Geir stopped short outside Kenji’s room, the male voice was not Kenji. It took a while for him to realize who it was. Hassel? He was pressuring Cassie to be with him. He pursed his lips for a moment, concerned with only finding out what happened to Kenji. He continued down the hall to the common area, which was mostly empty except for a few people playing cards and eating breakfast. He checked a few different other favorite places unable to find Kenji. Only one person had seen Kenji on his way to the workshop.

He went to Wrench’s workshop. Wrench looked up from her work and setting aside the soldering iron. “You in pain?”

“Where’s Kenji?”

Wrench pointed to her chin toward her personal quarters. “I infused his system with high level of inebriation to allow him time to obtain REM.”

“Hassel is in with the android sticking his tongue down her throat.”

“That sounds uncomfortable.” Wrench said testing the joint on the robotic arm, even with power it was not working. She poked around until she saw some more connections that were severed. “Unless she is somehow altered from most standard issue android, he will be grossly disappointed.”

“Huh?”

“Androids have no sex drive. So sticking his tongue in her mouth might get it bit off. Replacing a tongue would be interesting though.” She turned to her work once again melting the delicate line of metal with the iron to strength the connections. “What of the android’s sibling? Have they come forward this morning?”

“No, I haven’t seen hide nor hair of them.” He glanced at the door. “I am ready to put a bullet in her head and end this insanity.”

“Don’t hit the chip when you do.”

“How long before Twinkle Toes wakes up?”

“A couple of hours at the earliest. Vodka never sat well with his system and the mild tranquilizer I added to his bloodstream when he laid down will prove to be in your favor.”

Geir nodded and left the workshop heading for Kenji’s room his hand on his pistol hilt. He didn’t care all the stuff Ning brought up last night, he wasn’t going to have a threat in his home. He planned to have a conversation with the android and if he didn’t like what he heard, he pulling the trigger. He pushed the curtain aside and stepped into the room.
