs. Ferndale, hugging her tightly as she said, "Mommy, I missed you"

Elena let out a sigh of relief as she held her daughter in her hands saying, "I missed you too honey"

" It's so sad that you and your daughter is going to die here" Heinz said smirking as he made a gesture to the man holding the gun.

" Heinz this wasn't a part of the deal" Mrs. Ferndale shouted angrily at Heinz.

Heinz replied saying," Of course it wasn't, who would agree if it was?"

"Shoot" Heinz said, and the man clocked his gun, but before he could even shoot the both of them Elena took out a gun and shoot the man with gun right in middle of his head before aiming the gun at Heinz.

The SPF surrounded Heinz and his men and escorted Elena and her daughter out of the

building.

" Andrew Phillips, you are under arrest" Elena said in a monotone emotionless voice.

" How did you..... Oh, I see" Andrew Phillips said.

" So now robots are working in the special police force? What a joke!" Andrew Phillips said angrily.

" Allow me correct you on a mistake you made it's not just an Android, it's a cyborg" Captain Luther said as he walked into the living room.

After a while Andrew and his men was taken away, and Captain Luther said," Great work out there, Agent Angel"

"Thank you sir" Elena answered.

Agent Angel or Angel, is Elena's name that was given to her when she joined the SPF. The SPF (Special Police Force) is a police force made of personnel trained to protect the citizens against things that are too intense for the normal police to handle. In the past Robots and Android were prohibited from joining the Special Police Force because of the recent case dealing with Deviant Androids that escaped their Anmen or anchor (a human who owns a robot or android) but Angel is different from any other android. She is a cyborg, a mix between a human and a robot

Out of it

Captain Luther looked at Andrew being taken away before looking at Angel, one of the most capable personnel he has in his force but also the person he treats like his own daughter. He straighten his body before walking to Angel and resting a hand on her shoulder. She seemed distracted, more than usual as she stare at the toy, Mrs. Ferndale's daughter accident dropped before picking it up and examining it carefully. The toy seemed old, some of stiches was loose and it was missing a limb but besides all that she could hear Mrs. Ferndale's daughter, Liyah, telling her mother that she have to get the toy. Mrs. Ferndale knowing that she can't go back in there, tries to persuade her daughter with another toy but fails as the child wish for her toy back. Angel, who is mostly emotionless, smiled as she picked up the toy and went to Liyah.

She kneelled down infrount of the little girl and gave her the toy saying," You should hold onto her carefully now, after all she has a history of getting lost, doesn't she?"

Liyah looked at the Alice in wonderland doll and smiled happily before nodding and taking back the doll from Angel. Liyah said her thanks before she left with her mother, picking her up and holding her in her arms. Captain Luther or Mr. Luther as some used to call him followed behind Angel and after seeing what she did and said," Agent Angel, that's all for today you can go home"

Angel hadn't realized this but she was tired. She looked down at her hands that was trembling and held it tightly as she responded with," Yes Captain"

Angel went to Silver her partner who was waiting outside, leaned up against his car. He smiled upon seeing her and said," Good work out there, Angel"

" Thanks but I didn't really do much" Angel assured him entering the car.

" So what do you think will happened to Mrs. Ferndale and her daughter?"

" After the police realize she was doing this for her daughter they will probably just give her a small fine"

" What makes you say that? What about all the androids and robots she dismantled and was selling parts?"

" Technically only the selling the android parts was illegal to because it was her robots so it's up to her to decide what to do with them" Angel answered.

Everything became quiet for a few moments before Silver broke it asking," Do you feel anything seeing robots and androids are dismantled?" Silver asked.

Angel quickly responded with, " Silver, I was originally human so what do you think?"

" There are humans who feel bad for androids and robots, Angel and i dont know what you are thinking most of the time" Silver said.

" I'll take that as a compliment"

" Do what you will with it but you haven't answered my question as yet" Silver insisted.

" My answer is I don't know really" Angel stated.

" That is not what I expected from you" Silver said.

" I know" Angel replied.

This reply surprised Silver so much that he glanced at Angel even though he was supposedto be focusing on the road to see her looking out the window deep in thought.

" You know? Are you alright you seem kind of out of it lately" Silver revealed.
