“Get the station on the phone.”

“No please? No can you? No would you?”

The Reporter didn’t lower herself to respond.

“You know I am driving here,” said The Cameraman. “You’d be doing yourself the favour.”

“Can’t you see I’m busy?”

And like that, she had applied just a smidgen too much blush.

“Now look what you’ve done, you idiot.”

It was clear the stress was overwhelming.

“Ok, I got Jeff on the line. What do I say?”

“Put it on speaker.”

The Reporter struggled to find symmetry in the colour on her cheeks.

“Jeff?” she said.

“Yeah, what is it?”

Jeff was an assistant producer. They went way back, or so she thought.

“It’s me.”

“Who?”

“Me. It’s me.”

“Look, I don’t have time for this, You got ten seconds. What have you got?”

“A plot to kill hundreds, maybe more. The Engineer and his robot are at the heart of everything. It’s all real. It’s all happening right now.”

Jeff had little time for verbs or prepositions.

“Interviews?”

“Well, no, not yet but…”

“Never come to me without the full story?”

“Explosions and gunfire; and concerned neighbours who never suspected a thing. Interviews goddamnit, interviews!”

“The Doctor is one of the targets.”

“You on the scanner?”

The Reporter made a sour face at her colleague.

“It was left behind. But we’re on our way to The University.”

“University is off-limits. No cameras, no reporters.

“In all due respect, the author of this is…”

“Motel Riviera. That’s where your robot is. There’s your story.”

“But…”

“Explosions, gunfire, interviews.”
