Chapter 19 - Act I. Brother’s code

He opens the door of the room, entering the empty grand foyer of the mansion, noticing the golden stairs going to both left and right sides of the second floor.

"Gee.... can you please let me frickin' go already?!" Says Lina loudly. "I'll help you. Just frickin' stop grabbing hold of me!"

"And how will I fuckin' know if you're fooling me or not?" Replies Zick with an angered yet calmer voice.

She sighed. "Ugh... listen you frickin' tin head, know that you think bad of me. But come on! I promised to help you! You know what I am, so why all the bother to save your brother anyway. He is a n~ormal robot proportion wise after all. Even if he is your brother, he probably wished for someone normal unlike us! Even your Uncle Sam doesn't give a flying piss of a frickin' spoon about you!"

Silence surrounded the room. Zick dropped Lina to the ground and grabbed her by the neck with one of his spider arms pointing at her. From the action, fear has risen up Lina's spine and motherboard, making her shake nervously.

"What did you fuckin' say?!" He shouts at her with steam shooting out of he head. "Don't you dare say a THING like that ever again!"

"Then frickin' tell me why! Why would you risk yourself for those n~ormal robots?!" She yelled at him while still shaking.

"Because that means that if he'll find out what he truly is, he'll probably leave me fuckin' alone since we're not brothers! And if that will happen, Sam will also leave. I'll be all alone forever! You fuckin' happy now?!" He shouts while almost destroying his vocal cords.

A surprised expression rises up Lina's face, causing her to look down in an embarrassing mood.

Zick stops having a grip on her as he walks to the stairs and sits on them, saddened by the thought of his words that might come true.

"Why don't you just fuckin' leave huh? Why not just go to your bosses and tell that your prisoner has escaped huh? Why are you not doing any of it huh?" He begins to whine a bit while saying so.

Lina rises up, breathing heavily through her mechanical lungs. "No." She says.

Zick stares at Lina, confused, rising up from the stairs and stands up on both of his hands.

"You seriously don't fuckin' understand do you?" He says loudly Let me explain myself better. If Jack is a pirate then that means he's the bosses's brother! The pirates are brothers after all you know! And it is impossible for me to be related in such a way to the bosses!"

Lina takes a deep breath again. "Or maybe you are." She says nervously as if her scared-like expression wasn't enough for now.

Zick walks towards her. Lifting his head up in question while his mechanical heart beats fast. "What do you mean?" He says with shiver in his voice.

Lina looks up at Zick as he looks down at her while only they fill out the room somehow with no one else around them.

"I know their codes. I clean them as well, not only the mansion. I was fated to be their ���slave" by Mother after all..."

A worried expression rises Zick's face. Being only a few centimeters close to Lina, he leans back and shows his arm to her while his spider arms are holding him up.

She looks at his arm, lifting up his sleeve as she does so. "Gee... your arm is so warm..." she says with a grin rising up her face.

"Ehm. Okay?..." Zick says while gulping his own oily spit down his mechanical throat.

"Oh yeah. The code! Sorry! Let me see now..."

Lina looks at the code on his arm. Having shock filling her body. "I can't frickin' believe this..."

Zick glances at her as she says so, becoming worried and filled with fear as well.

"What? What is it?!" He says loudly.

"Ehm... the Rose boss's code is 002-350-270, the Violet boss's code is 003-230-270. And your code is..."

She lifts his hand, showing the code to him.

"928-045-270." They both say at the same time with a shocked expression.

Zick falls down to the floor, his robotic heart beats as fast as possible.

"What is Jack's code?!" She says quickly.

"He...he... he never showed me... he never fuckin' showed me." Zick says quietly as his expression rises with a bit of terror.

"Then it must end with 270 as well..." she mumbled while grabbing her chin with her claw.

"I... I need a minute... I think I am losing my fuckin' sanity..." he says with stress in his voice. "Why are you helping me? You belong to the bosses anyway right? Why are you fuckin' putting yourself here?"

She sighs. "I don't know..." she says quietly. "I just... think of you as someone special... you are like me yet worked the same job asa normal robot... I just..." she begins to cry suddenly. Covering her face and leaves the grand foyer at high speed.

Zick reaches out for her while she gets away. "Wait! Where are you fuckin' going?!" He shouts but she didn't listen to him, opening a door and shutting it behind her, leaving Zick all alone.

"What the...?" He walks to the door she went through. A golden door with a purple door knob on it. He grabs it with his hand, somehow not being able to open it.

"You can't be serious. She fuckin' locked it. Fuckin' dammit all!" He sighs. "Now how can I find Jack and Sam..."

Zick left Lina behind the door, still in the foyer, he searches any signs or clues for Jack and Sam.

"Ugh... fuckin' damnit! I will never fuckin' find them in this big mansion!" He whimpered. "I probably won't even find the exit like this..."

The young brother sits down on the floor, pulling out a cigar from his right pocket, he begins to smoke a bit while thinking about his brother and his quote on quote uncle and what is going with them.

"Fuck..." he sighs.

The hour is 07:30. After a few minutes of quiet and thought, a bang is suddenly heard. Making Zick turn his head towards the sound. The sound that came from the big wooden golden door in the second floor of the grand foyer of the mansion.

The door exploded as Sam jumped out of there with Jack by his side.

"LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!" the both shout with excitement at the same time.

"What the?!" Zick jumped and grabbed his hat on his head tightly as a reaction from the sudden action. "What the fuckin' hell happened?!"
