Ready or Not
Ava woke up. She wheeled into Mistress's room. A laptop and a desk lamp glanced at her.
"Oh, good morning, Ava," the desk lamp, a tall black one called Luna, said. "I've heard from Sam here that you're going to catch a killer."
The laptop turned on. "Is it morning already?" Sam was an ordinary laptop.
"Yes, it is," Luna said.
"Good luck," Sam said.
Ella and Lexie woke up as well.
"Well, they're probably going to come here again," Ava said.
Oracle reached her cord around Levi's back. She felt a noticeable dent. "I didn't notice this. How'd you get it?"
Levi lifted Oracle off the desk and set her gently on the floor. "Well, Marshall gave it to me. We got into a fight a long time ago." Oracle wrapped her cord around Levi's stem. He slowly wheeled forward, giving Oracle time to keep up.
"Are we going to get that Avalir II?" she asked.
A smile crossed Levi's face. "Of course." Debbie sat by the cabin door. She pushed the door open.
