He pried her small knees from the stone of the balcony. No doubt the police would have questions, even though the negotiator was sure Dorothy was safe from charges. It was clearly her life or Neilson's. Still, Roger dreaded having to watch the woman he loved go through that. He sighed quietly as he wrapped his arm around Dorothy's slender frame.
They got inside, and sat on the couch in silence. Daustan stood outside still, staring blankly at the spilled blood of Angel and Neilson, and felt it would soon be safe to approach them for questioning.
Roger had said he loved this girl. As long as the officer had known Roger Smith, he never seemed committed to any one person. Could it be the negotiator had finally found the one woman?
Dorothy's head rested on Roger's shoulder as a sudden pounding rang out through her temples.
"Roger," she asked. "What is this strange throbbing in my head?"
"You have a headache. I'll go get you an aspirin."
Roger kissed her hand gently before getting up and going to the kitchen. The memories of earlier moments stayed, the images frozen in her mind played on.
The look he gave her...the panic...the pain...all the desperateness of fear, they all resided in Roger's gentle eyes. The moment the gun shots rang out, and the uncertainty hung in the air, she saw Roger lose his cool...that had never happened before. And then the one word that was so foreign to her, came out of his mouth, and it was directed right at her...he loved her.
She sighed in contentment, though the pain continued. Neilson had been so sure of his plan. Now they would go to Heaven. Dorothy shook her head. How can more bloodshed lead to such a wonderful thing?
Even with all the enhancements she had received, Dorothy was still partially android. Her brain was still mostly mechanical, even though tissue and blood had been added. The logical piece of her was screaming obscenities, but the rest of Dorothy's conscience self was numb with happiness.
Roger reached up to the medicine cabinet in the corner of the kitchen. He began searching for some aspirin as his own temples began to throb. Daustan walked up behind him.
"Are you going to be ok?" he asked gently.
Roger then found the Bayer. He turned to Daustan smiling, a slight glaze over his eyes.
"Dan," he said. "I've never felt better in my life."
"It's just that you saw a lot of bloodshed today. I wanted to make sure you were all right."
He sighed.
"I have her...this is what I've wanted all along."
