"So, what's your name?"
The question was way more startling than it should've been, and it caused me to swerve a little on the open road I glided down. To prevent anyone from walking in on us, Riley had suggested we go out on a short drive to test out my repairs. It actually felt good to just drive without any specific destination in mind and explaining things to Riley were a lot easier. Of course, I did skew a few details, but what was I supposed to do? Tell her that my group was attempting to pretty much take over this planet? I don't see that flying well with any human.
Out of all the things I'd talked about, asking for my name had been the last thing I'd thought she'd do.
"R-49S-7."
"You're kidding, right?" My silence was answer enough. "That's not a name—it's a number . It sounds like it came off of some barcode. Even if I could remember it, I'm not referring to you by a string of numbers. We're sticking to Jeffrey until you come up with a better name."
Oddly enough, I didn't mind that. I'd grown used to the name by now.
