As soon as SJ realized what was about to happen, the lab door slammed open with a stentorian crash.
"DAMN IT, JUNIOR!" an irate cybernetic man with a cornflower-blue robotic eye shouted, holding the little girl's hand, "You are in SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH TROUBLE! You should be ashamed of yourself, making a five-year-old girl cry like that."
The youngster wiped her eyes.
"Especially your own sister! You know how sensitive she is!"
"Spoiled little daddy's girl," SJ muttered.
"I heard that!"
"Whatever, you stupid old bucket of bolts."
The cyborg drove his foot into his son's crotch.
As her brother screamed in anguish, the little girl laughed and clapped her hands.
"And THIS one is for taking my eye!"
"OOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!"
"Yay, Daddy!"
When the screams gave way to crying, the father took his daughter's hand and left the lab.
SJ sat there, sobbing. He kept mouthing the words, "I'm sorry."
Little did he know that another cyborg heard the boy's cries.
