Even with his wiggling, he was too injured to actually break free. "Why do I feel like you will attack me again as soon as I set you on solid ground!?" I asked him. He just went quiet. The silence spoke volumes. "I am taking you to get a check up at the library." I told him. Thankfully, he stopped fighting me. On the way there, I was stopped by some different Phobia members. They insulted me and asked what I was doing. I just backed down and let them talk shit as I left the group. A couple of blocks later, I was stopped by an android from the government. He showed me his credentials as an agent of the state and wanted to know where I was going. I just looked at him and said "We are just hanging around the town. What's wrong with that." He said nothing. When he walked away, I decided to take a detour on the way to the library. It was a bit risky. Like I thought, another android agent approached. "You guys look pretty suspicious." he said. "Nothing even close is going on." I said. "Why is this person on your shoulder!?" he asked. "We are playing a game." I answered it. The agent frowned.
Seeing that it was Uno Dwan, I smiled and said "Hello Uno. I hope you're doing okay after that explosion." Feeling adventurous, I said "Have you seen any PEP units around!? I hear they are all around us in town." The android adopted a more open stance. "Do you have a report to make, citizen?" he asked. I fed him some juicy false information. He nodded and listened to every word. "Do not worry about it. We will keep the streets safe from the PEP cyborgs. We are here to protect all humans from criminals and the evil PEP units lurking among you." The android in front of me smiled warmly. The cyborg on my shoulders was fuming though. "Well, if I ever see a nasty PEP attacking or raping someone out on the street, I'll be sure to report it." I turned to leave when the android got in front of me. "Do you want to report something, citizen?" he asked with a smile. "Hmm, no?" I said in confusion. "There seems to be a PEP unit on your shoulders." We had already been through this exact same song and dance. "Why would you joke around like that!? I have known Christopher for years."
Just like last time, I was caught totally red handed. The PEP unit just nodded. The android shook his head with a big smile. "There was a recent police report of someone matching that PEP unit's description chasing after a young girl. There was also a report of street fight. The description of the combatants match both your descriptions perfectly." he said. My good Samaritan act backfired on me here. That really sucked for me right now, all things considered. "Well, this is it. I've sustained too much damage to fight. I'll initiate my self-destruct sequences now. If I take you both out, even better." the PEP unit said. Getting blown up was not something I wanted to do. I dropped the PEP unit to the ground and was ready to run when the android picked me up and carried me princess style. There was an explosion that made my vision go all white for a moment. I was in rough shape because I had not healed any of the damage from the brawl. Uno was fucked up again. "Geez. You have to be more careful next time. You didn't have to do that for me." I sighed. "Even criminals need protection."
