"Uhm..Hi guys...I sorta..got lost" everyone stared at me in absolute shock, confusion, and worry plus maybe a little
bit of anger for scaring them.

The first one to break the silence between us was DG breaking out laughing almost falling over to the floor in his
fit.

TJ simply smiled snickering and shaking his head, Mag buried her face in her hands sighing and Graverobber walked
up to me "Shilo...why?"

"Well it wasn't my fault! I just pulled a book and then I was down some slide and into a room, then I just..had a
little bit of fun with the computer...do I get to keep the armor?" now it was TJ laughing at my question of keeping
the armor.

"Sure thing kid...the machine makes armor that only fits the person identified, even if they never wear it, it was
specifically made for you, I don't think you can just walk around like that but sure you can keep the armor..it's
yours anyway" DG stood up from his fit wiping a tear from his eye.

"We were worried about you love" Mag added in trying not to smile being obviously deeply worried about me. "You
and that bear too" TJ pointed at it snickering, although he was making fun of the fact that it was childish to hold
onto it I simply pat it on the head "I shot a guy in the head for this, I think I won him fairly."

"Well! All is well now that our little rebel teen is back in our sight" Graverobber lifted his arms in the air as
if he was being put under arrest but accompanied that with a yawn "I think it's my turn for a long nap" he winked
at me as he walked through the 'Staff' door.

DG walked off with him and TJ remained behind pretending to stack things on the shelves of the store as Mag
grabbed my hand and carefully walked me to our room "I was very worried about you Shi...try not to wander off into
random hide outs like that again."

A small bit of humor was in her gentle and motherly scolding as I sat down on the bed and removed the helmet.

It felt weightless in your hands "your hair..." Mag ran her fingers through the short hair that felt realistic
compared to your old wig that you still kept "Yeah...the others were just wigs...because of my disease I grew up
without hair, the robot did something though" I placed my hand on hers.

"Well you are beautiful no matter what Shi, just know that" Mag's eyes tried to produce as much emotion as possible
but that was something they seemed incapable of doing just like anyone else...eyes were hard to read anyway. Her
face made up for that as the smallest of smiles was on her lipstick covered lips.

"It's getting late..why don't you take that off and shower, I'll be back" she rose from her spot and exited the room
leaving me to change.

I walked up to the closet and slowly removed the armor putting any pieces on the floor or on the top shelf.

It was painful to remove the legs and shoulder pads as they were acting like a splint but I was sure it wouldn't
be right to not only bathe in them but sleep in them. I left the armor in the closet and wobbled to the bathroom.

In there was the basics and the shower was easy to understand, I undressed and waited for the water to get warm.

I thought about my father...was he angry? Wasn't he looking for me? Wasn't Rotti searching the whole world for
Mag? What about her contract with GeneCo? wouldn't he be after us in no time? I stood under the water and bathed
while thinking.

Where did we plan on going anyway? Did Graverobber even have some sort of plan? Could these people even protect
us from GeneCo if it came to that?

What would happen?


"WHY ISN'T ANYONE ACTING LIKE A RESPONSIBLE ADULT AND FREAKING OUT OVER SHILO?!" Because by the time they realized she was gone she only spent about 5-9 minutes in the underground place although all together it would be about 10-15ish, also the other two are just laid back. They have had a lot happen to them, sure they don't want her to end up dead or something else...but they are pretty laid back.

Graverobber? I have a feeling like he would be the type of guy to just claim Shilo as the type to be able to take care of herself even if you left her all alone in the world of Repo. That even if she was missing that if anything he would go after her non-stop or always have some sort of inside hope for her that she would be perfectly fine.

Mag? She was flipping her shit on the inside but I felt that yelling...isn't what Mag does nor having panic attacks, though I do feel that if anything she did freak out for a bit about the fact that she just lost her god daughter and it was her responsibility to keep track of her, I thought her response was perfectly fine since it isn't in Mag's character to become some sort of strict mother with Shilo but neither become the lazy mother. (God mother not mother really). Until then.
