Sid and Arthur's Steampunk Adventure

Part 17

"Ventricle?"

"Very heartfelt," punned D'ark.

"Maybe not Ventricle..."

"Maybe though, once he kills Sid and Arthur, you could say they died of a broken heart."

"That doesn't really work D'ark."

"It's a bit like you then."

"Ahem," cleared the throat I, "I could just write you out of the book you know, then you don't even get a chance to direct their fake death."

"Traiton."

"Pardon?"

"Call the android Traiton."

"Not bad, I think I will. Traiton it is then."

"Did you call me?" asked the newly named android.

"I tried ta traitor(n)," tried to joke D'ark.

"Is that some kind of joke Director?"

"Er, yes, and I command you to laugh at it."

Traiton did not laugh.

"Cut," said the Director, D'ark.

"Cut what," asked Traiton, "your head off?"

"Head off," said D'ark as he clutched his neck, "I think I'll do just that."

Then he headed off to his dressing room for a break.
