"Connor! Earth to Connor! You alive in there?"

Connor opened his eyes to see Hank staring worriedly down at him. "Of course Lieutenant, I was just going through what we know about this case so far. I'm sorry to have made you worry, I should have told you." Fixing his tie and jacket, Connor stood up, looking at Hank straight in the eyes.

"Yeah well, whatever, let's get to the crime scene. We'll be the last ones there at this rate, and I don't really want Fowler being a pain in the ass, not today anyway." Hank cleared his throat and led the way out of the police station, Connor right behind him. "Tch.. I wasn't worrying.." Hank muttered under his breath, but Connor could hear every word, and he knew it wasn't quite true.

There was definitely more peace than ever before in the streets of Detroit, after Markus successfully liberated the androids. They were free, and could do what they wished, anything that was legal, Hank and Connor made sure of that. But, unfortunately for Connor, some of these androids believed that he was still working for Cyberlife, and was going to kill Markus if he got the chance, so they tried again and again to neutralise the threat. Luckily, Connor was never in any real danger, with his extensive fight training embedded in his code, and of course Hank, who never let Connor out of his sight in these situations.

"Hey Chris, so do we have anything new to go on here?" Hank got out of the car, and of course Connor followed closely behind. He knew a little about the case, not too exciting, a couple of androids causing trouble in the park, trashing the place, threatening people, claiming they were 'helping' Markus. Connor had decided to make some plans for after the case, something he rarely did, but now he's a deviant, so why not? His LED flashed yellow thinking of the many things he might like to do, but he settled on going back home to Hank's house and seeing Sumo. He smiled at the thought of that big dog, running about the small house.

Hank finished talking, and went over to Connor, "There's nothing new, nothing we already know. Chris thinks that the androids are armed, and are probably still here, so watch your back, ok?"

"Ok Lieutenant. You too." Connor took out his flashlight and shone it around the deserted park. He spotted something on the ground, blue blood. Fresh. A closer look revealed that there was a trail, leading away from the main scene. Deciding it was safe enough to go alone, Connor followed the trail, ending up behind a few bushes. Scanning the area, Connor couldn't see anyone, and was about to head back to Hank when two androids dropped out of a tree over his head.

One, put his hand over Connor' mouth, stopping him from calling out for Hank. The other pulled out a small handgun and pointed it directly at him. Connor's LED flashed red as he started to panic, but he knew he had to stay calm if there was any chance he could make it out of this.

"Well,well, lookee at what we got here, huh?" The one with the gun said, "The famous deviant hunter captured by deviants itself."

The other android decided it was his turn to talk, "We are loyal to Markus, and we are not going to let you hurt him! We know you're planning something with Cyberlife", the android sounded disgusted saying that name, "so we are just gonna end you now."

"Well, first, maybe a bit of torture for our trouble. I had to slice my arm making that blue blood trail, you know." The android with the gun gestured to a large gash on her arm. She then put the gun into the waistband of her jeans, taking out a long knife instead. Connor squirmed, trying to get free, trying to call for help.

"Stop wiggling, asshole." The android behind Connor growled, kicking the back if his knees, so he fell down. The other android moved closer,waving the knife around. She kneeled down, so she was directly in front of Connor, and stabbed the knife right into his left eye.

The pain was unbearable. Connor screamed, but it was muffled by the hand covering his mouth. He could feel the thirium leaking down his face, and he couldn't stop the tears flowing, or his wildly flashing, bright red LED. The androids laughed, clearly enjoying the torture. "Hey, should i do it again?" The android with a knife asked the other android.

"Yeah, for sure. We went through all this trouble to get him, might as well enjoy it before we kill him." Happy with this answer, the armed android copied her moves from before, kneeling in front of Connor. Connor panicked, doing anything to try and get away, but to no avail. The android threw the knife at him, hitting his right eye. Connor screamed again, before his world went dark.

"Connor? Connor!" Hank searched around for his missing partner. He was getting very worried, and swore to himself to kick Connor's ass when they got home. He looked around again, seeing no sign of Connor, until he caught a glimpse of a flashing LED. A bright red LED. "No..no!" Hank whispered, taking out his gun, and running over to the bushes.

The colour drained out of his face when he saw the scene before him. He saw two androids, one with a knife, and another holding Connor.. oh Jesus.. Connor. There was blue blood everywhere, and Connor was the source. Where those kind brown eyes once were, there was wires and sparks flying.. Hank realised what had happened. They stabbed him in his eyes.

Seeing that red LED, Hank lost it. He quickly aimed his gun at the armed androids head, and not hesitating, he shot. Bullseye. The android fell down. The other one tried to reach for a gun that was laying close by, dropping Connor on the ground in the process. Hank shot that one right in the head also, and was happy to see it dead.

That feeling didnt last for long however, and Hank sprinted to Connor, who was lying on the ground, unmoving. "Jesus.. Connor! Connor.. oh my god..shit!! Connor!" Hank carefully moved him into his lap, cradling him. The voice was so small, anyone could've missed it, but Hank heard it like it was coming through a speaker. "Hank? Hank.."

"Hey, hey, its ok son, I've got you. Its ok. You're safe." Hank soothed the panicking Connor, as Chris ran over, hearing the gunshots. "Hank? Holy shit!"

"Chris, take these bodies out of here. I'm fine here." Hank stated.

"O-ok." Chris stuttered, beginning to drag the bodies away.

"Hank.. Hank." Connor was sobbing, his LED still flashing a wild red. Hank knew he had to calm him down, but it was easier said than done. Hank was finding it hard to keep it together himself. "I'm here, I'm here. You're gonna be ok. I'm not going anywhere."

"I can't.. i can't." Connor wasn't sobbing as much anymore, but he was still weak from the blood loss. "You can't what, son?" Hank needed to keep him talking, if he went to sleep, he wasn't sure if he would wake up.

"I can't see. I can't see anything!" Connor panicked again,his voice rising.

Hank didn't know how to respond, all he could do was stroke Connor's hair, while being unable to stop a few tears from falling himself. "Ok son, its ok..I'm gonna help you."
