Chapter Four

Realisations

Roger's feet came to a sudden stop; he felt a jar in his heart, like someone had twisted it until it split into two.

"Dorothy!" He hushed into the freezing wind. The rain had subsided by now, but somehow, a tear fell from his eye. He gasped and allowed the droplet to land in his finger, he stared at the liquid, like some alien.

He somehow knew, something frightful had happened to Dorothy, or something was still happening to her.

His single tear represented his fear for Dorothy, Dorothy's safety and Dorothy's heart. Someone was toying with her and he was willing to give his life to protect her from such a terrible heartache.

'Dorothy, I - oh! Please be okay, stay strong, till I find you again. So I can hold you and protect you. I love you and I promised to always shield you from danger, I know that I've failed you, but it won't be for long. I promise.'

"I love you." It felt so right to him, to say those three words. Those three simple words, those three words, which he had never uttered before. He felt a sense of comfort and relief to finally say it, somewhere deep within his core, he always knew the truth - deep within his subconscious.

He silently vowed to enlighten her of the same words; hopefully she'd return his feelings. Roger was already smart enough to realise that he could not keep his confession to himself; the only way to Dorothy's heart was through his own. To tell her of his feelings, he knew it would be hard - but he also knew that she'd help him through it.

Bleep, bleep!!

Roger peered down at his watch, "Master Roger, I thought you aught to know, that your dinner is ready sir." Roger smiled warily and replied.

"I don't think I'm going to make it home tonight Norman, why don't you make a jump start on breakfast." Roger winked and scanned the street again.

"Very good sir, good luck."

"Norman; thanks."

A faint smile danced across his face and he ran down the streets of Paradigm, searching for his love.

Her clean, pink boots soon became imprinted with large scuffs and smeared mud prints. She wandered rather than walked through the high street that seemed empty to her, there weren't many people out at this time. Nevertheless, her eye's seemed lifeless as her thoughts got the better of her.

'I; I don't understand. How is it that, this man can have such intermit feelings? For an android with no emotions at all, I can't see how he can care so deeply for her.' She continued to trudge down the streets and pass the large crowds of late night shoppers.

"Hey, baby; hurry up!!" Angel stopped; she stood still, frozen on the spot. It was that Dorothy and a man in a gold suit, standing by a large van, with a novelty desert on the top.

She decided that watching Dorothy could be of a great advantage. She backed into the nearest dingy alley where she kept upon Dorothy, an eagle eyed gaze.

To her own surprise she found Dorothy loaded large equipment into a small ice cream truck.

"Well, that's a first. I've never seen an ice cream business open at midnight. And since when did Dorothy work for providing sugared treats for children. She might as well have stayed home with Roger; he's enough of a child anyway. " She narrowed her eye's and slowed her breathing. Her spiteful temptation for revenge prevented her soggy feet from fleeing her present location. Her jealous heart fed that temptation; therefore she could not pry her eyes away from this suspicious scene.

Dorothy sped back and forth, loading one crate after another, however Beck sat upon the edge of the van. His legs spread wide, as he twiddled with his golden pen. However, that was beyond Angel's gaze. Beck giggling and smirking to himself, seeing Dorothy under his control gave him pleasure that was unimaginable.

'This is great! If only crow boy could see his precious Dorothy now, what would he say? My Dorothy, my slave.' He hissed a humorous hiss and commanded Dorothy once more.

"Come here babe." He fiddled with his pen and prompted her body to move toward his. She slowly walked towards him, fearing that little pen that he fiddled with. Awaiting his orders, he grabbed hold of her waist and constructed her to sit on his lap.

The blonde gasped and moved back, leaning against the alleyway, wondering whether she should have been watching this scene. However her jealously for Dorothy took over once more and she turned back to watch them again.

He gazed at her, laughing at the torture he bestowed upon the unfortunate android. He twisted his pen and muttered the words 'kiss me'. He passionately cupped her face and pulled her in, till their lips met.

From her hiding place Angel caught every glimpse of the fiery kiss.

"If only Roger could see this. Then he wouldn't love her, then he would see what an emotionless, two timing android she really is. Then I will be there to comfort Rodger in his hour of need." Angel walked off out of sight to brake Rodgers heart, to inform him of her betray.

Angel felt slightly upset to have to inform him of this. Despite her feelings, she knew it would all be worth it and she'd make up for his disappointment.

Rodger continued his search. He searched franticly calling her name, praying that she was okay, even though he could sense Dorothy's pain and that something had happened to her. This filled him with hatred, which boiled through his veins and made him more determined to find her.

'Whoever's doing this will pay dearly; I am not having someone mess with you and get away with it Scot-free. No way in hell, I will search for you with every last breath in my lungs and beat of my heart.'

"I'm coming Dorothy" he hushed to the air as he continued to run. He feet pounding with every step he took.

'Rodger!'

Dorothy cried out inside. Beck was just sat on the van laughing at her anguish. When all Dorothy could think about was Rodger, her heart felt worse with ever movement he controlled. Her lips were tainted with his sting. Like a bee sting, it spread through out her system, a poison that devoured her every organ.

"Get back to work. These crates won't move themselves." He interrupted her thoughts and stared at her, scanning her body - up and down. His eagle eye stare felt as if he was beginning to scorch her metal covering.

Nevertheless, she had no choice in the matter, walking back to the crates, she continued to move them.

Angel had been waiting for countless hours; Norman poured her another cup of tea as she drummed her fingers along the chair.

