You were bored, staring out the window of Detroit into the city. It sure is pretty here. Too bad you lived in the poor side of town next to red ice addicts. Luckily your parents were not. But they came with their own problems.

You looked over the buzzing City lights and the hustling people going to and fro. Then you looked over to a group of protestors abusing an Android and a police officer barely stepping in.

"I understand they're upset, but they should go up to cyberlife if they really have an issue about this kind of thing. After all, this isn't the first time that this kind of thing has happened."

"But what will happen to them? If they're protesting in the streets about this issue does that mean-"

"They'll find another way to get work, even if it means they have to go back into school."

You nodded, you knew what that would intel for them though. Most likely homeless and trying to use what little they have to do something for their favor.

This world has gotten too self-absorbed, it feels like. You pulled out of your backpack from school and pulled out the new book. Going through the news clips of the new football Android that they've created. And then how engineers are reaching out to children of what good topics that are good for future jobs. Luckily you were already set your eyes on engineering as your main job, and work on your other hobbies for secondary jobs.

"Could we get some food while we're out in the city?" you asked.

"Sure, we'll go over to my work beforehand though."

You nodded and watched the pretty city sights and more Androids standing with owners. You sighed, thinking about Rebecca. (If that's your name them make a different name if you want. I just love the name, Rebecca). Wondering how on earth she's doing right now. You turned to see your father's job and you turn over to your father. "Should I..."

"You'll stay in here. Got that?"

You nodded as he walked out. From what you've seen with other families, your parents seemed to be very controlling. Well, every family isn't perfect and is its own monster.

You slide from the news thing again and found out about the struggling situation with Russia. You intensely read the information, hoping to see things lighting up, but it was anything but that. You taught about your sister overseas. 'Please be okay... please...'

"Alright, I'm back," Your father came back and worked his way into the car. You nodded as he started up the car and went over to a good fast food place here.

You and your father ran into a less well-known area with a Truck restaurant with the words, 'Chicken Feed'.

"I'm sorry, we need to get food quick today."

"It's fine, we don't have to get food-"

"No, I'm not up for that plastic's perfect food. And Mom isn't going to be able to be home for dinner, so we're getting this."

You nodded, "Should I come out with you?"

"Sure, you can order what you want. Remember we're not in any position to spend money around."

You nodded and got out of the car. Walking over to the Truck, looking through the menu. "Hello there! What can I do for ya?"

"This is our first time here, what kind of food do you get?"

"I got hamburgers, chicken burgers, vegan burgers, chicken salad. Really anything up there. I've just run out of coffee."

You ordered a burger as well as your father. Then you thanked the sir and walked back over to your car again with your food. Using the napkins to take any hits of a possible mess in the car. "So, it's not far away from here, right?"
