"What is there not to love about a computer that helps you with life?" Mom blurted out. She never spoke out of turn, unless they were coming or leaving, or if something was around. "Area clear. No unknown objects on the premises."
Sayomi grinned as they got to the gate. "Mom, Open the gates. Close right after entrance." The gate opened and she slowed down. The gravel that was their drive way could prove tricky to drive with a second person on the back. Within seconds of being inside, the gate was closed. She knew mom could check out side the house limits for objects, but right now, she didn't want to know how many were around.
"Ummm... I am not sure if it is all working. Just because the electricity isn't out just yet, doesn't mean that other things like cell towers and such aren't down." She answered. "We can check when we get inside." As they neared the house, it was obvious why it was chosen. The city underneath was clearly visible, as was most of the area around it, yet at the same time, it was fairly hidden. Slowly coming to a stop, she put the kick stand down once again and climbed off the bike. She took her helmet off, shaking her hair so that it wasn't all over the place. She didn't care if he could see or not what she looked like. She still wanted to feel at least decently looking
"Mom, will you start the coffee pot please?" She took a deep breath. Out here, it seemed like there was nothing going on. Everything seemed normal. Quiet and undisturbed, just like always. If they had the electricity to, they could stay here and wait most everything out, she had faith in mom. But the electricity would go out, and so would the generators at some point.