"I'm sure Master Rodger will be along any minuet now." And with that, Major Daustin burst through the door, he held Roger's limp figure over his shoulder.

"He collapsed from exhaustion - my men found him in the fifth dome." Angel rolled her eyes and followed them into his bedroom. Placing him gently to his bed, Angel pulled a chair beside him and patiently waited for the butler and the Major to exit.

Closing her eyes, she listened carefully for their footsteps to fade, and then she swiftly pulled out a bottle of strong incense. Within seconds, Rodger awoke from his dazed sleep and stared upon her with a puzzled expression.

"What are you doing here? Where's Dorothy?!" He squinted from the bright radiance outside. The glow filled his room, it shone all round. Tinting Angel in a heavenly glow, it was as is she were an Angel. However her expression was not pleasing, as she looked at him in a hurtful manor.

"Is that all you can think about is her, while I spent a total of three hours waiting for you. Rodger Smith - that's not polite."

Rodger groaned and sat up, "look, I'm sorry - Dorothy's missing and I need to get to her - have you seen her at all?" Angel was about to begin, when a sudden knock came from the door.

Daustin stood in the frame, not really knowing where to begin. Roger turned his attention away from Angel to hear what Daustin had to say.

"We've just had a report of an android robbing the cities museum."

"Dorothy!" Worry struck through his veins like poison. It was as if a venomous kiss pierced the very life in which he lived, to be cursed and slowly die, until his soul would be thrown into the darkness shadows.

"I-I must find her…" Rodger sprang from his bed and rushed to the door, Daustin held up an arm in protest.

"You are not well Rodger, you need to stay in bed." He shook his head.

"No! You must understand, I need to find her. I love her." Angel suddenly gasped from across the room. She held up a hand over her mouth, as tears spilled from her sharp eye's.

Daustin could see the determination, at which he admired.

Therefore, he let him go.

Rodger rushed out and headed downstairs, where as Angel sat in her place. Daustin briefly looked back and walked toward her.

"Are you going to be alright miss?" She nodded, her face turned away from him. Embarrassed to revile her emotion. Daustin sat on the bed and caught a glimpse of her pain; he raised his hand and brushed away a tear.

"Don't worry, you'll find someone; someday." She looked back at him, deep within his eyes laid compassion. The kind of compassion she had been hoping, wishing for all her life.

Giving her a small smile, he rose and proceeded out the door. In search of his car, where he was sure to find Rodger.

'How did it come to this? How is it that I have brayed the person that I cared for the most? I can't believe that this pathetic human has control over me. No mere human could control me, all expect for one.

Rodger Smith, he has this wondrous grip upon my heart. Even if he didn't believe that I had emotions.' She was suddenly shocked at the amount of emotion she felt, she could have never imagined that having emotions could be so complicated. She used her thumb to run over the smooth surface of the large gem before her.

"Come on babe, hurry it up - I gave you your body back for this mission, so hurry up!!" Beck screamed from the rooftop across the street. Dorothy touched the earpiece and proceeded.

Shoving the large gem into her black bag, she headed for the exit. Just as she was about to leave, she could hear sirens. In a shier moment of panic, she intensely tried to escape; however she failed.

The lights blinded her vision, as many police cars surrounded her, she was trapped once again. Numerous police held up their guns and used the cars as shield's.

"Come on babe, take them out! Fine I'm taking control " Beck's voice shrilled through the ear piece that occupied her hearing. She analysed her surroundings and was about to launch forward and attack, when suddenly a familiar voice came through.

"Dorothy!!" Beck worriedly tumbled with his pen, while peering through the binoculars.

'Damn thing!! Work!!! She's not moving, great! It's all over!!' He moped and fell back to the floor of the roof. Suddenly a spot light flew straight over him, a police helicopter sped past him and then circled round. Beck screamed and ran for cover, he waved his hands in the air and dove under a ventilator.

Once the copter moved away, Beck grabbed his binoculars again and looked back at his android slave. Just a few metres away, stood Rodger!

"Oh my God!! What's crow boy doing here! Wow, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!" He fell back again and clapped with his feet with pure glee.

"This is great, I can destroy my arch enemy's through his android lover!!" He tried the pen once more and still, I wouldn't move.

"No! Not on my moment of triumph!!! Not again!!!!!!!!"

Dorothy felt Beck's grip loosen, at that moment, she dropped the bag, moved forward and ran into Rodger's arms. Breaking into tears, he held her close - still in a state of shock. She snuggled deeply into his soft chest, for the first time, in a long time - she felt comfort.

Rodger swiftly looked down upon the quivering figure, she seemed so lost - as if she were a child that had lost its way. The sensations of having her there made his heart fill with joy. But the news of the robbery stained his happy heart.

"Dorothy, what happened, w-why are you doing this?" He spoke lushly, she moved back. Tears still spilled from an overjoyed soul. Rodger coaxed his heart - never before had he seen her to full of emotion.

Forgetting his question, he leaned down and brushed away the tears. She smiled at his expression, he instantly knew something was different. Unable to speak he allowed her to reply.

"It was Beck, he's been controlling me." She looked away, Rodger suddenly blinked out of his daze.

"What!!! I knew it, that Beck's gonna pay!!" He promptly looked down at his beloved Dorothy; she was gripping her head and began screaming.

"No!!!!! Not gain - Get out of my head!!!!!!!!! Why hello there crow boy…"
