[shutdown]

Sorry this has taken so long but i've had some interuptions in my life and I couldn't get to finish this chapter. But I hope you'll like it I tried to get into as much detail as I can which is something i've never been good at.

The Truck Driver Continues Part One

Arriving home after my latest trip I decided to take a break from driving. Turning off the truck I reached to the passenger seat and turned off Jenny before heading into the house. Being 10 o’clock at night I was making my way to my bedroom as I had something to eat only a few hours before and wasn’t in the mood for anything else besides sleep. Climbing under the covers it wasn’t long before I drifted off to sleep.

“WARNING. YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD.”

I awoke with a start and looked down I noticed my sheets were soaking wet. Wiping the sweat from my face I looked out the window and saw that it was morning. Getting up I decided to get some breakfast before I do anything else today. As I was having my toast and coffee a thought hit me. I got up and grabbed the phone book and began flicking through the pages until I found the number I was after. I reached for the phone and glanced at the clock on the wall to make sure it was after 9am. Since it was I dialled the number and after a few minutes talking, I got an appointment for around noon today. Feeling like this was a good idea I head back to the table to finish my breakfast before heading to the shower.

At 11 o’clock I decided to get ready for my appointment so putting on a pair of jeans, a loose shirt and some sneakers. I grabbed my keys and headed out to the truck. Locking the door I walked into the sun and was hit with a wave of heat as I stepped out of the shade of the roof. The walk to the truck was not long but the heat was very draining. I realised then that I should’ve put on a hat or a cap. I was relived when I reached the shade of the truck. I opened the door and climbed in and was instantly wishing I hadn’t climbed in so quickly as it was hotter in there then it was outside. Wanting to get out of there as quickly as I could I reached over and activated Jenny. Leaving the door open I waited for her to go through her start up. After 30 seconds she came online.

“PLEASE INPUT DESTINATION.” She said the same as she always does whenever I turn her on.

“We are not taking the truck today Jenny. Hop out and follow me.” I commanded her.

Watching her taking off her seat belt and opening the door and climbing down I followed suit and got out as well. I walked around to the front and was hit with the heat wave from before but this time it didn’t have the same effect as before. As I reached the front Jenny arrived from the passenger side and we both headed for the garage on the side of the house. Opening the roller door I instruct Jenny to get in the passenger seat as I climb into the drivers side. Before I could place my thumb onto the ignition pad Jenny spoke her usual request.

“PLEASE INPUT DESITATION.” Her volume was a bit louder then it was in the truck.

“Not today.” I said as I reached over and turned her off again.

Starting the car and making sure the air con I backed it out of the driveway and making sure the door closed and that we were both buckled in I drove down my driveway for the 30 minute trip into town. The trip into to town went uneventful apart from the usual idiot driver speeding. Which is just plain stupid and dangerous but hey if he wants to end his life that much sooner it’s ok with me. It just means there’s one less for me to worry about plus I’ll guarantee he won’t be driving anytime after a fatal crash.

As I wound my way through the streets watching the road ahead of me to make sure there weren’t anything I could hit or get hit by when suddenly I pulled into the parking area of my destination. Getting out of the car I walked around to the other side of the car and activated Jenny. Being in the car even with the door open I wasn’t ready for her volume as she announced her start-up sequence. The ringing in my ears continued well after I had her unbuckled and was leading her into the shop so much so that I was trying to clear my right ear out with my little finger as I approached the counter.

“Hi! ... Are ... today?” Was all I could hear with my figure still in my ear and not really paying attention to anything in particular.

Not to seem impolite I held up a finger and replied “Sorry. One moment please” as I tried to finish my current task at hand. “Ah! That’s better” I said removing my finger. I finally got to look up at who was addressing me and found myself staring at a beautiful pair of blue eyes. As my eyes started to focus away from the startling blue I finally got to see the rest of the features. Not only was it the eyes but the rest was amazing with light blonde hair mid length hair but a smile that lit up a room. This person was beauty to behold. Her face looked like it had been crafted by an artist with the hands of a surgeon. Once I realised what I was doing I finally snapped back.

Once she realised I was back and had her full attention did she ask her question again. Clearly not bothered by my staring. “Hi! How are you today?” she asked again.

With much more composure “A lot better now thanks.” I replied with a smile. “I have an appointment to speak with Mr Anderson. My name is Andrew Stevens.”

“Ah yes Mr Stevens. I’ll tell him that you have arrived.” She answered and with that turned and proceeded out through the double doors behind her. Not wanting to seem like a perve I took Jenny by the arm and led her to a couple of seats near the counter. Sitting her down I took the spot next to her and waited.

The receptionist returned to her spot at the counter just as I took my seat. Not wanting to seem overly interested I started looking out at the cars driving up the street trying not to look back at the counter. A few minutes later the sound of the doors opening and a voice saying “Mr Stevens. How may I help you today?” broke me from starting to car the cars driving up and down the street.

“Ah yes as told you when we spoke on the phone I hoping you could help me with Jenny here?”
I said getting up to reach for the hand offered to me and pulling Jenny up to stand with me at the same time.

“Why don’t we head into my office and we can discuss what you need.” He replied as we shook hands and we were led into the back.

Heading to the first office on the left he offered us a seat as he went around the desk and sat down.

“So what exactly is the problem with Jenny? I was asked.

I went on to explain the problems I’ve having with her as he sat there making notes on his computer.
After I was finished it was his turn to ask some questions.

“Has she been kept up to date with all her updates and patches.” He asked raising and eyebrow.

“Of cause. I can’t driver my truck unless she is. It’s against the law for her to be lapsed in her updates and patches.” I replied irritably as I’m not one to let making money get in the way of safety that’s just plain idiotic to me and it costs more in the long run not too.

“Ok then. Is there anything else you’d like us to do to her for you?” He asked after he found out that was irritated by his last question.

“Um.” Was all that immediately came to mind. After a couple of minutes thinking I thought well why the hell not, it’s worth a try. “Um. Could you make her more human?” I asked hopefully.

“Of cause. Now what kind of human do you want her to be? A Sexbot or Maid or even a Companion? He asked as he raised his arms up to cup his hands behind his head.

“I think a Companion would be perfect. Someone I can chat to on my routes would be great.” I replied with the biggest grin I could muster in ages.

“Ok then let’s get started shall we. It’ll take about a month to do all the work so I’ll see you in a months time shall we.” He said as he raised himself out of the chair to come around and shake my hand one last time before he escorted me through the double doors and out to the front of the shop.

Walking back around to the front of the shop I got a look at the girl at the counter and I thought I saw a cable running down from the bottom of her skirt to the floor but she turned to greet me again and it made me think that I must be seeing things as she waved me out the door.

Getting into the car for my drive home I started to imagine what my truck would be like now that Jenny is getting her upgrades. As I pulled into my driveway I started think on what I would do for a month now that I couldn’t drive until I got Jenny back. I decided to finally do the work to the house that I had put off for so long now that I had the time.
