"Guess what we have enough to either go out to eat or we can buy something that we can make." Isay to aqua who turns to look at Sasha.
"You're our new party member so why don't you choose." Aqua says t Sasha who is taken aback by the offer.
'I shouldn't I mean I just met the two of you and you are letting me stay with you already so." Sasha says to us.
'Go ahead it's no big deal, either way, we still have to eat." I say to her.
"Then how about we go out to eat?" Sasha answers us.
"Yes! I want some beer and fried chicken." Aqua declares as she walks towards the door.
"I think I'm in the mood for a beef bowl." I aid as I followed Aqua out of the apartment.
"How about you?" I ask Sasha.
'I don't know, I usually ate what the doctor made so I don't know." she answers.
There was a small pause between the three of us, Sasha was able to keep up with Aqua and me while we were working.
This means that the doctor taught her how to use the arms and legs that he either replace with the ones she has now, or she replaced them before whatever happened to her.
"Ms. Aqua." one of the homeless men calls out to Aqua as we are walking out of the building.
"I wanted to thank you." I hear the man say to Aqua before he stops talking when I stand next to them.
"Be careful you're a good person and this city doesn't have a lot of you."
"There's someone following the three of you, there on the roof of the building over there," he says to us before he smiles and waves at us while he says goodbye.
"Let's go." I say to Aqua and Sasha.
I didn't need the man to warn us, I can feel someone watching us but the person himself doesn't mean any harm, still, someone or something could be controlling them, so by the time my skills activate, it could be too late.
Unfortunately, there's nothing we can d, so we just walk o a nearby restaurant.
This city is strange its some sort of odd mixture between erotic fantasy and a dystopian future.
As we walk inside I walk past a woman that is wearing an open dress that only covers the important areas, but at the same time, she has a lot of loose cloth just hanging around.
Eating at a booth is a man whose entire face was replaced by machines and the only thing left of the person's face is his mouth.
Next to him is a woman with three kids who are all dressed like the people that I would see on my version of earth.
If the billboards or commercials aren't selling medicine- guns or some sort of hologram that's sent into a person's brain, they are showing some kind of porn.
"Welcome, I see that the two of you brought a friend." the waitress says to us as she hands us the menus, we have come to this restaurant more than once so the people working here already know who we are.
"Fried chicken." Aqua says to the waitress without bothering to look at the menu.
"The usual." I said to her as I hand her back the menu.
We all turn to look at Sasha who is still looking at the menu. "I'll have the cheeseburger please." she says to the waitress.
The woman stands in front of us and after hesitating for a moment she turns around and walks toward the kitchen.
After we ate it was time for us to get some sleep and surprisingly Sasha chose to sleep with me and Aqua, it was the first time that I felt prosthetics that felt like human hands and feet so it was easy for me to fall asleep.
The sound of the alarm woke me up as usual but this time I found Sasha sleeping at my side while the sound of Aqua's voice came from the bathroom.
Like usual, I turn off the alarm and look at my emails and I find six new names and each one has a star on it.
I don't bother opening any of the messages, when I first bought the wrist computer and tablet, I asked the person that sold them to me if they could install a program that marked the messages from people that I would rather not read.
Unfortunately, all of the messages that I have belong to Fixers, fixers are the people responsible for hiring and paying Edgerunners or mercenaries to do jobs that put them and the people around them in danger.
I remember that we still have to tell David about his mom and so I get out of bed and head to his apartment but no matter how much I knock no one answers.
The kid must have not come home last night and is still looking for his mom.
As I walk back inside I find that my tablet is ringing and Aqua is cooking breakfast while teaching Sasha how to cook bacon that isn't bacon.
"Hellow." I say as I answer the call.
"Kazuma, I just called to tell you that your friend had some problems last night, I managed to stabilize her condition when the two of you left her."
"Don't worry she's safe and she should be back on her feet in a few days, but you owe me for the work this time."
I was about to tell the doctor that he said that he wouldn't charge but a list of medicines and how much they cost appeared on the screen, followed by a bill.
"This is how much the meds I used on her cost." the doctor says to me before a set of numbers with the words labor appears on the screen.
"And this is how much I cost, you tell me which is cheaper." the doctor says to me.
I wanted to say something and even if I d have the money this was something that I didn't expect.
"What's the matter, you've gone silent on me?"
"Let me guess you don't have the money." the doctor says to me.
"I already gave you three the jobs that I could find, I suggest that you get in contact with a fixer before they force the three of you to meet with one of them." the doctor says to me before the screen goes black.
I put the tablet down and I see both Sasha and Aqua looking at me with worried expressions.
I look at the table and find a plate of not bacon and eggs waiting for me.
