Day Five: The next morning was an unseasonable grey. John knew he certainly wouldn't enjoy any outdoor activity without the warmth of the sun and was more than certain that Rodney wouldn't even step outside. So, he cajoled Rodney to show him the program and the algorithm that had detected Skippy's presence, even in a roundabout way. John knew that Rodney was always eager to talk about his brilliant leaps of innovation. And John always loved seeing Rodney sputter in mock-outrage whenever John asked a question that wasn't entirely moronic. This was exactly the kind of temporary retreat from the emotional minefields, the ones they'd already slogged through and what still lay ahead. John also reasoned that, the more he understood of Rodney's program, the better he could sway Alma in promoting it.
