What Derek saw was a square grey box with a number of knobs and a switch, with two hoses leading off the side. “This is the cylinder,” she said, p...inting to a plastic tube in her other hand. The tube seemed to have a rubber lining and a small black ring at its bottom, with two nipples on the top of the cylinder ready to be attached to the tubes.Derek had no idea what was going on. “I don’t mean to be stupid, but what…”She smiled reassuringly as she reached for the plastic tubes, brought them. I’m not good at guessing sizes really but it looked one and a half times my brush handle size and fatter too. He could see I was enthralled by it and so asked,“Want to touch it?” OMG did I, so I apprehensively reached out my hand and as I touched it, it sort of jolted upwards taking my breath away and making me pull away my hand as though it was going to bite me. Wayne never laughed at my ignorance but just smiled and said you have to hold it in your hand like this. He wrapped his hand around. "I asked her about Companions in general and what motivates them. She explained how they need to be assigned a client in order to feel complete. She'd never heard of any of them binding of their own accord though." I'm unlike any other Companion in existence. My Infiltrator subroutines augmented my program and allowed me to choose whom to serve." Valerie said that once bound, the changes are irreversible." That's probably true. I've made a permanent commitment to you." What would you have done. I couldn’t help but let out an exasperated sigh when the train suddenly screeched to a halt and it was me being thrown towards her. We both flew in a heap sideways across the subway seats. With a loud thud, she crashed onto the seat next to her, and me on top of her. ‘Ahhhhhh, what the hell!!’ she was clearly not amused. ‘Sorry, I couldn’t catch myself. You ok? Did you get hurt?’ ‘Well, I’m definitely awake. Wide awake. Damn, my head!’ she replied rubbing her head where it had made impact with.
