`` What are you doing, AL? Are n't you supposed to be at work?'' John shouted at the black metallic frame as he walked down the stairs, still in his pajamas. It was a Monday and AL should have been the office, not sitting in his living room, a newspaper in his hands. 
 
 AL rotated this head towards his owner, a series of lights flashing across his face. `` Ah Master John, you'd be happy to hear this. I have just hired another AI helper to perform my job for me. He'll be earning your pay now.'' 
 
 John looked confusedly at AL. His supposed AI helper. `` What do you mean, you hired a helper? You're supposed to be my helper!'' 
 
 `` But Master John, I have my own money now. According the Equality Act, AI helpers are eligible to hire their own helpers, provided if they have the money.'' 
 
 John eyed his robot curiously, as he slowly made his way to the cabinet next to his kitchen. `` And where are you getting the money from, AL?'' he asked. 
 
 AL had turned his attention back to the newspaper now. `` Simple! With the new pay raise at work, my pay have increased as well, giving me extra money to hire this helper.'' 
 
 `` And how much is this new helper charging specifically?'' John asked. He carefully pulled out the secret compartment behind the cabinet, his left hand searching for the familiar feel of metal. 
 
 `` Only three hundred dollars, sir!'' AL piped out excitedly. 
 
 `` Great,'' John simply replied, before a gunshot rang in the house. In John's hands was a Glock, the barrel still hot. A bullet hole tore through the head of AL, who's body was now slumped against the table. 
 
 `` Guess I'll hire your helper and save more money for myself then.''
