The cleaner bots

The exit: a crawler into an XL pet carrier, the carrier into a bot's weight-based storage, the bot sold at the shop terminal to Herot's standing order. Suckira (Louis's name) carries Li Na; Ezra Fitz the Second ('Because Ezra Fitz sucks, Carl') and three more carry 227; a sold bot cannot be relisted for thirty days. 'You’re a goddamned hero.'
