Chap 21- Sorting It Out
Two hours, two arrests, and several phone calls later, Brad, Jenny, Sheldon, Professor Wakeman and Maisha were sitting at the police station waiting to finish their statements of what had happened. Claudia Harrison had taken Tuck and Cliff home after they had finished their statements with a promise from Brad to explain to his parents why there was a new 'doorway' in the middle of Brad's bedroom wall.
"Actually, I don't remember much of what happened." Jenny said.
"That's strange. Why not?" Maisha wanted to know.
"From what the police have said so far and what I've been able to see, the controlling technology was made so if it failed it would erase itself and all the events surrounding it." Professer Wakeman pointed out.
"So you don't remember anything?" Brad asked looking relieved.
"Nothing since the time I saw Maisha and you in your room. I do remember some things like when that mask was on my head and when you led me downstairs. Other then that, no I don't remember." Jenny answered him.
Maisha thought it was funny how relieved Brad looked but put it out of her mind and asked Professor Wakeman about the mirror.
"I'm supposed to get it after the lab is done but from what I understand the mirror can make a robot look human by using light waves and..."
"Skip all the science stuff, Mom." Jenny interrupted her.
"Fine, the real invention wasn't the mirror itself. It was what was in the mirror that was phenomenal. Maisha, did you notice anything strange about the mirror when you picked it up?" Professor Wakeman asked Maisha.
"It was sort-of heavy. I certainly wouldn't want to drag that thing around. Also I couldn't see my reflection in it." Maisha remembered.
"That was because the mirror was carrying probably a thousand DNA samples of human beings. Things like hair and fingernails. Those aren't that heavy but they were surrounded by hundreds of computer chips and blood."
"Blood?" Sheldon said looking rather pale. "Human blood?"
"No, thank goodness. Jenny, do you remember that time you had to go that robbery that seemed staged? Well it turned out it was a cover up for a local farmer's loss of over 500 cattle. Evidently the farmer was tied up and my radar didn't pick it up because it was blocked by the Cluster. The cows' bones were found yesterday picked clean back at the farmer's farm. I'm afraid those cows were, umm, what was in the mirror." Professor Wakeman finished.
"Poor cows. That's real cruel. We should have a moment of silence to remember them." Maisha said sadly starting a moment of silence.
Five seconds later Brad interrupted in laughter with everyone but Maisha eventually joining in with him.
"What is so funny?" Maisha asked looking confused
"I didn't know you were such a big animals' rights activist." Brad stammered between laughs.
"I'm not but I do what's humane and what's not. And that wasn't humane at all." Maisha stated. "Why was the blood there anyway?"
"I'm not sure yet, but I well investigate when the police are ready to let me. Anyway the point is the mirror could also make you act and think like a human. Like that guy who tied me up at my house. He was a robot using this mirror like thing to disguise him." Professor Wakeman finished.
"Then why was Vexus able to knock him out?" Jenny wanted to know.
"Simple. He thinks like a human so he thought a human would pass out after that kind of hit she gave him and he did. It's all in the mind. Fawnsworth was an exception."
"Was?" Brad asked the Professor.
"He died sort-of." Everyone looked at Professor Wakeman like she was crazy.
"Ummm, newsflash Mom. Robots don't die." Jenny pointed out.
"I know but he was at the point that his molecules didn't know what to do so they just overloaded and faded away when Maisha stomped on the mirror."
"I killed someone?" Maisha felt like throwing up.
"It wasn't your fault. You didn't know that would happen. So don't feel guilty about it, ok?" Professor Wakeman tried to comfort her. It wasn't working.
"I murdered someone. I'm a murderer. What if I get addicted to it? What if I killed someone else? Is this going on my personal record?" Maisha started freaking out.
Brad pinched her arm hard.
"Owwww!" Maisha yelled. "What was that for?"
"To stop you from freaking out." Brad told her. Maisha promptly slapped his face.
"Ow! What was that for?" Brad asked cradling his swollen cheek.
"No reason." Maisha told him and turned to Sheldon. "So since you told us what your part was in all this, why are you still here?"
"I don't have a ride home." Sheldon told her looking at the floor.
"Then why do I have the feeling that Sheldon Lee just lied in front of me?" Jenny asked him.
Sheldon looked ashamed. Then he fell to his knees, grabbed her hands, and said "Please don't hate me, Jenny! I'm so sorry! I'll do anything just don't hate me!"
Jenny looked thoughtful and said, "Well you could stop liking me..."
"...And forbidding my love from your sight. Please! Please! Pretty pretty please!" Sheldon graveled.
"OK! I forgive you." Jenny told him.
"Really? You'll never regret it. I'll repay you, you'll see. You are the best!"
"Umm Sheldon." Jenny started.
"Yes J-J-J-Jenny."
"You can stand up and stop kissing my feet." Jenny said embarrassed at Sheldon's kisses had stained her feet.A policeman walked in and told them they could go home.
"Have you enjoyed your first Valentine's day in Trentamorton?" Brad asked Maisha.
"Surprisingly, yeah I had fun. Wow, if this you all's Valentine's day, imagine what Christmas will be like." Maisha answered cheerfully back.
"I rather not think about that." Professor Wakeman muttered under her breath as she drove them home.
