I stood there with the kid for an hour while he cried a river. Soon two men and a woman came in a van. The men grabbed the body and threw it into the van while the woman attempted to pry the kid off my leg. After seeing my armor she assumed i was a prime, gave me a card and told me to call her when he settled down. Then all 3 hopped into their van and sped off. Now I'm in an apartment 3 blocks away the kid had taken the key off his mother's body and led to me where he lived. It wasn't the best structure, with the mold and cracks in the walls, but it had 1 bedroom and a living room with one couch and a functioning TV. After making himself a sandwich from the ingredients in the fridge he told me about how his mom worked in a factory on tier 4 run by a tier 2 businessman trying to take advantage of cheap labor. His mom would sometimes bring home broken parts and he would fix them together (why they had a TV and a fridge). I found out the community center wasn't empty but the place I had entered usually wasn't inhabited due to how close it was to gang life. He also said the Robots I was looking for had gone an adventure and never came back. They left the center soon after due to small life corruption. Due to the fact that they were walking distance from the community center they were usually safe in their home. Or maybe it was because some of the toughest gang leaders in the slum held operation meetings in the upper floors and in exchange for protection against small time thugs their mom cooked meals for the men. After finishing his sandwich he went to the living room picked up a book and made a tick mark on the back cover. A tear welled up in his eye but after seeing me in the room. He sniffled ad continued his explanation. The reason he knew so much about fixing things was because one of the thugs upstairs was a gun and weapon tech smuggler and saw him as a protégé. He said I could probably go to him to get my battery fully charged. I then pointed out the fact he never even told me his name. He told me to call him Ben. He got off the couch and rummaged behind the TV before finding a black metal can. He popped open the lid and showed me some money. The currency was unknown to my database so I asked him how much it was. He said around a 100,000 Imperial Dollars. He said they got most of it when the gang leader came to visit and stayed in the bedroom with his mom for a LONG time. He told me now that I was going to live with him I needed to find a way of making money so they could get the money they needed to move to tier 4. Then he stopped talking went into the bedroom area locked the door and I started hearing more sobs. I went into sleep mode so that more memory could be used for self diagnostics. 30 minutes later I was awoken by a soft knock on the door followed by 2 hard knocks then another soft one. The bedroom door opened and Ben came out and said "Who's there?". The voice at the door responded by saying "Jacques!". At this Ben opened the door and a tall Asian man stood in the door. "The boss wants to see you. Bring the prime."
