After the forklift had checked her work-sheet. He told her that she got an A+ on her test. Then he congratulated her and he sent her back to her room with Surge. Skytear liked him. But she couldn't completely trust him. She couldn't help thinking that maybe he's a spy or a pyscopath. She wanted to speak to him more. But he told her to play along with the organization and it's systemtic schedules for now. Later, the door was opened and a young man was pushed into the room." You can keep this girl company." Said a mean-spirited jeep." So, she doesn't go crazy in there. hahahahahah." The door was slammed young man got onto his feet and walks to the bunk-bed that was across from Skytear's."Frecking dastards."he swore as he sat down on the lower bunk. He looks down at the floor as if he was upset about something. "are you alright?"Skytear asked him.
"yeah."He replied solenmly.
Skytear can tell that the young man was the same age as her.
"What's your name?"she asked him.
"My name is Maverick Robertson. what's yours?"
"My name is Skytear. I was kidnapped from my home in Propwash Junction. where are you from?"
"I"m from Florida. I was on vacation with my fiancee. Until those fifthy machines took me away from her. I hope that she hasn't given up on me. Do you have any love-interests waiting for you at home?"
No, but i do have some friends and my family .who are worried about me." " That is nice to do you think they're going to do us, disabled humans?"
Skytear shrugged." I don't know. all, i know is that these machines let us play sports and participate in activites. They'd even gave me tests on my hearing, eye-sight and memory." "They tested your hearing, eye-sight and memory?"
Skytear nodded. "did they gave anyone else these tests?""No, not that i know of."
" why would they test your memory and two of your senses?"."Maybe they want to cure me of my of the forklifts explained me that they're looking for a cure for autism and they want to enable handicap humans. But one jeep told me that they wanted to use me for something. His name is Surge."
"Surge?who is Surge?"" Skytear shrugged."I don't know who he he seems to want to help me."Maverick was bewildered by Skytear's explaination.
" Do you think he's on your side or he is just lying to you to earn your trust?"Skytear pondered about Surge and his strange behavior."to be honest, i don't know if he's on my side or you think they actually want to cure us?"" these metallic scam treat us like trash." Before they could say anything else. A jeep came into the room and barked at them to go to obedied.
The jeep turned the lights off and closed the door behind him.
Maverick got out of his bed and went to Skytear's sits up-right on her bed.
"I think that these machines are up to something. " Whispered Maverick."yeah."agreed Skytear." If they wanted to cure didn't have to abduct us or treat us like dirt."
"you're right. They obiviously have an agenda. What do you think it is?"
Skytear thinks about an answer to Maverick's question."maybe they want to sent us to work in warfare factories like slaves or they want to recruit us as human soldiers."
"or maybe they want to brainwash us into doing their bidding. by the way, what kind of disability do you have?"
"I have Autism Specturm disorder. What is your disability?"
"I have the same disorder as you."
" your parents aware of your disorder?"
" aren't. They don't even want wanted a they got a son instead. So, they just ignore me and try to get rid of me by sending me to school or to the park."
"My perants never mistreated me and they didn't pamper me were aware that i had a disorder and they, also taught me to go beyond what my disability limits me."
"Wow, cool. I wish my parents were like that. My parents never taught me anything except chores."Maverick yawned."I'm getting tired. aren't you?"
"yeah."
"Do you think machines have dreams when they sleep?"
"No. But i do know that not all machines are bad. I also think that Surge is telling me the truth about these hostile machines."
Maverick nodded in agreement.
"I think you're right. He is problaby telling you the truth. Anyway, i'm going to -night Skytear."
" . see you tomorrow."
Maverick went back to his bed and Skytear lays down on both fill into a deep sleep.

Chug stared out the window inside his house. He'd been hoping that the police might find they didn' had been three weeks since Skytear's disappearce and Sparky's had been buried in the Propwash Junction Cemetery next to his decreased wife. His possessions were removed from his house and auctioned to some unique collecters, including his gun which was sold to a machine hunter. His house was sold to a car who was lazy as a cat and he treated it like a garage can. Noone knew nor understand why Sparky had commited didn't suffer from depression or any other had no enemies or rivals. The police theorized that he had done awefull things in his youth or he grew sick of life. The police did a very poor job of searching for did not even ask the town residents if they've seen her or heard of her. The townspeople were also not concerned or upset about Skytear's disappearce. This behavior angered Chug and he cursed them for their foolishness. His friends , Dusty, Dottie and Skipper became concerned about him and his tried to reassure him about Skytear and her welfare. But he dismissed their reassurence and continued to hope for Skytear's return." He's been staring out the window for three since the police started looking for Skytear."said Dottie." He misses her so much."pointed out Dusty."And the police airen't helping us or him."
"we have got to do something about this situation or Chug will go crazy if he goes on like this."
"Then, how do you suppose we do that?"Asked Skipper, sipping oil from his cup.
"well, since the police are not doing anything about it. We will find Skytear ourselves."
"WHAT?!"exclaimed Dusty.
Skipper almost choked on his oil.
"Have you lost your mind, Dottie? We can't find Skytear are sick perverts out there."
Skipper swallowed his oil.
"Yeah, they go after pretty female forklifts like you,Dottie."
"But we can't leave Chug like this. He is our friend and he needs our help."
Dusty and Skipper thought about Dottie's plight for a minuate.
"You're right, Dottie."Said Dusty, finally.
"What kind of friends are we. If we leave Chug in this condition."
"I agree."Said Skipper.
" we have to find some clues that will lead us to Skytear's whereabouts."
"Where would that be?"
"at Skytear's house, of course."
"But what about Chug? I should i ask him if he wants to help us?"
"yes."
Dusty went to Chug."Hey, Chug."
"Hey."Said Chug grimily.
"Want to help us?"
"With what?"Asked Chug "To find Skytear."
Chug beamed with more expression changed from miesery to happiness.
"yes.I will help. When or where do we start?"
He follows Dusty to the kitchen table." will go to Skytear's house after lunch and look for Clues."explained" If we don't find any evidence. Then we'll go to the library and look up articules about human questions?"
"we could ask anyone if they saw anything unusuell the day before Skytear's disappearence." Suggested Skipper.
"good .Anyone alse?"
"But what if we fail the whole thing?" Asked Dusty."I mean we've never done this before and we're not detectives"
"well, if we can help you with your dreams, we can find Skytear ourselves weither the police like it or , who wants some order-out Pizza?"
