Roger arrived at the mansion the microchip notified him to go to. He
went to the door and knocked. Two guards answered, both of them larger than
him. "Do you have an appointment?" one of them growled. "Yes, yes I do,"
Roger lied. The other one said, "Wrong. Boss doesn't have any appointments
today, tomorrow, or any day for that matter. Go away, punk!" Roger was
persistent.
"What do you mean? He told me that he was expecting me."
"I don't think..."
Roger took a stun gun out of his pocket. He really didn't want to use force, but desperate times called for desperate measures. On contact with the stun gun, both guards dropped to the floor. "Sorry, guys," he said as he walked inside. Through a labyrinth of halls, stairs, and doors, he made it to his first goal - the power room. He found the backup generator and destroyed it first, and then he destroyed the main generator. Instantly, the mansion was shrouded in darkness. He knew that it would shield him, for now.
Dorothy made it to the mansion, out of breath and numb from cold. She had to find Roger, which was her only thought. She ran up the front steps inside, carefully making sure no one saw her. She had slipped a kitchen knife in her pocket, and she clutched it in her right hand the entire time. Then, all of a sudden, the lights went out. She was nervous... this was not good. What if she was caught?
Roger crept back upstairs, although it was difficult without light. He was sure somebody would run to the power room immediately, and he would be caught. He kept confidence within himself, muttering, "I will not surrender." He knew where he had to go - the office of that madman, Eli Dey Marinoko. He had never heard of this man before, but he sounded so familiar. Everything was strange to him anyway, without any memories of his past. He shook the thought off. He had to find him.
Dorothy ran down corridors and passages, cautious. She forgot why she was here in the first place, but remembered. "It's because of Roger, I have to help him, I have to protect him..." She turned a corner and smacked into something hard. Dorothy fell, and she was not alone. She heard someone groan with pain near her. Then, in the darkness, came a hand. It was so recognizable, but she failed to recall why.
"Dorothy?" she knew that voice so well...
"Roger?"
"What are you doing here? I told you to stay home!"
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't possibly see you go through this alone."
"I can't believe you'd go against my commands!"
"You said it yourself, I'm a human being. I'm not an android anymore, so why should I act like it?"
"But Dorothy, this is not the time for this!"
"Then what time would it be?"
A shout came from down the hall. "I hear something down here! Let's check it out!" Guards with flashlights ran towards them. Roger got up and took Dorothy's hand, and they began running down a hallway. "I think we can escape!" he said to her. They ran through a warped network of passages, but they saw no openings. "Roger, I don't think we can, look at this place!" He did not respond, but kept his hand in Dorothy's. She could hear guards behind them. Then, he stopped, and she saw why. A team of guards blocked their way. One guard flashed his light in their faces. Another said, "We got them, boss. What do you want with them?" Dorothy felt Roger's grip tighten. The guard said, "You're coming with us, the boss wants to see you."
"What do you mean? He told me that he was expecting me."
"I don't think..."
