COLONY

CHAPTER 2: APPROVAL

Human nature is, when you face danger you would try to get away from the danger as soon as possible. Some would try to face against the danger. Some would fall to the danger.

    And here I am, facing against the danger tht I got myself into. After kicking the first boy,he was knocked out and is now laying unconscious on the bus's floor.  I asked Clara to get out of her set so I could have space to fight against the second dude. She immediately stood up from her seat and ran towards the back seats.
 
    The second boy,who is now shocked after seeing me knocking out his friend stood between two seats and is unable to run away(He could climb the seats but he's dumb enough to do so).
"Yo dude just let me go. I did nothing to you man!",he plead.

I glared at him after he said those words.
"I obviously won't let you go unharmed. That android did nothing to you too,"I said as I pointed to Clara.

"You would go that far to hurt a human just for an Android?!"
I became quiet for a moment,looked down,and thought carefully about what I'm about to say next.
"You're nothing like a human."
"WAIT WAIT NO-"

He wasn't able to finish his words after I went in and punched his jaw with a right jab. He went limp and surprisingly sat down gracefully on the seat. Talk about lucky.

I went out from between the seats and headed back to the back seats towards Clara.
I sat across her,facing her.
"Are you okay,Clara?"(Look at me talking to an Android)
She looked at me,her face expressionless as always.
"I'm okay,mister. Thank you for what you did. If something were to happen to me,my master wouldn't be so happy."

"Something would've happened if I hadn't stepped in. Where are you headed to?"
"To the nearest restaurant. I'm guessing you're headed the same way as I am?"

Fuck she's good at reading people,even for an Android. Talk about advanced programming huh.

"Yeah,I'm going to get a takeout. You're doing the same?"

"Of course. My master asked me to. He's not able to walk properly,so I do the shopping and stuff for him."

"Wait,who is your master?" I said,while glancing at the first boy I knocked out.

"He's Mr Warren,78 years old citizen. He has problems with his legs so he just uses an automated wheelchair."

"You must be a good android to do this for him."

"You think so? Also,you seemed to have forgotten about the girl sitting at the front. Wouldn't she tell people about you?"

Thinking for a moment,I immediately realized that I had forgotten about the young girl that got on the bus with us.

'SHIT!',I yelled in my mind.

I stood up and looked at the front. There she was,just looking at us talking.
"Hey uh,are you gonna tell people about this?"

She didn't answer for a moment,probably didn't realize I was talking to her.

"Ah,don't worry. I won't tell anyone. Good job though on helping her."

I nodded and sat back down,just to realize that we've already arrived at a bus stop. I got up immediately while pulling Clara's hand so she would follow me. I wouldn't want the people after us to think that I did something to those boys. The young girl read my mind. She got up with me and headed for the stairs.

     We got out as fast as we could and headed to the restaurant that's just in our range.
"You're going to that restaurant right?",I asked Clara while pointing to the restaurant.
"Yep,that's the one."

The young girl headed to the opposite direction. I don't mind anyways. Now I just want to get my fucking food and get back home. We walked along the sidewalk and there were few people at this time.
It's only around 11 am. Not much people are going on about outside. Usually the streets are packed at around 12. That's when people are the busiest,but right now I can see a few androids doing errands for their owners. Some worker androids are in sight too.
