know! Can’t a guy complain
once in a while?”
“ I suppose, if he wants more of the same,”
countered Reece.
Spencer decided to change the subject and conveyed,
“I have an important favor to ask you. Actually it’s more than a
favor.”
“ What is it?” asked Reece.
“ If for some reason anything ever
happened to me, would you become Jade’s guardian? Now, I know
that’s a lot of responsibility and you’re a busy person. I just
want to make sure she has a place and someone to go to if needed.
You know you are the closest thing she has to a second parent, even
though you don’t stop by as much as you used to.”
Reece took a moment and followed
up with, “First, I never stop by because you’re never home. Second,
of course I’ll take Jade in if something happens. I’m honored you
think of me as a parent figure, but we don’t need to worry about
this because nothing’s going to happen,” replied Reece with
confidence.
“ Of course not, I’m just trying to be one of
those responsible adults.”
“ So, do I need to sign something?” asked
Reece.
“ No, you’re all set. I had my
will completed three months ago and included you as the
caretaker.”
“ You already took care of this before
asking?”
“ Yeah, I knew you would say yes.”
“ That’s a big assumption.”
“ I didn’t think so.”
“ Well, you’re lucky I’m such a great guy,”
replied Reece.
“ That I am,” smiled Spencer.
As they pulled up in front of the
health market, Spencer realized there were no parking spots near
the entrance, but did notice one across the street, so he
maneuvered an illegal U-turn and grabbed the open spot.
“ Well look at you, you’re just a little stunt
driver,” commented Reece.
“ I can drive when I need to. Are
you going to wait here or are you coming in?”
“ I’ll stay here. I want to check
in on Adam.”
“ Ok, I’ll be right back. Also,
think about where you want to go for lunch.”
“ Will do,” said Reece as he
pulled up a holoscreen.
Spencer exited the car and
quickly headed towards the crosswalk, where he stood and waited for
the crossing sign to give him the ok. Once he received the green
light, he started crossing with the rest of the crowd. He soon
noticed a vehicle heading towards an elderly woman who was crossing
from the opposite direction. Spencer yelled to this pedestrian, but
she did not hear him. The crowds of people around Spencer were too
busy either listening to their music or talking on their electronic
devices to notice what was going on.
Spencer continued to yell, but to
no avail, so he ran towards her, dodging numerous techno zombies,
and pushed her out of the way of the oblivious oncoming driver.
Once he realized she was safe, he looked up and noticed Serafina
smiling at him from across the street. Elated that he had once
again found her and that she was giving him her full attention, he
redirected all his energy towards her. Spencer was no longer
focused on his immediate surroundings and failed to realize he was
now in the path of a second unaware operator. As Spencer was about
to yell to Serafina, the oncoming vehicle struck him head on.
Spencer was lifted off the ground and propelled over the hood. The
front of his face smashed into the windshield and created a large
spider web pattern which gave him severe lacerations. The vehicle
came to a quick stop which caused Spencer’s body to be thrown back
onto the pavement headfirst. Once he made impact the back of his
skull cracked open as if it were as thin as an ordinary
eggshell.
Reece had been conversing with
Adam via a holoscreen when he looked up and saw Spencer lying in
the middle of the road completely immobilized, while a pool of
blood formed around his upper body. He quickly jumped out of the
vehicle and ran towards Spencer. The elderly woman who Spencer was
able to push out of the way was just getting up and slowly pieced
together what had occurred. The crowd of pedestrians continued
