CODE X 777

C O D E 4 M E C H A N I C

Jimmy Valentine was declared dead since his body wasn't found inside the water even after three days of searching. The news said that he was kidn*pped by a girl and when the police chased them, she got fearful of getting caught and decided to commit suicide by driving the car into the East River from the Manhattan Bridge.

Jimmy and Asselyum watched the news in the laptop while Slaine struggled to unleash the ropes around him as he sat on the chair. Jimmy agreed to stay with Asselyum-- After all, he had been waiting to go on an adventure for a long time now. He was tired of the same old, boring New York life.

At that point, Slaine was the only logical one there—Someone who deeply cherished his life to lose it to a stranger.

"Tell me one f*****g thing—Why don't you untie me?! It's been a friggin' week!" Slaine shouted as he struggled. Jimmy was eating a full meal of chicken and mayo sauce while Asselyum was working on a laptop.

"Untie me! I wanna go pee!" Slaine shouted.

"Just do it near the corner, we won't stare," Asselyum said.

"We definitely won't," Jimmy assured him but his efforts were in vile.

"Hey, by the way, can you unlock its password? I was trying it for the past twenty minutes but it just doesn't work." Asselyum looked at him.

"Are you a f*****g retard? Who forgets their own password?!" Slaine yelled.

Jimmy slowly raised up his hand.

"... Why am I not surprised? Blondes." Slaine rolled his eyes.

"By the way, Asselyum," Jimmy looked at her "Can androids die?"

"Androids don't die, they can only be dismantled or their battery can be removed."

"I really need to use the bathroom urgently, please lemme out!" Slaine shouted. He sounded very angry and somehow his New York accent became more dominant in anger.

"I told you just—"

"I can't!"

"Have you never done it outside your house? I mean near the footpath or places where there are no people? Have you never done it surrounded by nature?" Jimmy asked.

"I...I have, but that's only for emergencies." Slaine was evidently embarrassed.

"This too is an emergency. What if you run?" Jimmy definitely didn't care.

"Why would I?"

"... You literally ran away every time we unleashed you to go pee. The condition is so bad that now I have to stand behind you with a g*n while you pee," Jimmy complained.

"Yeah so?"

"Firstly, you pee a lot. You go to the bathroom at least fifteen times a day!"

"You actually count?"

"Thing is—Now the situation is so bad that I've seen your d**k more times than I've seen a vagina."

"...Admit it, you're f*****g gay."

"It's called 'bromance'"

"Doesn't matter what you call it. If it's gay—it's gay."

"How did we jump to my sexuality from your pee?"

"Because you decided to bring up my d**k into the conversation."

"Because I believe you pee with your d**k, correct me if I'm wrong."

Slaine was now annoyed, "I'm stopping myself from cracking a blonde joke." He said.

"I found the next partner." Asselyum looked into the laptop "Quickly go to the bathroom and do your business, then catch up with me, I am heading straight towards him before he disappears again."

Jimmy grabbed the g*n and followed Slaine to the bathroom. Slaine stood inside the bathroom as Jimmy stood behind him.

"Hey, blondie," Slaine called him out while doing his business.

"I have a name," Jimmy said.

"I don't care. Have you ever held a g*n before you met her?"

"Nope, never the real ones at least."

Slaine tucked his elbow on Jimmy's hand and the g*n fell down. Jimmy quickly bent to pick it up but Slaine was gone.

"Slaine! Asselyum!" Jimmy shouted as he ran out of the bathroom too. Asselyum had already left in search of Axel, their mechanic. Slaine grabbed his skateboard and ran out of the basement.

"Ha, the breeze and the smell of s**t— How I missed it." He rode back through the Manhattan Bridge towards the city. He felt that he was free again as he walked into the crowd. New York was so huge— She could never find him again! He felt hungry and suddenly he saw a kid jumping right over him. There was a huge explosion in one of the bank buildings.

Asselyum jumped out and flew to another building. Everyone took out their phones to record it.

"What was that?"

"Was she really flying?"

"I think they might be shooting a movie around somewhere here,"

But Slaine saw something at the top of one of the skyscrapers—a kid. Suddenly, a huge metal tank fell from above. It was just 2 centimetres away from Slaine. He froze right there. Asselyum turned back and looked at him "Hey, what are you doing there? Come help me!" She ordered.

"I almost died!" He shouted.

"I don't care. Now get here!"

"Why did I run into her again?" They ran inside the building. It was filled with smoke and dust and it became difficult to breathe, "This is a master plan to invite asthma to your body," He complained as he coughed. "Neither I can see nor breathe."

