1:25 – The next step

It wasn’t long after their trip that their two pets were no longer tiny. Kaya was the first of them that grew into her full size which seemed to make her worried about her now much smaller friend. They would frequently watch her almost guard the much smaller cat, as if she was worried something would happen to it if she didn’t.

“Look, that’s what I was talking about earlier.. that worried look.”

She caught a smile on Liam’s face, something that had been rare since their visit at the grave. They had found someone that would be able to help them with refurbishing and cleaning the graveyard, but still it had seemed the effect on him had been more than she expected.

“Looks kinda like Uno isn’t quite sure how to interpret that look either.”
“No.. I’m almost waiting for him to turn around and swat her over the nose.”

As Lune got bigger as well, it seemed Kaya calmed more down and they went more back to how they had been when they were younger, still chasing each other around the house and cuddling up together to sleep.

“I’m…”

She stopped as she entered the living room after another audition. She knew that he sometimes ran his self check program when she was sleeping, but to come home to this, she had to admit she hadn’t expected.

“I didn’t think you got tired..”

She smiled, trying to move as quietly as she could to avoid waking them all, but as she walked passed his hand took hers.

“How do I move them.. without waking them?”

She couldn’t help but start to laugh, which in turn woke up both pets who both jumped off to welcome her home.

“You’re welcome.”

“You remind me of Rags sometimes Kaya.. always here to listen when I play.”

Her latest role required her to play the piano, so she figured it was best to get in some practice. Specially since Liam had called her and told her he would be late home from work.

“Are you thinking what I am thinking?”
“Probably not Liam, so how about you tell me what you are thinking.”
“It might be a long shot.. but, the androids that we find killed seem to be connected with the missing humans. From just being friends to being in relationships of one type or another.”
“So.. their humans did it, to run away?”
“No.. I don’t think so.”

They looked at eachother for a bit. If it was as Liam thought, then the implications could be grave.

“But who would do such a thing and for what reason?”
“That is the big question.”

They had some more evidence to go through before the end of the day, so he had called Madison to tell her that he would be late. He knew that the house was safe, but if they were right, he would like to install some extra security.

“Good to head home?”
“Yeah, just filing the last bit.”

He noticed how Carl sat himself down on the side of the desk. Something he did if it was something on his mind, that he wanted to talk about.

“Out with it.”
“Oh.. erhm, well.. I was wondering, would you help me make me and Marjorie’s house safe.. I mean, in case we are correct in our assumptions?”
“Of course.”
“Would you like to invite Madison to come over at the same time. Marjorie would love to meet her, as would I.”

He looked up at Carl, he had mentioned them visiting before, but it had just never properly come up.

“I’ll ask her if she wants to, I can’t imagine her saying no.”

He found her standing outside when she was coming home, next to her was what almost seemed to be fur enough for a secound dog.

“I almost thought we had a secound dog there.”
“Oh haha, very funny.”
“She sheds enough to be two dogs though.”
“Yes.. this took us hours!”

Putting his arm around her shoulder, he poked her nose.

“Ey.. what’s that for.”
“You had fur on it.”
“Really?”
“Mhm, and Carl wanted to know if you wanted to visit him and Marjorie, he wanted my help with something in the house.”

He decided not to go into details of what he wanted help with, as he really didn’t want her to worry needlessly.

“I would love too! I wanted to meet both of them.”
“I’ll tell him tomorrow, small warning, Marjorie is a huge fan of yours and your movies.”
“Oh yeah.. you mentioned that.”

She had met fans before, but never been in the home of one. Adding to that that her husband worked with Liam made for what she feared would be a long and akward encounter.

“What?”
“Nothing.”
“Thats not you thinking about nothing.”

He noticed the slight red color to her cheeks as she pulled back again. This time though, he pulled her back close to him. In the back of his head was what he had seen so many times in the romantic movies they watched, and he had long ago understood that she would like more than just kisses.

“Liam.. what..”
“Isn’t this what you would like?”

She would be lying if she said it wasn’t, but there was something off, he was doing just what she dreamed off, but something was off, something wasn’t there. It would seem he noticed the hesitation on her face, and stopped, just looking at her.

“I guess not?”
“It’s not.. wrong, but…”

She wasn’t quite sure how to put her finger on what it was. But there was something that was just missing, a feeling that was always there in her dreams and day dreams.

“But?”

He once again noticed how she seemed to fidget a, and that same red color in her cheeks seemed to come back.

“It’s… well.. hard to explain..”
“Try?”
“I might be wrong, but…”

She sighed, she hated the words that she knew would have to come out of her mouth to explain the feeling. But instead, he finnished the sentence for her.

“It feels as if I lack something?”
“Yeah.. I know you love me, but..”
“I understand.”
“I’m sorry.. I.. “

He stopped her talking with a kiss, and a smile. He understood what she was talking about, or at least he thought he did. He knew that the the androids that had the same reactions to sex as humans had, was those that were designed and programmed for it. A part of him had simply hoped he could do it without, and learn.

“I’m sorry…”
“hmmh?”
“Nothing, you should get some sleep.”

She was mostly asleep already, but she still put her hand on his arm, as if to make sure he wouldn’t leave.

“I love you…”
“I love you too.”

He sighed and started up his self check program, a deeper scan than he would normally do. And.. he would need a rather long talk with two people, there were things he needed to know specially after some case files he had stumbled upon.
