One Week After the Exile of New Detroit

North's Home

North brushed her hair as her children Allie and Ollie were sleeping still. So far, so good for the week. She got out, made it safely to her second home, and ended up well. Her instincts had been right about leaving when she did too. She got out untagged with no LED, meaning it was even easier to blend in. No one suspected anyone of being an android.

When her phone rang, she answered, still waiting on someone. She sat down her brush as that someone finally called. "Marcus?! Are you okay?"

"Yeah." He sounded weak. "I'm okay, North. I cut through my denial imbalance. I had no choice, I wanted to live. I can't believe I was so foolish. Where are you?"

"Somewhere I love," North said. She kept things vague for anyone calling. "You know. Markus? Are you safe?"

"Safe and safe to be around," he said. "Hearing about New Detroits free and peaceful androids being sent to Russia, or to work 24/7, or even going out here and choosing to survive. I. I can't believe I didn't see this happening."

"It was stupid," North said. "See it or not, it was stupid. We were fine, we didn't cause problems. Humans though, their terrible creatures, Markus. They suspected us, no matter how much we showed we were peaceful. It would happen one day. I was prepared though." She smiled. "We have a little girl too. Her names Allie. She keeps Ollie balanced and she's sweet."

"A little girl? How'd you manage that?" Markus asked.

"I have my ways," North said. "Are you going to find us now?" It wouldn't be difficult for him to remember, if he was really better.

"Soon," Markus said. "I have to find a way there. Androids and planes aren't really matching. Or renting houses or hotels. Bias is everywhere. It's not easy out here, North. I'm glad you got out with Ollie and the new one. I'll find a way to make my way there to you. I promise. You are my strength."

"Just keep it together," North insisted. "It's too dangerous to meet you. You'll have to find a way here. Do you know where it is yet?"

"Yeah, I do. Confirmation was what I wanted, but I know you're scared. Just, wait for me. Keep believing in me. I'll find my way there to you, I promise. No matter what it takes."

Somewhere in Michigan

Kara watched Max and Alice in the truck. It had been nearly one week out there and so far they'd been fine. Once they had full days of mowing lawns ahead of them, things were great moneywise. They slept in a hotel nearly every night, and had a bit extra for clothes from the Salvation Army. Although, things were starting to get harder. Where once they could go to any hotel, some of them had the old fashioned No Androids signs in their windows now. Several laundry places wouldn't let them use their facilities.

Some places were nicer than others, and some people in some places were more willing to help. While others tried to call the police if they didn't leave the property or quit 'harassing the other people on the block for money'.

Kara had even helped with a few chores, but Connor watching Max while he worked outside and her just watching Alice inside wasn't easy. When they switched, it was worse. Max hated staying still, he wasn't a model that could do it too long. It was only worth it for the right degree of money.

Right now though, it was just Connor doing some minor trimming with trimmers. Kara looked back toward the kids. Although tough for Max to sit still, at least a coloring book was trying to help him stay occupied. Alice worked on the same thing. They were cheap, less than a buck, but they worked.
