K-9 the Robot Dog

Sarah jane turned around suddenly as the doorbell rang. She put down the letter from Dr. Fredick Who, and walked over to the door to greet the delivery man, who was standing outside, not looking that happy.

“Ms. Sarah Jane?” The man asked irritably.

“Yes” Sarah Jane replied. She quickly thought back to the letter as the man went back to his truck and wheeled a large box to the front door.

“Sign here please.” The man snapped, shoving a clipboars towards her. She signed it, pulling the package into the house and slamming the door.

She was nervous, not wanting to open it. The return labe loated on the box matched the name from the letter, and Sarah Jane slowly opened the package. She ripped off ine side of the box, and packing peanuts scattered onto the floor. She moved more of the peanuts to the side, revealing something inside.

Detecting her movements, the object pushed its way out of the box, lights flashing and ears spinning.

“Why me?” Sarah Jane asked, watching K-9 roam around the room.
