Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

"Madam, he is absolutely under control." - Few tech savvy gentlemen are buzzing around.

"He better be. He is after all," - She brushes through Noahs hair. - "my precious son."

The lady turns on her heels and leaves the room.

One of the engineers speaks up to the person who always sits surrounded by monitors.

"Is she always like that with this thing?"

"She sure is. And newbie," - The man rolls out on his chair, - "Don't call him that. He has a name."

"Name? The Android model Q?" - Engineer checks out the person lying on the bed.

"Yes, name. And the name is Noah."

"I am baffled by what I'm saying, but I miss that loud alfonse." - Trish checks out her new manicure.

"Yeah, it's kind of really quiet without him." - Mary agrees.

"Any ideas where he buzzed off to?" - Trish looks at Grey, who makes lunch for himself.

"No clue. Don't even want to know." - Grey dryly cuts off.

"I get it that you're mad at him, upset and all, but don't you worry about him?" - Trish turns around to look at Grey, her elbow on chairs back.

"Do not care. He is most likely again in partry mode off with models or something." - Grey gets his toasts.

"Really, you're so dead set on playing the cool guy who so happens not to have feelings. Right." - Trish turns around, giving a gesture with her hand.

"I have too much work on my hands, that is already enough. Noah can take care of himself. He is a grown up person, after all." - Grey takes his food and puts on kitchen bar island.

"He sure is loud, but I miss him." - Lilly waters her plants.

Lady looks at him, as a proud parent. The warmth in her eyes worries the staff around her.

She surely is the most extravagant woman they've seen. The creator of such absolutely sublime android, the programme and experiment - they admired her, they feared her.

"Soon my dear darling, soon you'll go back." - Her fingers brushed over Noahs forehead.

"Madam, the capacity of the inner drive must be increased, to complete the update. By our calculations the processing core operating right now is incapable of hosting the needed amount of the new updates." - A young engineer walks over.

She gives him a glance.

"You better not tell me something so outrageous. Nothing will be increased in proportions. I'll make sure to conduct a proper check. Ask Elias for the needed update. Don't go barging with your sausage hands at my boy." - She hisses.

"Yes mam!" - He bows and walks off, doors closing behind.

"Don't worry my dear darling, you'll feel way better soon. I promise." - She kisses Noahs forehead.

"I think he was so upset he left for a trip." - Edgar checks his phone for new messages.

"That's Noah we're talking about. Not to mention how absolutely cold is Grey! Arrgh! I'm so annoyed because of this!" - Mary taps her foot.

"He'll be fine. He'll come home soon." - Grey flips through a book, as he sits on a couch.

"If he does not show up - I'll make sure to dig him up from whenever he might be!" - Mary roars.

Dark night, the moon shines bright in the atrium.

Door opens and Noah walks in. He feels a little lost, his mind is jumbled, head feels heavy.

Grey walks to the kitchen in the same moment noticing Noah.

"So you came back." - He smiles, then sees the desperate fear and anxiety on Noahs face. - "What happened?" - Grey walks over to Noah.

"I'm not myself. I don't know what I am." - Noah cries, as he hugs Grey, burying his face in Greys shoulder.

Grey hugs him back.

"Where were you? What happened?" - Grey sounds concerned, as he tries to show that Noah is safe.

"I'm… I'm not human… I'm not…" - Noah cries.

"What are you talking about? You are the most human human out of all people I know." - Grey strokes gently Noahs head.

"You don't get it… I'm just not human…" - Noah breaks down whimpering, as he clings to Grey.

Grey pulls Noahs face up to look him in the eyes.

"It's alright, you know. No matter what you are. I'm still stuck with you, right?" - Grey touches Noahs forehead.

"Grey, I'm so sorry… Grey…" - Noah keeps on crying, until exhausted and limp falls asleep in Greys hands.
