JOHNNY BRAVO

CHAPTER FOUR

THE TRUTH OF IT ALL

"What's going on Carl?"

"Oh I thought we would have a chat like old times"

Carl then motioned for Johnny to sit next to him which he complied and sat down next to Carl leaving a seat between the two of them "did you think that when you woke up this morning the day was going to play out like this?"

"I… don't know"

Carl couldn't help but chuckle as he grabbed the gun and pointed it at Johnny "listen Johnny, we've been friends for a long time and I would prefer not to do something I don't want to do…"

"What happened to you?" Johnny asked interrupting Carl who was mid-sentence "what do you mean?"

"Look at you, your pointing a gun at you friend"

"I'm truly sorry, but I must make sure are plan goes off without a hitch, so please tell me, where is Suzy"

"I don't know, the ambulance wouldn't let me ride with her and she wasn't at the hospital when I got there"

Carl didn't respond and just stared at Johnny for a few seconds "that's clearly a lie, cameras in the hospital show you carrying her out with another woman"

By now Johnny was panicking and wasn't sure how he was going to get out of this "alright Carl, you win, just tell me what your planning"

"Certainly, built within all of our new cellphones there is a program that will allow us to manipulate humans and reprogram them to obey us"

"Right"

"Now, where is Suzy?"

"Alright first you take a left on Cole Road, actually she's pretty hard to find I should probably wright it down for you, you got a pen"

Without even realizing it Carl reached into his jacket to pull out a pen and took his eyes off of Johnny which was his opening. Johnny quickly reached over, grabbed Carl's cup of coffee and smashed it across his face causing Carl to drop his gun as he fell to the ground as he clutched the side of his face, Johnny quickly picked up Carl's gun and proceeded to call the police but while he waited for someone to answer Carl began to stand up which prompted Johnny to point the gun at him "stay down Carl, I've called the police"

Carl didn't respond and just continued to stand up and by the time his feet was under him he facing away from Johnny. "Carl?"

Carl slowly turned around to face Johnny and right off the bat he could tell something wasn't right with Carl who suddenly charged at Johnny "no!" Johnny yelled as fired of around which hit Carl in the shoulder, but that didn't slow him down any and knocked the gun out of Johnny's hand just as he latched onto his throat then lifted him up in the air "Carl…"

Johnny tried to loosen Carl's grip by hitting his arm but after a few hits his arm became sore, it felt like his was hitting solid steel. Carl then tossed him over the counter and tumbled into the deep fryer which when he hit it, it turned on "what the hell"

Carl hopped the counter and made a b line straight for him, by now Johnny knew Carl had gone crazy and was looking around for anything that he could use to defend himself, luckily he found a knife and just as Carl bent down to pick him up he stabbed him in the chest which caused carl to stumble backwards then looked down at the knife then back to Johnny who by now was freaking out and tried to make a run for it but just as he got to his feet he slipped and fell back down to the ground but while on the way down reached out grab anything, he ended up grabbing the handle of a fry basket which caused it come flying out of the fryer and plash Carl in hot oil. When Johnny felt drops of hot oil hit his back he immediately scrambled away from the fryer and just when he was clear he rolled over onto his back "holy shit!" Johnny screamed in horror as he witnessed half the skin on Carl's face melt away to reveal a metallic skull "a fucking robot"

"Kill…kill" The robot Carl said as he took a step towards Johnny but at the very moment it stepped on a puddle of oil which caused it to slip and fall, then when it's head hit the side of the fryer it basically collapsed under the robot and it's head became emerged in to hot oil.

The robot attempted to stand back up but by the time it was on its hands and knees the oil had already seeped into its head and destroyed the processing chips and it froze in place, Johnny not entirely sure it was dead slowly got up and walked over to it but just as he was about to poke it with a rolling pin he had picked up it suddenly collapsed to the ground then just as he sighed in relief he heard someone clear their throat which caused him to spin around and ready his rolling pin but then lowered it when he saw it was Suzy "Johnny what happened"

Johnny looked around at the carnage that surrounded him just so that he could make sense of what had just happened "Carl… he attacked me… I fought him off… he, he's a robot"

Confused by what she was hearing she walked around the counter to where Johnny was standing and was horrified but what she saw "let's um… let's go outside and get some air"

She took the rolling pin away from him and escorted him outside. Once outside he looked over and saw the limo had been abandoned "alright have a seat" Suzy said as she helped him sit down on the curb "listen, I want you to sit here and take a breather I'll be right back I need to grab something from inside"

Against her better judgment she left him sitting there and once inside she went straight Johnny's room "there you are" she said as she grabbed the case that housed his silver star but just as she turned to leave she saw the robot Carl standing in doorway which surprised her so much she dropped the case "hello Suzy."

Back outside Johnny had finally calmed down and was sorting out everything that had happened but just as he had stood up to go back inside he heard what sounded like an explosion from within the diner but before he could go inside he heard a sound outside and when he looked up he was shocked to see the robot rocketing away with an unconscious Suzy in its arms "no, no, no you bastard!"

Just as the robot was nearly out of site he heard his phone ring which he answered "hello Johnny"

"Carl… you son of a… I swear to god if you…"

"Relax Johnny, no harm will come to her as long as you bring me what she stole from us"

"Stole from you, I have no idea…"

"I'm sure your new friends would be happy to help you, the clocks ticking friend"

Before Johnny could reply the line went dead which caused him to immediately run into the diner and began tearing through everything in the hopes of finding anything that points to whatever Suzy took but after twenty minutes of searching he entered his bedroom and nearly tripped over the case Suzy had dropped earlier, in his frustration he quickly turned around and was about to kick it but stopped when he realized what it was. The moment he saw the case he realized he was only frustrating himself more the longer he looked so he decided to sit down on his bed and as he sat down he picked up the case "dammit Jack, what have I gotten myself into"

He was about set the case on his nightstand when he heard something shift inside the case, he slowly opened the case to see the lining was starting to come loose and out of curious he started to tear it and right there hidden behind the lining was a flash drive "I'll be dammed"

With the flash drive in hand he ran back into diner but when he got there he saw the blonde woman standing just on the other side of the counter "Mr. Bravo, I understand we have a problem."
