Chapter 4
I drove my bike home and Max and I walked into her apartment. I figured that I'd move in tomorrow than at three 'o clock in the morning.
"You can take a shower first." I told Max as we walked in.
She strolled into the bathroom and I heard the shower start.
"So, where've you two been all night?" Original Cindy asked rubbing her eyes as she walked from her bedroom.
"Working." I told her as I sat down on the couch.
"Where's Boo?" She asked.
"In the shower." I said as I yawned.
Original Cindy started up some coffee and it finished just as Max walked out.
"You might want to wait awhile, I think I used all our hot water."
"That's all right, where are the towels?" I asked as I walked in.
"In the closet, top door on the right." She said.
"Thanks." I said as I shut the door.
I got out a towel and set it next to the sink. I started the shower and got undressed. I got in the shower.
"She was right, there is no warm water left." I said when the cold water hit my body. I put some shampoo in my hand and washed my hair. I did a quick scrub down and then I shut the water off. I reached out for the towel and grabbed it. I toweled off and put my clothes back on. I stepped out of the bathroom as I was toweling my hair.
"Where do you want me to put this?" I asked Max.
"In the hamper just inside the door."
I threw the towel inside the hamper and combed my hair down with my fingers.
"Any coffee left?" I asked.
"A little." Max said handing me a mug.
I sipped at it.
"Real."
"Yeah, one of my friends is really big on the real coffee."
"I'll have to meet her."
We sat for a while talking about being free, and then Manticore and a little small talk.
"Where do you want to sleep?" She asked me.
"On the couch is fine."
"Whatever." Suddenly she started going into seizures.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"I'm having a seizures, there is some Tryptophan in the medicine cabinet."
I ran to the bathroom and flung open the medicine cabinet.
"Tryptophan, tryptophan, tryptophan!" I said holding up the bottle.
I ran back to max and gave her the bottle. She poured some pills into her hand and swallowed them.
"Now, what's going on." I said as she started to shake less and less.
"It's a glitch in our programming, most of us go into seizures every once in a while, I'm not sure why. But tryptophan helps to stop the seizures."
"Oh, doesn't happen to us, must be something with the entire cat DNA thing."
"Must be."
"Well, I'm gonna hit the sack." She said walking towards her room.
"Night."
"Yeah."
I laid down on the couch and fell asleep.
