Chapter 25

The bus stop only had two people there when they got to it. Call and Trinity said nothing to each other as they waited for the bus. Call looked down at Trinity's hand that was still holding Call's. She had let go of Trinity's but Trinity still hadn't let go of hers. She looked away from it though when she heard someone yelling.

"Hey!"

Walking a little fast but not enough to be jogging the lady came up to Call. It took her a minute to realize it was the lady from the print shop, Mavis. She was still in her print shop uniform shirt with blue jeans on. She stood beside Call and Trinity.

"I didn't think I'd see you here."

"Neither did I."

Mavis glanced over at Trinity for a second. Then she rubbed her chin for a few seconds, thinking to herself. Trinity looked back at her nervously.

"Have we met before?"

Trinity shook her head no.

"That's weird I swear I've seen you somewhere before…..Aw, forget it!"

Mavis's thinking expression changed to goofy grin.

"I'm probably just mixing you up with someone."

She waved it off, and turned her attention back to Call.

"Anyway! I'm surprised you and your friend are out. I hope you weren't planning on doing anything down on that street."

Mavis pointed back down the way they had come.

"All the places are supposed to be closing down, it's so the repair construction can start."

"We are aware. It was our Objective, to remind store owners to close up."

"Really, huh just thought you did paper work. No offense though! I just kind of thought that since you were picking up printing materials and messaging bots usually look a lot different than you."

"None taken, I cannot be offended. I do; however, understand how you came to that conclusion. You are correct I normally deal with paperwork. But due to lack of service bots Trinity and I are taking care of reminders."

Mavis's thinking face came back.

"Trinity, where have I heard that name before?"

She kept thinking about it for a minute before waving it off, again.

"Anyway, after you guys finish up your job I suggest you guys hurry on home."

"May I ask a Question?"

"Uh, yes?"

"Question: Why should we 'hurry on home' after we complete our Objective?"

"You don't want to get robot napped do you? Those robbers are pros; you don't want to go missing now do you?"

Trinity shook her head no.

"No. May I ask a Question?"

"Sure."

"Question: Why are you saying these 'robbers are pros'?"

"Cause they are. My boss did everything he could to protect his printing bot and it still got taken."

"May I ask a Question?"

"Go on ahead."

"Question: What type was it, and what company made it?"

"I don't know it's type, sorry, but it was made some fruit Dynamics."

"Do you mean Cherry Dynamics?"

Mavis snapped her fingers.

"That's the one."

"Interesting."

Mavis put her hands behind her head.

"If you say so."

Call felt Trinity pulled on her arm, and looked at the bot. Trinity pointed up the street; And Call could see the busy coming. Mavis turned to look at it to. As the bus came to stop it blew some dust up as it touched the ground and let off passengers. Everyone at the stop then piled in and paid for their tickets.
