information on Cybertronic Solutions’ website,” Andi stated. “The Model CS98 Pleasure Droid can perform limited surface area cleansing to eliminate semi-solid and liquid waste through absorption. This is especially beneficial in multiple partner situations for the removal of expended body fluids. The waste is collected inside subdermal reservoirs and disposed of during normal sanitation procedures.”
“ Hmpf . That’s interesting,” I muttered, the spark of an idea forming in the back of my mind. “Okay, resume playback.”

“Oh, wow,” Wolfe wheezed, as he fell heavily onto the couch, panting. Sweat had already begun to form on his forehead. “I think I need a minute or else I’m only gonna be a minute.” He chuckled at his own joke and Kelly did too.
“Mistress Paxton authorized the use of aerosolized erection enhancements,” the droid’s voice echoed. “You’ve already purchased the product; do you wish to use it at this time?”
“Yeah. You’re just too good, girl.”
“Only because you’re so good to me,” she replied in one of the thousands of clichéd phrases likely loaded into her database.
The silly banter between a paying client and his robotic call girl went on for a few more seconds until Kelly asked again if he’d like to use the ED drug. “Yes, I authorize the use of the drug Amplify, which I purchased at the front desk.”
“And?” she prompted in a tone that reminded me of a school teacher.
“And I’ve read the provided information on possible side effects.”

I was glad to see that The Digital Diva followed city and state laws requiring the customer to declare that they understood what they were doing; less paperwork for me. ED aerosols were relatively harmless, but long-term debilitating effects such as the loss of libido and sterilization had been reported. Thanks, late night television for forcing me to memorize that statement.
Kelly’s opposite hand came into view, causing me to wonder if the self-cleaning also got rid of smells or only the substances on the surface. I’d have to ask Paxton Himura that question. She flexed her wrist and a small puff of mist sprayed into Wolfe’s face. He inhaled deeply and smiled.
Somewhere nearby, music began playing. The music was the same techno crap that they played at the thumper clubs elsewhere on The Lane. The room whirled through the camera’s lens and the view became slightly disorienting as Kelly danced slowly for him at first and then began a frenzied pace. Her view bobbed up and down, the picture across the way becoming indistinct with her movements.
I felt my stomach lurch once again and ran to the sink in the kitchen. “Andi, pause,” I grumbled and waited for the crap in my stomach to come up.
The watery feeling in my mouth never materialized, but I stood there for an extra minute to make sure. The sensation of nausea subsided. Maybe I need some clean water in my system instead of coffee.
Two glasses of water and three aspirin later I was ready to go back to the video. I sat back roughly into the dining room chair. “Resume playback.”
“Are you sure you wouldn’t like to take it easy for a few hours, boss? You can view these video files any time.”
“I’d love to take it easy,” I replied. “But this killer is out there, without anyone on his tail. I can’t afford to take the day off.” That jogged my memory. “Wait, don’t I have something going on tonight?”
“You are scheduled for your weekly dinner with the Khalil family at 6 p.m. tonight.”
“That’s right. I want to get this video reviewed and my notes in order so I can relax with Amir and Amanda.”
The speaker set into the dining room wall emitted Andi’s equivalent of a sigh. “Resuming playback now.”
“Thanks, Andi… Hey, I promise I’ll take it easy, alright?”
“Okay. I don’t want to hear you complain when you come down sick from exhaustion.”
