He was once again trying to prove his affection for her. She nodded her head. Even if analyzing it was beyond her capabilities, it was nonetheless an ultra rare item that she would be entrusted with. Liam quickly reached for his forehead again. It was still a big strain on him, but it was one he was willing to do. It was for Laura. Once he was done, he asked for her phone. She fished it out of the many layers of aluminum foil she had wrapped it in. Liam then opened up his chest port. This is what all of the gathered Phobia commandos and goons had wanted all this time. The AEP unit took a wire from inside the port and connected it to his phone. It only took 3 seconds before he handed the phone back. She took it wordlessly. "Okay. I've set it so when you call the number in your contacts, it will go directly to me. I will answer right away whenever you call me." he promised Laura. "She did you never open your chest port when I asked you before?" she asked. He said "I didn't want to open it because you were never going to let me go if I did." That was most likely true. She would hack him.
It was clear as day. Both of them knew it. Liam was an Advocate, but he was not at all stupid. Laura would attempt to hack him in order to find information that would put his clan or the coalition in danger. That was if she would not try to kill him outright and develop ways to kill other AEP units via the hack. That was something Liam could not allow. Instead, he tried his best to get her to stop it. Part of that was fucking her well enough that she would go away. Another part was trying to maintain the friendly relationship that had lured him out in the first place. When Liam handed over the AEP organ, the female commando snatched it from her hands. "This has to go to one of our labs." she said, holding it up to the ceiling. That was not acceptable to Liam. He steeped up to her and firmly said "Give it back." The commandos glared at him. This was what they were all waiting for: an excuse to kill him. I just watched. "What the fuck are you going to do about it!?" she challenged. He did not back down. Instead, he let his armor plating cover up his chest and arms. "I will make you give it back to her."
As Liam was my personal asset, I was not going to let this happen. "Liam. Let's not make it harder for Laura. She is a member of their team. Laura will not join your side if you fight them." I said. Liam looked upset at me. "No! I'm doing it for her! She's going to understand." he said. Rolling my eyes, I just looked at the female commando. It was a simple thing about respect. "This is a major asset. Something I'm letting you have because I felt slightly bad that I was swooping in and leaving you guys with nothing. If he wants Laura to have it, let her have it. She deserves to have the first crack at it, at the very least." I chided her. She was being ridiculous for no reason. I did know why she was acting that way. I did not like it. Liam could not stop her when he left the building. She could at least wait until then to confiscate it. She just want to be a dick to Liam. I was not going to let their robophobia cause problems because of something that petty. She rolled her eyes as she handed it back to Laura. "Fine. She'll keep it. For now." she said out loud. Clearly, she was just going to take it away again.
