8 The Forge

"What were you keeping safe here?" Colt asked as she looked around the empty metal room. "I thought it would have gold or diamonds."

"Nah, that is in my vault, this is the super vault here I store something so valuable it can't be bought." I said as I looked to the second pillar holding a locket and two rings made of cheap gold, the third one a photo album placed in a see through glass sealed vault, not even time will have an effect. All pictures are safe in the hard drive beside it. Last but not least a couple of old video cassettes from the old cameras. "But I'd rather not talk about it." Grabbing the USB and plugging it to my tablet I make a copy for the road of both the pictures and the videos. I feel like I might need them soon, if things are going to go the think they are.

"Enough about that, we have to leave and work to do." I said as we stepped out.

"Commander, the cars, they are not sturdy enough. The Bugatti will be turned to shreds the second it gets shot at." I smile as AK15 says what should be right.

"She's right commander."

"Nope, those cars I made them for a reason. All of them are bulletproof; I'm paranoid enough to know if I get attacked on the street all my cars are safe."

"But-"

"But nothing, time to work. I need to start making bullets for each of you. Please send me the specifics for each of your mags. Except the ones I already mentioned." I said as I walked into the forge and placed the important stuff on the dinner table. It took all day, I made several different bullets, corkscrew, armor penetration, exploding bullets, smoke grenades, thermite grenades and enough bullets to supply a small military but that will be needed for the miniguns. Two crates full.

"Commander." The voice of RPK brings me out of my thoughts as I finish up setting up the last belt in the machine. 

"Oh, what is it RPK?" I asked as she walked up to me.

"You've been working for 12 hours and 22 minutes." RPK says with a tone of care. "You need rest."

"No, I don't I'm good. We have time to rest later." I said as I feel wired. 

"Commander, please don't make me call fifteen, she's going to drag you kicking and screaming, also you need food." The moment she said food I felt my stomach grumble.

"I'm good, just one or two hours more and I'll start making dinner." RPK walked up and grabbed my arm.

"Commander, please, if you stay like this it won't help anyone and if you're tired then our plan and your life will be in danger." RPK pleads and she makes a good point, taking off my glasses I notice that she is really pretty up close.

"Fine, I'm coming. Want same as yesterday?"

"Yes, your cooking is really good; it's been a while since I had something from home."

"Home?"

"Well, I'm attuned to the gun that has my name. All of us are named after guns, these guns are part of us while our bodies are our proof of being alive the guns are the other side of our proverbial coin. Everything they go through we also feel it." She said as I noticed she's carrying her gun. 

"So it's a part of you."

"Not a part, it's what makes me complete. One of the few reasons us dolls have to be together with our guns. While yes there are dolls that don't need guns T Dolls aren't complete without their guns."

"It's good to know more of you, I wasn't aware I would be accepting dolls and bodyguards as well."

"I for one am glad; you don't seem like a rich scumbag."

"Wait that's how you saw me?"

"...no." She lied through her teeth I thought they couldn't lie! But the small teasing smile on her lips bring a smile to mine. They are very human like after all.

"I get it, you saw the house, the art and everything that was bought. In my defense I was young and had too much money so I built and bought what I thought looked cool."

"I am not complaining your library is filled with books, your living room has a lot of comfy couches." We arrived at the garage and I can tell that all vehicles are being wired success fully as 12 and AN94 work on the Hummer, while it looks like the Bugatti is being worked on by Colt and Fifteen as the minigun is being welded to the sides.

"Looking good everyone, but let's take a break."

"Thank the lord!" Colt said as the rest stopped working and joined us. 

"Tired?" I asked Colt.

"Not really, mo-wr annoyed than anythin'" Her accent is now pretty clear.

"If we keep working at this rate we'll have everything done in time." Twelve said.

"I can keep working on the Bugatti, that way it would be more efficient and have more time to plan or even leave early." Fifteen said. 

"No fifteen, you will help cooking and you will eat." I said to her which she bit the inside of her cheek and grumbled something about not being efficient.

"I don't think that's the plan Commander has, is it?"

"Ninety-four gets it. Let me explain this over dinner." I said as we repeated the process of yesterday, everyone has a nice dinner.

"My plan is to use the defenses the mansion has, while we escape through the back. The drone will be loaded with explosives and as it crashes down we'll drive through them."

"Is that the plan?" Twelve looks at me with a shocked expression.

"It's simple, and the risk of dying isn't that high." I said with confidence.

"That's an interesting way to do things..." Twelve smiles "You sure are interesting Commander."

"I'm not sure about that, Sangvis Ferri want the core blueprint. But if what I'm thinking is right then they want me alive."

"Why?" RPK asks as she takes a swig of wine.

"They want money, something is happening and they are pushing hard. But enough of that lets clean up." I said as I notice that its 10 PM. beginning to grab my plates I get interrupted as AK 12 actually is helping me gather plates. 

"Let us do it commander. Ninety-four and me can do it you should get some sleep."

"I'm not really sleepy or tired. So, I have an idea... this is going to be tough on all of us, so how about we enjoy a movie?" I say but that again freezes everyone.

"Uh... what?"AN-94 asks with doubt as if she's not sure about what she heard.

"Yeah, you know a movie. It should be fun, make some popcorn, grab a soda and just have fun before going to sleep relaxed."

"Commander, I'm not sure you understand the situation." RPK says to me.

"Come on, maybe tomorrow the world ends, what's better than relax. Take a long shower, grab snacks and a movie?"

"That would be good for tomorrow that way we would be able to work at an increased pace without suffering from overwork or excess stress." Fifteen says to everyone's surprise.