His eyes were red and he was continuously coughing. Asselyum looked at him for some time, then picked him. "I'll give you a princess ride, just wait a little more, hold tight." She dashed towards the terrace. When they finally reached the terrace, she met a boy standing there. She opened the computer in her eye screen and said "Axel."

He turned towards her. He had dark hair and light green eyes. He didn't even seem to have hit his puberty but he was a congenital kleptomaniac.

"How do you know my name? FBI?" He asked.

"You're good with machines, right?" Asselyum asked.

"Yeah?"

"I'm collecting a group of highly talented individuals for something great and I want you there."

"No thanks, I'll go play Fortnight."

"I'm here from the future to prevent a huge disaster."

"What the hell are you talking about? Do you know how suspicious you look asking me all that while you're carrying a dead man into your arms?"

"He's not dead...I think."

"Sorry but I'd rather play Minecraft. Hope we never meet again." Axel switched his boots to skates and jumped down from the building. Asselyum followed him down. He was skating on the walls! She, however, was flying on her jet boots. He looked at her boots "Wow, I need to have those."

She grabbed his collar and threw him on another building. He crashed into the glass and fell on a computer as all the employees in that office got up and looked at him. He was bleeding as she walked towards him "You're taking me as a joke, I'm a killing machine." He got up "What do you want? You're definitely not from the police."

She leaned down as everyone stared at them "Actually, I'm worse."

She grabbed his hair and dragged him to the broken window. Then, she grabbed his legs and held him upside down on the window. He was terrified as he looked down. "You want to go down or come with me?"

"Pick me up!" Axel shouted.

"Answer."

"I'll come with you, please pick me up!"

And she pulled him up. They heard the sirens of the police and held him into his arms.

"Hold tight."

"What?!"

She jumped out of the window towards the terrace of another building. Everyone came to the window but she was gone.

"What was that?..."

She reached the same terrace from where they had left and threw axel on the floor. Slaine was still sitting unconscious with his back against the wall.

"You're a freak." Axel rubbed his butt as he got up.

"I'm an android—Precoid version."

"Give me proof"

"Sure," She started unbuttoning her shirt. Axel blushed "What the f**k—This is harassment but it actually ain't that bad..."

"Look," She turned back, standing in her brasserie and her shorts "Touch my back."

"I hope you're not arrested after this." His hands were shaking as he slowly moved them towards Asselyum and gently touched her backbone.

Suddenly, her back became transparent and her insides were visible, which consisted of many wires, chips and tiny computers. All that was lighted with blue coloured light, the same as her eyes.

"Wow. Cool!"

"Can you handle this?"

"This is beautiful! I never have seen anything like this!" He moved his hands away from her skin and her back was back to normal. She turned towards him.

"So, you're a robot, huh? You look nothing like one. This is crazy!"

"This is future tech," Asselyum said.

"I really want to see more of it," Axel said. Slaine was up by then and clapped "Wow! We've got another p*****t here. And this time it's a kid,"

"Who is this mf?" Axel asked.

"You look like you're forcing her to strip. As I woke up, I found myself in a r**e scene of some p**n movie, should I faint again?" Slaine asked.

"No, I was just ensuring something!" Axel explained himself.

"Ensuring what? Your creepy fetishes?"

Asselyum began putting on her shirt again. "Which kind of work does this weirdo does, anyway?" Slaine asked Asselyum.

"He's a mechanic. Axel, can you do me?" Asselyum asked him. Axel blushed and Slaine shouted "Man- What the f**k! I'm literally not ready for paedophilia and I never will be."

"I mean, I should be able to. I'm not very sure" Axel seemed confused.

"You're a kid, bro," Slaine said.

"Really? How old are you anyway?" Axel asked.

"I'm eighteen," Slaine replied.

"You look like an adult in his twenties," Axel said.

"Are you on stupid pills?"

By this time, Asselyum went ahead and sat in a corner, looking at their "friendly" conversation. "So, that's how past humans introduce each other," She mumbled "Interesting."

"What are you doing over here, on the terrace of a burning building? Shouldn't you be at school? 'Cause you definitely look like a primary schooler."

"I'm not a primary schooler, I'm thirteen!"

"That doesn't change the fact that you should be in school. What are you doing here?"

"I'm a burglar, I sneaked inside the bank but somehow they found me, and hence I had to use my gunpowder." Axel rubbed his nose proudly.

"What the—Burglary? Your d**k hasn't even learned to stand up yet bruh—What are you doing with your life?"

"You're not my dad."

"Did your parents ever beg you to run away from home?"

"Do you have something personal with me?"

"I hate all kids!"

"Alright." Asselyum got up from the corner "Introduction is hence over. Let's began the work of finding the other partner."

"How many of us are there?!" Slaine shouted, "We never seem to end!"

"This will be the last one and the most difficult too."
