My day started out, like any other, getting up, and going to work. The date on the calendar, said Friday the 13th, but

I didn’t think much about that. At my job, at the local bank, it was ‘take your android, to work day’. I had my own,

Since I helped, build him,from scratch. All those long, hard, sleepless nights, in the basement, planning, ordering,

And giving life, to my electric friend.

He went everywhere, with me, except work, so this was a special occasion. Off we went, riding the air train, to town,

With my friend Droi. He was very excited, to go with me, and as we rode, he was giving off, small sparks of joy, sending

Reflections of himself, in the window.

We got to the bank, just as the coin users, lined up to enter. That was all, these certain users, did on Friday, was to cash

In the coins. In return, they would get, their choice of Meat, Vegetables, Fruit, or Bread. Milk, and other liquid items, were

Given out on other days, just not on Fridays.

The back place of enter, was just for the job doers, so I flashed my enter card, and we went in. I got to my booth of coins,

And Droi. Sat down next to me. If you can imagine, a droid smile, well, he had the biggest one there.

The users, were starting to enter, with their coins, in heavy, sacks, some pulled by wheel carts, others in jars of clay, waiting

To be freed, from their place. Soon I noticed, that one user, all alone, without any cart, or jar, or actually holding anything,

Entered.

He walked up, to my booth, and showed me his empty, old leathery, wallet, that contained a note, that read ‘ Coins, now,

No speaking necessary, do it now’. I held my breath, and thought, what would Colombo or Kojack do at this time.

The next thing, I saw, was a weapon, being pulled out,from under his tattered old trench coat, by Droi. He saw what this

User, had on his mind, before I did. He was pushed, to the ground, by my metal hero, and we waited for the

Man of badge to arrive.

The rest of the job doers, were cheering, and throwing petals of flower, at us, for saving the house of coins. The boss

Of the house, said that’ Hero, everyday, you can bring Droi here, yet, he can be like you, and be a job doer’

He kindly accepted, the offer he was given, and they went home, with two big smiles not just one.
