The night felt fresh, with a blend of fear and uneasiness. I awaken with my sharp pain in my head while i look to to look night sky out my window. It takes a moment for my eyes to adjust to the brightness of all the screens. I try to look down to where the roads are but the height in which my apartment is located, i can not see it. I turn around and I look over to my nightstand to see my holographic projector with 5 notifications. 5 MISSED CALLS FROM BOSS. I walk around my bedroom wondering what i am going to say to him. I pick up my phone and disconnect ti from the projector. Shakily, i dial his number. RING. RING. "Where the hell have you been? Where the fuck is my money?!" The big booming voice says on the other line. " look, i have the money right here." i say rummaging through the pockets of my jeans. I some how find the 500 dollars i owe him. " Meet me tomorrow at Narita main street. I will be at the sushi shop" He says. I hang up and fall to the floor. Breathing heavily, i call for Tara." Tara! Can you get me an outfit." I say looking down at my ripped jeans and blue shirt. Tara is slow this morning for some reason. "Tara?!" I yell out once more. Grabbing for an edge on my desk, i pull myself up. My eyes feel very sore and tired.Sirens are screaming for attention below on the streets. I go into my living room to see Tara sitting on my couch looking out the large window into the dark lights of the world. Some screams from the next apartment can be audible. The chaos can be heard from everywhere if you listen. " Don't be worried about me. Do you know who i am?" Tara says with meaning.
Rick looks surprised. He looks to the android wondering what is wrong. He fully immerses himself into the living room and his blue shirt brightens with the electric lights obscuring inside. Tara's outfit is a white shirt fitting nicely and black jeans close to her realistic fake skin. She gets up and swiftly grabs her jacket knowing she doesn't need one. She runs through the room grabbing her belongings and placing them into her pockets. Rick tries to stop Tara and calm her. Tara his too quick to be caught. She stops. Tara holds out her hand and speaks softly. "i will deliver your money. But promise me, no more drugs." Rick is surprised by what Tara says. Rick did not know that Tara knew about his secrets. Rick just walks over to the couch and lays down wanting his pain and worry to go away. Tara runs out the door and goes down the elevator. Tara goes to the lobby and stands in the middle while people and androids pass by her. She gets out her eyepiece and searches for Ricks dealer's location. The New Narita hotel is where he is located at. Tara runs out the door and goes into the alley next to the building and gets her motorcycle. She looks through her pockets for her keys and finds them.
Tara looks for the building but has trouble to find it. She stops in front of a big statue of a Geisha in a pale red kimono. All the lights were covered by the statue.She looks up to it make her short blonde bobbed hair cut dangle behind her ears. Her electric blue eyes shine in the shade of the statue. She feels her face. Her fake skin on her fingertips rubs against her fake skinned face. She wishes she were like the Geisha. Human. Tara grabs her eyepiece out of her pocket and places it back on. She searches for where the hotel is but can not get a location. It gets quiet and Tara gets suspicious. The voices stop for a moment just for Tara to hear the humming of cars and vehicles. Gunshots start to echo throughout the streets. Tara looks up to the Geisha for a moment and starts to feel different. It was something she had never felt in her time. She enjoyed how she looked exactly like a human and not some sort of animatronic robot skeleton. This made her feel closer to the humans. But she knew from experience that humans have problems as well. Tara just shook the feeling off and got on her motorcycle. She starts up her motorcycle when someone approaches her. She turns around looking at a gun pointed to her head and a bunch of people grabbing her and taking her off into the darkness of an alleyway. Tara struggled and tried yelling for help but no one would hear her. She knew that humans would never save someone. They would kill them
