Murder Drones: Business is Business

Chapter 9: Release and Rehabilitation

It's been a day since the confrontation now, and J was due to be released. The room remained dark for a few hours, before the sound of a door opening could be clearly heard.

S.D J: "..is that you Uzi-?"

Uzi nodded.

Uzi: "..It is.. yeah." She walked over to J and hesitated, before untying the rope. "..Look, since we don't.. trust you yet, or at least I don't trust you yet, we're gonna have some sort of.. course for you.. To be honest it's pretty useless but N wanted to do it so.."

S.D J: "..Yeah, alright.. that sounds okay.." she nodded.

Uzi: "..Why are you so.. nice all of a sudden?"

S.D J: "..Well I do want to change.. y'know- fit back in.. and all.. it's pretty boring when it's just me, especially after.. I lost.. ne..nevermind.." J shook her head. "..So what's this course really about?"

Uzi: "..N is just going to teach you how to be.. kind.. I guess? Basically.. teaching you to not bully others, especially him."

J groaned, but nodded.

S.D J: "..Fine.. fine.. I guess.."

V walked in.

S.D V: "..Uzi can we hurry things up in here? N's getting impatient.."

Uzi: "..Yeah, alright." She forced J up, and dragged her to another room, plopping her down on a chair, V followed behind her.

S.D V: "..Oookay.. enjooy- Byee!" V and Uzi ran out, slamming the door behind them.

S.D J: "..What was that all abo-"

S.D N: "..Hey there J-!"

S.D J: "..Hello N..-"

S.D N: "..Nope, that's Mr. N to you, I'm your teacher-!"

S.D J: "..Alright.. fine, Mr. N.." She groaned. "I caaan't wait to learrn.."

S.D N: "..That's the spirit- Alright, now let's begin.. So.. first rule to kindness, is to be polite-! Now.. when I come over to shake your hand.. what do you do?"

S.D J: "..Stab it for not meeting your quota..?"

S.D N: "..No silly-! Shake it back.. let's practice." N held out his hand.

J hesitated, and shook it reluctantly.

S.D N: "..C'mon J, firmer than that.. I thought you were a workaholic!"

J grinned, and crushed N's hand while shaking it, she burst out laughing.

S.D J: "..I'm sorry- I'm sorry I had to.."

S.D N: "..Eh- it's fine.. firm enough I suppose..-" He chuckled.

S.D N: "..Alright next.. what you want to do is.." He began explaining.

A hour later, the course ended.

S.D N: "..And that's pretty much it!"

S.D J: "..That was the worst thing I've ever done..-" She sighed. "But.. I suppose I should thank you for helping me.." She gave a soft smile.

S.D N: "..Awh- You're welcome J- But just know, if you ever try and betray us again.. I'll never let you see the light of the moon."

S.D J: "..Whu-"

S.D N: "..Okay- Bye!" He walked out of the room.

S.D J: "..What the actual hell just..- Never mind.."

V walked into the room.

S.D V: "..So how'd it go?"

S.D J: "..I mean.. I understood what he wanted me to do.. but it was boring as hell-"

S.D V: "..He did the same exact thing to me, trust me.. I know." She sighed and shook her head. "..You get used to it."

S.D J: "..I mean I am used to it, we used to work together."

S.D V: "..Well yeah, but.. since you don't have authority over him anymore, you can't really.. tell him to stop, y'know?"

S.D J: "..Fair point.. fair point."

S.D V: "..Well I talked with Uzi, and she said that.. you should be able to talk to the other workers soon.. mainly Lizzy, Thad, Nori and Khan.. then after that you'll be let outside."

S.D J: "..How long is soon?"

S.D V: "..A day or two.."

J nodded.

S.D J: "..Alright.. thanks."

S.D V: "..No problem, see you tomorrow." V walked out, shutting the door behind her.
