Sheriff Jack Carter got out of his jeep, thinking soon he wouldn't have a car or a job and would no longer be Sheriff. He'd have to tell Lexi and Zoe soon but first he had to break the news to someone else. Not really someone else but something else. He had to tell his house. He had no idea how the bunker would take it. The last time he had considered leaving, SARAH had taken him and a bunch of others hostage. She would be able to do that this time because he had a manual override and the escape hatch through the sky light. However she took it, it wasn't going to be pretty.
Jack entered the door to the bunker and made his way down the steps. He stopped before the front door. He thought for a second, “Maybe if I tell her she won't be alone. That I'll make sure someone moves in when I'm gone. Maybe then she won't take it so hard.” With hat cheery thought he stepped on to the welcome mat and waited as SARAH opened the door.
“Welcome home, Sheriff Carter,” greeted the bunker's cheerful voice.
Jack went in to the kitchen. “Beer me, SARAH.”
The fridge automatically dispensed a glass of Jack's favorite beer at the perfect temperature. “Something on your mind, Sheriff?”
Jack took the beer and flopped down on the couch. “Yes, SARAH. Some thing's on my mind and I don't know how to tell you,” Jack answered the house.
“Tell me what?” demanded the bunker.
“I go fired today. I don't know how much longer they will let me live in town,” Jack rushed.
SARAH didn't respond so Jack continued, “But if I'm kicked out of town, I'll make sure that they get someone else to live here so you won't be alone again.”
“Thank you, Sheriff Carter. I don't know why they'd fire you. You want me to fry their computer's circuits?” suggested the Self Actuated Residential Automated Habitat.
Jack set up startled. “You can do that?”
“Yes, Sheriff. I'm networked into Global Dynamics's computer network. Just say the word and their computer is toast,” bragged the house.
“No, but thanks for the thought,” Jack replied. “Now if you don't mind, I'd like to watch the game and forget for a while I'm out of a job.”
“Sure thing,” SARAH said as she put the game on the screen.
Jack relaxed as the theme music for the sports show started. SARAH seemed to handle that ok. Maybe he'd be able to leave town without a catastrophe.
