Mentions of suicide!

After a round of game of life,two rounds of go fish, and four rounds of Uno. Me and Bot were ready to settle down once I grabbed the bean bags and the pillows I was about to close my eyes until I heard my name.

"Fan"

"Yes Bot?"

"Remember when you said you were one of my creators. What happened to the other one."

My heart sank once those words escaped her mouth. My palms were sweaty and I was breathing quickly. I didn't notice I was until Bot pointed it out.

"You're breathing quickly! It's ok just forget what I said it's ok!"

No I have to tell her, hiding the truth would be just.... Cruel! It took me a while to settle down and go get my breathing in control, but once I did I took one big deep breath and started talking.

"The other creator was found, dead. She died not so long ago, this is her lab well mine now I guess and her death was shown to be a suicide. But I don't think so she felt very motivated and happy in her works. And one of them was you."

My eyes stung as I told the story I quickly looked at Bot to see her tearing up a bit.

"WAIT don't cry it's ok!" I tried but she did something I did not expect her to do, she hugged me. My own daughter hugged me. I know it's a simple thing but it felt like the world to me Bot was the world for me. As I hugged her back she muffled a question.

"What was her name?"

I answered with no hesitation.

"Testtube"

*THUD* *THUD*

And with that I woke up from the sudden noise. I quickly turn to my right to see Bot sleeping. So it only woke up me huh. Someone must be inside the lab! I quickly grabbed a ray gun from the emergency shelf and ran outside the door.

Sticking close to the wall and on my tippy toes I sneak through the hallways until I make it to the entrance of the lab. That's until I hear voices.

  "Thanks for taking me to the lab I thought I would never find him."

"Yea, I am worried for him too after what happened so I'm gonna help him and you."

Those voices Paper, Suitcase what are they doing here, as I grab the light switch and turn it on Suitcase and Paper lock eyes with mine. "Hey what are you guys doing here?" I questioned

  "Oh we were just looking for you!" Paper said

  "Really what time is it?"

   "10:00 pm"

   "Also why do you have a ray gun?" Suitcase asked

   "For protection!" I answered

   "Well I'm glad we found you if you want we could walk you back- WHO IS THAT" Paper screamed which caused Suitcase to flinch and me to jump. The person Paper was talking about was Bot who was standing in the hallway a few feet from me.

  "Who are these people Fan?"
Bot squeaked being half awake.

  I didn't expect this to happen

  "Well um Bot this is Suitcase and Paper they are from a reality TV show along with me. Paper and Suitcase this is Bot, my robot child"

  "Woah, she is so cute!" Suitcase screamed Bot couldn't help but flinch at the word 'she' Paper looked at Bot and stepped forward "Hi Bot my name is Paper" he said while sticking out his hand. "Um Bot" Bot replyed shaking Paper's hand, "well I have a game room we can go in if you want to hang out." I said. Suitcase said "Even though it's 10:00pm sure"

  As we walk into the game room Bot invites us to play more games everyone agrees including me. While Paper and Bot set up some games Suitcase comes up to me.

  "I don't think it was a suicide."

  I look at her. I thought it was only me.

  "Me too"

  "I was thinking maybe we could form a group." Suitcase suggested

  "A group?"

  "Yea if that's ok with you."

  "Hmm I'll think about it but thanks" I gave Suitcase a soft smile as she smiled back, yes I don't think it was a suicide but could this potential murder be onto us as well?

  "We're ready!" Bot giggled

  As me and Suitcase walk over to where Paper and Bot are I just realized that they know about Bot! I then  whisper to Paper.

  "Please don't tell anyone"

  Paper looked at me and understood quickly.

  "I won't tell anyone Fan."

  After playing one of the most intense games I've ever played since Suitcase and Bot do get competitive in board games than actual TV reality show games. I looked at everyone how fun this was and looking at Bot how happy she was, I couldn't help but smile. I then realized that, Bot was here because of Testtube, because of me. I won't let her down this time.

  After the game we were watching a movie as Paper and Bot were talking about stuff I move over to Suitcase.

"I'm in, what do we do now"

  She looked at me not knowing at first but then.

  " We find team members"
