the Frozen Cube

Chapter four

I finally accepted that my motorcycle is actual a sentient alien robot. I decided to talk to her, because I don't even know her name. "what is your name?" I asked her.

"Allison, but you can call me Alli."

"And you think I can help you convince my government to help you?"

"I'm sure of it. But I guess you need to be able to contact them first. huh?"

I scratched my beard; I did need to shave soon; and I thought about this because I think I know someone who could help with this. "well, we can take to Jeremiah, the guy from the bakery that saved you from the junkyard."

Alli shivered at hearing the word junkyard, "yeah? was he like an exe military member or something?"

"that is exactly correct."

"Now get on and let's roll out." before I could protest, Alli turned back into a motorcycle and pretty soon we were zooming through the streets in downtown traffic. "Slow down!" I said "there are laws about driving for a reason."

"right," Alli slowed down to speed limit, and eventually stopped at a red light. I was happy she had slowed down because there had been a police officer parked around the corner. and I was not ready for another run in with the law so soon after last time.

We made it back to the bakery in one piece, and Jerimiah was just opening up. "you are here early."

"yeah, I came because I need your help. do you still have contact with people in the military?"

"Now, you know I am not supposed to tell anyone that information," he gave me an amused look.

"I'm sure they'd be more than understanding if you told them about this." then I stepped off the motorcycle and told Alli it was ok to transform now, and she did. "Look," I started explaining when I saw Jerimiah's shocked expression, "She needs our help. something dangerous that could bring about the end of the world was left here a long time ago, and metahumans are after it."

he cursed under his breath, "why is it always metahumans? ok, I will see what I can do, but you have to understand I am not supposed to involve innocent civilians in stuff like this, so you might not get to see Alli again."

I nodded, Alli looked a little disappointed but she accepted this fact as well. then I waited outside while Alli accompanied Jerimiah inside, probably in a backroom I'm sure.
