Truth behind the mission

It was a dark night and Mr.J was still out. I had been eyeing him for three days now, but found nothing. There was just nothing special about the guy. He worked 9 to 5, always went to the same bar and came home early. But tonight was different. He was doing something in the park.

I hid behind a tree, watching him smoke a cigarette. Looking closer, I could see he was crying. I gasped, holding a hand over my mouth. 'Why is he crying?' I thought. Do I walk over to him? Do I stay here? Will he think I'm weird when I say that I've been watching him? I . . .

I'm not sure how to tell him. I was told not to do this, but I have to. I mean, wouldn't you... Wouldn't you want to meet your brother, the one you thought was dead...

So I defied protocol. I became visible to my brother and I told him that I was alive. My brother screamed. He ran away. "Why are you running from me, brother? I am alive! Not dead! Isn't this joyous?" I shouted as I tailed him. Then I slipped on a puddle and saw my reflection.

To my disbelief, I saw starring back at me not a pair of eyes but a single lens sodered onto metal body. I was a robot. They lied to me... How could they do this?! I started to run away but a van pulled up and two men hopped out. One of them pressed a button and everything froze.
