After an hour, Andrew's system begins to turn on. "Frankie!" He sits on the couch, noticing he is back at the base. "How did I get here?"
"We are not going over this again." Andrew turns around, and in front of him is two Frankies.
"What!"
"Andrew, this is Eliza. She saved us from Dr. Peters."
"What happened to him?"
"I do not know if you want to know," Frankie says.
"Just tell me."
"I killed him. I snapped his neck. I cleared out the place of all important tech, and some of his clothes. I made it look like he ran away." Andrew falls back on the couch, and puts his head in his lap.
"How do you feel Andrew?"
"Some part of me, feels despair, because he was the one who gave me life. But, I remember your head on that table, and I wanted to do the same." He looks up at Eliza, and thanks her.
"Where is his body?"
"In the trunk. I will drive far, and get rid of it. Remember, I will be back in 24 hours, and you better ready to take my face off. I will send you my choice, when I have decided, what I want to look like."
Frankie says, "That is fine, but we will not do the face exchange here?" Eliza leaves and gets inside. A.L.I.B.A.
A.L.I.B.A says, "Frankie you should see the news." Then turns on the tv.
We are reporting in San Fernando Valley, where a fire has been started at the home of a criminal fleeing to avoid multiple warrants. I have a source who tells me that criminal is wanted for several federal and international charges. The criminal has been outfitting SOAR brand drones with weaponry, and has been selling them on that black market. We will have more when we return from this break.
Frankie turns off the tv, using her interface. "Andrew you are finally free. What do you want to do?"
"Nothing. I just want to stay here." They look into each other's eyes and smiles.
"I would be happy to have you."
