Casium

Mother

     Your mother's living room has brown carpet and coffee colored walls. A rectangular coffee table sits in the middle of the room and two couches are along the walls of the room. There is a window behind the couch that you and Sasha are sitting on. At the far end of the room there is a doorway that leads to the kitchen. Your mother is sitting in her rocking chair, staring at you, Sasha, Adam, Trixie, and Ajax.

"Booker, explain to me why a popstar and a football player are sitting in my living room." says your mother.

"I may have gotton all of us into a little bit of trouble." says Booker.

"How bad is it on a scale of loan you money to testify for you in court?" asks your mother.

"Leave the country." you reply.

"Oh, Booker! What did you do?" your mother asks.

"Have you watched the news lately?" you ask.

"Yes. Please tell me this has nothing to do with the 126 people that died at the Superbowl." she says.

"Wait, that's all their talking about?" asks Sasha, "The entire Casium Plus system has been turned against us."

"What?" says your mother, getting really serious.

"Sasha and I have been investigating this gang of religous lunatics, The Brotherhood, for the past few months. They created this virus called, Spartan, that turns Casium Plus against us, which is why the robots at the Superbowl went crazy." you say.

"Oh dear..." says your mother.

"Booker Atimari. Sasha Obstinate. Patricia Atimari." says Ajax.

Everyone looks in Ajax's direction. Ajax jabs one finger into your mother's coffee table, slightly chipping the wood. Then Ajax raises both of its hands, gradually spreading them apart, away from the chip in the table that he made.

"Hacked." says Ajax.

"What's Ajax trying to say?" asks Adam.

"Hacked." you say to yourself, "Maybe Ajax is saying that Spartan spreads out as time goes on and does not affect Casium Plus all at once."

"I think you're right." says Trixie, who is looking at her holowatch, "I'm on Twitter and it seems like Spartan isn't affecting that many people yet. There are people talking about rabid robots in L.A. though."

"It's spreading fast. It is already in L.A. and it was just unleashed about an hour ago." says Sasha.

"This is still good though. We can stop this before it spreads to far." you say.

"Affirmative." says Ajax.

"You must stop this virus, Booker." says your mother.

Her voice sounds strange and her face is really pale.

"Mom, are you okay?" you ask.

"There is something you need to know. Your father wanted to tell you, Sibley, and Taylor, but I refused to let him." your mother says.

"What is it?" you ask.

You hear gun shots out side and bullets start flying through the walls and the window. Ajax pushes Adam and Trixie down to the floor and you  and Sasha drop down of the couch. Your mother screams and falls out of her chair. She grabs her side and blood seeps between her fingers.

"Mom!" you yell.

You crawl over towards her and you try to help her.

"Ajax, do something!" screams Sasha.
