How to Date an Android Chapter 36

"So what's this?" Ruth asked me. She's wondering why we didn't just leave directly, but there are safety issues. The black box is too thick to be broken into by zombies. But I can't put a car in a protective box and still pick up the real black box.

I think this is really dangerous. Every time we're with zombies if I'm not careful, we will die. Everything depends on me and my brain.

She's pointing at the newly constructed remote control car.

"It's the ability to scout and draw zombies away from certain streets without exposing ourselves to danger. Then we find what we're looking for and can spot and identify hot zones before we leave the house," I said.

"Jack, you are amazing. This is brilliant honey. This is...this is like on par with android quality stuff! Wait, even better even," Ruth exclaimed hopping in delight.

Wait...does she think androids are on a different level than humans? I can't tell if that's good or bad or different.

Eh? She called me honey though. I guess that's awesome.

"Ahh thank you Ruth!"

"So did you make breakfast?" I asked.

"Ahh, I'll do that next," she said. She gave a sly blush mixed with a half smile. She's getting up to leave to go back to the kitchen area.

"Yeah you do that babe. Get back in the kitchen," I said. I felt a little bit snarky saying that. It was a joke and I'd said it that way because of old jokes about women belong there, so I couldn't help it. But the truth was I was going to train Ruth to be a badass so it was cool. I needed her to have exposure in controlled environments where she can't make expensive mistakes too.

"Thanks Jack!" she beamed. Methodically she gives me a small hug and kiss first before going.

"Um...you do know which substances are poisonous to humans right?" I suddenly thought. I should have asked this first. Crap.

"Um...no? I mean...some of them I know but...there's so many," she guessed and looked pleading.

I sighed. Yeah, I better check on that. Yeah she will need chaperoning.

Or...could she be trying to force me to watch her and be with her more?

But if I can work out the kinks, androids rock...

She is still smiling brightly at me, looking like a happy innocent girl.

A real life girl would have made her man grovel and beg before giving him a kiss. Maybe that's why we were being destroyed? Maybe God decided we treat each other like crap and was giving the world to the androids next?

Wel...that's not real, but just a side thought I had.

I can vaguely smell the toaster starting to warm the bread while I test out the cameras and steering mechanism on the vehicle. I even tap and thump the dashboard a few times to make sure that its stable enough to not rattle.

"Jack I'll be back next to you soon. Don't forget me," Ruth called from the kitchen.

Funny...without trying I'd accidentally hooked up the webcam's microphone. So I can see the wheels turn and hear them as I'm rolling the steering wheel back and forth on the computer remote system. This is so freaking cool! Nobody else would think of something like this. There were simple models but nothing with more than one cam and a microphone that I'd heard of.
