See The World the Exact Same Way ~ Petekey Killjoy AU

Ch.1 ~ Caught in the Act

Mikey hated roaming the city. He always got weird looks and the occasional stare. He hate it. That's all Mikey could say. He had no other way to explain it other than the fact that he simply... hated it.

If his brother wasn't so sick he would never have gone out here. But, there was no medicine out in the zones and he cared about his brother more than anything else in the whole world, and with that said... he should have gotten Frank to do it.

He walked the city, looking up at all the buildings for a pharmacy. One of his worst fears was getting recognized and caught. That's why he took off all the flashy wear and is just wearing a casual t-shirt and skinny jeans.

Still, he kept his gun hidden in his belt strap covered by his size-too-big shirt. He had no trust in any of these random strangers. Any one of them could be a drac, you can't risk it.

He slid into a building that said pharmacy on the sign. He looked around, heading to the front.

"Hello," A bot said.

"Hi," Mikey said, "I'm just here for tylenol."

"Right away, sir," The bot said, disappearing behind the shelves full of medicine.

He waited patiently, digging for the cash Ray gave him.

"Here you go, sir," The bot said and handed Mikey the bottle.

"Thanks," Mikey said, dropping all his money on the counter and turning around.

He glimpsed down at the bottle before noticing the logo smiling up at him. His heart froze before pounding hard. He turned around, the bot smiling at him. He stared at the bot's stuck smile. The bot stared.

"Is there a problem, sir?"

"Um," Mikey looked down at the bottle again. Which is more important? His life or his brother's?

He walked back up to the counter, "There is actually a problem."

"Yes sir?" she said, the robot tilting her head.

"Um - I... This says the wrong dosage," Mikey said, pulling out a pen he keeps with him and writing a different number on the bottle underneath the counter.

"Oh, sorry sir," The bot said, "I'll get a replacement."

Mikey handed the bottle back, looking around before slickly pulling out his gun. His hand shook violently as he pointed it at the bot. He exhaled slowly, trembling as he pulled the trigger. A flash of light radiated into life as it shot directly at the bot's head.

He had no idea what to do after that. So, naturally, he broke the rules. He hopped over the counter and searched for his brother's medicine.

He snatched it and booked it, running out of the building. He didn't realize how much attention he would get until everyone gasped and stared. 

His eyes widened as he looked down at his hands. His left holding the bottle of pills, his right holding his ray gun.

He dropped it quickly.

"S-Stop! It-It's not what it looks like!" He spat out. Only flaw was that was a lie. It was exactly what it looked like. He killed a robot and stole a bottle of pills.

And just as he suspected, undercover drac. It happened so fast. One moment he was surrounded by random bystanders staring at him in utter terror, and the next he was being walked to only the heavens know where. He looked up at the sky. His curfew was sundown. What was the rest of the killjoys going to think? Will they be worried when the leader's brother never returns?

"Hey! Keep walking!" The drac said, pulling Mikey forward by his wrist. Undercover dracs aren't like normal dracs. They don't have the mask or the suit or anything. They look like normal people minding their own business, waiting for something like this to happen. 

Mikey sighed in defeat. He wasn't even going to try to escape, because he knew if he did they would track him down and not only find him, but the rest of his gang with him. And he was not going to be the one to cause the downfall of such an amazing rebellious group.

So he kept his head down, looking down at his empty belt strap wishing he didn't expose himself so soon. Now his gun was long gone, lost in the middle of the sidewalk of whoever bothered to take it after he was dragged away in defeat.
