and I’ll pay you?”
    “ I told you I already tried, we need new
parts.”
    “ Oh, you were serious about that?”
    “ You know Dad, I think you’re exploiting my
gifts in order to save on credits.”
    “ I would never do that.”
    “ Yeah right!” said Jade.
    During this discussion Spencer
had taken his eyes off of the traffic for a split second, at which
point their vehicle came to an immediate stop, and prevented a
collision with a pedestrian, who failed to use the proper
crosswalk.
    “ Wow! Quick reaction Dad.”
    “ That wasn’t me, you can thank the onboard
sensors for that one.”
    “ Well, I guess technology isn’t always that
bad now is it?” asked Jade with a smile.
    Spencer ignored the comment and
lowered the window to ask the pedestrian if they were ok, but by
the time he started his sentence the ungrateful person was already
out of hearing distance and never acknowledged what almost
happened.
    “ Wow, I can’t believe someone would just walk
in front of a moving car, almost cause an accident, and leave
without even apologizing,” said Spencer.
    “ You’re kidding right?” asked Jade. “When was
the last time you saw someone apologizing for something they did
wrong?”
    “ I guess that’s one of the many
flaws of humanity, many people don’t take responsibility for their
own actions. I see it more and more every day,” said
Spencer.
    A number of people in their
vehicles, behind Spencer and Jade, started yelling and beeping
their horns.
    “ Hey Dad we need to stop judging the world and
either put this car in auto drive or you drive, but either way
let’s go,” demanded Jade.
    “ Calm down – we’re going, and
stop yelling at me. I’m your father! Show some respect.”
    “ Ok, ok, sorry, can we just go?
Please…”
    “ This just in,” reported
the Public Radio station. “The viral outbreak in Australia has been
contained." Approximately two weeks ago an unidentified virus, now
known as the Weed Virus or the T191 virus, broke out in Darwin and
spread as far as Port Hedland where it is now contained. Sources
indicate the virus had originated from a group of tourists visiting
Australia. Government agencies are not revealing where the tourists
came from, but are assuring the public their geographical origin is
not infected. Currently there is no vaccine for the Weed Virus;
symptoms are numbness, blurred vision, dehydration, and nausea.
Officials are refusing to issue a total number of infected. Dr. Philip Hathaway,
of the International Medical University, is part of the Major
Infection Disease task force in conjunction with the EPA, CDC, and
government officials in Australia. Dr. Hathaway was crucial in the
cure for the Cyrs virus five years ago. The Prime Minister of
Australia will be making an address to the United Nations tonight
in an attempt to request support from other nations. Again the Weed
Virus has been contained.”
    “ I can’t believe there is another
virus spreading so quickly. It’s as if someone is mass-producing
these things. What’s up with these governments? Why can’t they just
tell us where the virus originated? What do you think?” asked
Spencer who was not getting a response. “Hello, you there?” He soon
noticed Jade had her earplugs in once again. “Never mind, you’re
better off not knowing I guess,” sighed Spencer.
    A few minutes later, Spencer heard Jade ask, “Dad,
can you like, drop me off one block from the school?”
    “ Really, why?” asked Spencer.
    “ Well it’s not like I don’t love you it’s just
weird having your dad drop you off at school. You’re not mad are
you?”
    “ No it’s just… never mind, I’ll drop you off a
block from the school.”
    “ Thanks, Dad.”
    “ You’re welcome honey,” said
Spencer with a somber tone.
    “ You are 300 yards from your
destination,” reported the vehicle. Spencer quickly applied the
brake and lowered the vehicle to the ground. Before Spencer could
even say goodbye,
