"If I hadn't, a lot of us would be injured or dead."
"I understand that, however you still had to follow orders..."
"And I did. The orders were to shoot if we felt in danger."
"You did well, Ruby."
"Did I, though?"
Ruby's superior nodded, and the woman let out a sigh of relief.
"I feel like I didn't, sir." She says without waiting for an answer.
"You did, Ruby." He paused. "Go out on patrol along the streets, as usual. This meeting is over."
Ruby nods. "Yes sir." She says, standing up.

Ruby walks through the building, sighing. "I swear I was going to get in trouble for that." She says, pushing the button for the elevator. She tapped her foot, looking around the very clean hallway that felt strangely empty. The only thing that she could see in the hallway was a small robot that was on four small legs. It was carrying a large load of small boxes that had many different labels on them. For a few moments, she began to think about what was inside of the boxes, but her thoughts were interrupted by a [i]ding[/i]. She turned around, and saw that the elevator had opened. She strolled into the empty, large elevator, and sat down on one of the sides.

Soft piano music began as the elevator doors slid closed, and the elevator began to descend to the ground floor. When the doors finally slid open, she walked out of the elevator and began to head to the front of the building, shyly smiling to herself. She liked her job, even if she got upset or angry at it sometimes. She nodded to the person at reception, and then walked out. She turned and began to walk to the garage to find her police vehicle. She wondered where her partner was, or if he was already there, waiting for her.
