Incredible science fiction story, full of action and emotion until the end. This story is part of a series of stories that take place in the same universe.
When Patrick Allen went to negotiate in the black market of androids, he did not know that The corporation he had stolen from, contacted all the traffickers, making them an offer difficult to refuse, for delivering the young criminal.
It happened two days after the attack at the mall, where the police could only get statements from one of the security guards. They made a spoken picture of the two women involved and when the directors of the corporation saw the news, they knew it was the latest model of the androids, which was stolen from them by the daring Patrick.
At first the young thief didn't want to say where he hid the android, he was a tough man, the blows that the head of security, Vladimir Sucarov, gave him all over his body, couldn't make him talk. Captain Castillo, a security advisor with strong contacts with the government, took over the interrogation and operation. Using a new synthetic serum that produced unimaginable pain, she obtained all the information she needed. The captain ordered Sucarov to assemble the assault team, they already had the location of the android.
Twenty black vans left the corporation, followed from the sky by two DXCTM-998 helicopters, equipped with explosive drones. In one of them was Captain Castillo giving the orders. The movement of vehicles and aircraft did not go unnoticed. The anti-robot movement, led by Mark Wilson and Dillon Baker, had been monitoring the site since the mall bombing. They realized that they were on an important mission, they surely knew where the android was, they also wanted to find it to destroy it. Wilson gave his team the order to follow the vans and the helicopters.
At the regional office of the FBI, Agent Melinda Sterling was alerted to the vehicles that left Occinox, heading towards the outskirts of the city. She had an argument with corporate security, she was in charge of capturing the culprits. She was the representative of the law and would not let the private company take on the role of vigilante.
Leila Allen and the female android were inside a small bunker under the cabin. They had been hiding in that place for a week, after the altercation with the security guards at the mall, they tried to contact Patrick, but he never answered the calls. Leila decided they'd go down to the underground hideout. It was a safe place, they had a secret passage to another compartment with a propellant capsule, which could be moved up to two miles from the place, the problem was that it was only for one person.
Helicopters flew over the cabin, leaving six drones in the way that approached the structure, surrounding it. The Captain noted that there were surveillance cameras outside the cabin. She trying to negotiate with Leila. We know you have what belongs to us! We don't want to hurt you. Give us the android and we'll leave you alone. The Captain was expecting a response, but no one was communicating. Vladimir Sucarov was already in position, with the small army of fifty men, to take the hut by storm. The whole place is under siege. I repeat, leila, come out and hand over the android, you have three minutes to do so, otherwise we will blow your cousin Patrick's head off.
Leila saw Patrick on the surveillance cameras, his face disfigured by the blows. Sucarov was pointing an automatic weapon at his head. She had to get out, she told the android to get into the capsule, she would come out to entertain them, so she could escape. She would use the same identity as her, she was the new Leila. I love you! Whatever happens, find your place in this world, you have my memories, my memories, I will always be with you. And remember, you're special.
Leila gave the android a hug and opened the exit to get out of the bunker, she did it so fast that she didn't realize that the robot, didn't activate the capsule, on the contrary, she got out of the capsule and stayed watching what was happening through the security cameras.
Let him go! First leave him alone and I'll give you what you want. Leila was behaving very bravely in front of the army of men who were pointing guns at her. The captain again ordered her to hand over the android and the girl again answered that she should let go of her cousin. I'm tired of this, said Sucarov, shooting at Patrick. Leila threw herself into the cabin, lying on the ground, listening to the rain of bullets that passed through the house.
Sucarov's men came closer and closer to the entrance, as the bullets tore through the walls of the hut. It would take them only a few minutes to recover the android, but they were hit by explosive rockets. The trucks were blown to bits and several men were killed in the explosion. The anti-robot terrorist group launched an attack on the men of the corporation.
Sucarov began firing towards the place where the rocket appeared. The place became a war zone, with both sides facing each other. One of the helicopters dodged a rocket. The captain was on the other helicopter. From the heights, she saw Sucarov fall dead, when another rocket exploded just a few meters from the soldier. Let's get away from here and activate the explosive drones!, she ordered the pilot.
The anti-robot movement was emerging victorious from the attack. Dillon Baker was the leader of the attack. He communicated by satellite phone with Wilson, informing him they were about to find the android, when suddenly, he heard the voice of Agent Sterling. A convoy full of agents from the FBI, Homeland Security and local police arrived from the side, surrounding the entire attack command. The terrorists responded with fire. A new confrontation took place. Dillon Baker was shot four times, dying immediately.
Leila was wounded in the leg, crawling inside the cabin. The android opened the hatch and came up. What are you still doing here? You had to leave! I'm calling Leila to the robot. The android was crying, he wanted it all to be over. Full of rage she went outside the cabin, where a group of Sucarov's men were still, defending themselves from the bullets of the terrorists and the police. The android used the infrared waves it emitted to take control of the automatic weapons, causing them to shoot at each other. The place looked like a country at war, it was a massacre.
The android heard the noise of the drones, which stopped around the cabin. The robot tried to control them, but couldn't get past the security system. They were explosive drones, with analog devices controlling them. They'd blow the whole place up. The captain had orders to destroy everything if the mission failed.
Go now! The android ran into the bunker, opened the capsule compartment, and in a second everything would be destroyed. The moment I was about to press the button on the capsule, the drones activated the explosives. The whole thing looked like a fireball. The fire reached the capsule, destroying part of the synthetic skin of the face, the pain of the burn made it go back, hitting the inside of the head, where the memory was installed. The android was unconscious inside the capsule, which shot out of the place, the robot that everyone was looking for, managed to escape.
Agent Stirling won a victory. Several terrorists were captured and one of the leaders was dead. She also had all the evidence of the military command that the corporation had sent to retrieve it had been stolen. She called for ambulances and reinforcements, that irresponsible action would have consequences. She was the one in charge of the investigation and she would be the one to bring justice.
