Chapter 11

The Time Has Come

Connor is scanning and knowing this probably won't end well. But He's tired of people he cares very much about getting hurt. His programming is set to complete this mission even if it means sacrificing himself to the Connor RK900.

"Ah I knew you'd show up and fight me. Connor RK800." Mocked Nines.

"I'm here to stop you at any cost." Said Connor knowing he still has his gun if things do get that far.

"I'm here to do the same but hopefully you'll surrender. My orders are to take you alive." Said Nines following his orders.

Connor shut his eyes and sighed. He remembered all the times he'd said that to Amanda and Hank. It hurt to know he was just like this one as well a year ago.

"Never. Will I let you take what's mine!" Connor yelled and tackled Nines. Ninja like fighting ensued. Connor's fighting was underclass compared to the upgraded RK900's fight style. Connors leg and arm are broken and the arm is detached from his body. Connor looks up at Nines and said.

"I'll shutdown and I'll be of no use to your damn Mission. I'm gona…. Give you… a….Choice. One my….friend showed…me." Said Connor fighting to stay functional.

"Never will I Deviate to your foolish ways." Said Nines will blue blood dripping from his forehead from the fight.

"CONNOR!" shouted Hank from the roof door. He saw Connor was in very bad way. Connor looked back at Hank with a mixture of emotion. Hank looked at Connor then back Nines.

"You son of a bitch." Said Hank beyond anything he could stand in anger. He shot Nines three times in the chest. And even when Nines was dying on the ground he shot him once more in the head. And the RK900 was dead.

"Hank… I don't…have much time." Connor said reaching out to Hank. Hank held Connor.

"I'll get us help. Just … just hold on Connor." Hank said feeling what's coming.

"I'm sorry Hank. Sorry about Sumo and the House." Said Connor his voice degrading from the damage.

"Stop, Don't talk. I'm gona get you out of here." Said Hank picking up Connor's body. He wasn't a young Cop but he knew time was important to an Androids body before shutdown. He quickly dialed Markus and Ben.

(Mean While)

"Shit, no. North this is the time. Connor's been badly hurt send out the Androids." Markus said deeply hurt.

"And send some of Simon's crew over to this location. Connor's body is badly damaged." He continued. Markus and many Androids took to the streets and marched down to the location.

Simon and several of his crew found Hank. Hank was sobbing into Connor's chest. Connor was barely alive at all with all the blue blood loss. Simon got to Connor. And told Hank.

"Hank. He'll be saved and any more minutes and he'd be gone." He said diagnosing Connor's systems.

Connor with his remaining hand.

"Save me." He whispered in a degraded tone.

"We will Connor. Markus and Hank demand it." So They got him to a nearby building and several Androids were working quickly to replace his arm and leg

"Connor please sit up and drink at least two of these blue blood packets." Said a Female android.

"Is Hank alright? I heard the gunshots." Said Connor tired if that even possible.

"Hank is over there. And he's beyond scared. We have a android watching over him." Said Simon.

"Tell him I'm gona make it. Tell him I'm sorry." Said Connor. Simon sighed and said

"Ok." Then Simon walked out to Hank. Hank looked at Simon and said

"Is he..?"

"No, he's alive. But we must give him a few hours for the blue blood to fix the damage. He's extremely guilt ridden right now Hank. He blames himself for this whole thing and him getting almost killed." Simon told Hank.

"Get out of my way." He said upset and walked into the room where Connor was laying on an old mattress.

"Oh Connor." He said sitting beside Connor. He held his boy's hand.

"I tried Hank. I tried to do what you wanted me to do. Stop that Asshole." Said Connor.

"Shh, don't talk. When will you stop jumping before you think? Connor, Why didn't you shoot him?" asked Hank still holding Connor's hand. Knowing he had a gun.

"Markus would've wanted me to talk him out. Convince him to join us. I was wrong." Said Connor in regrets.

"Connor, you humble me. You never stop surprising me and making me proud to know you." Said Hank feeling fatherly pride for Connor.

(Mean while)

Markus is at the docks and said

"Here is where Simon's memory of Connor's location of the Underground is. Remember no killing the heads running this place. We will do this according to human laws. They will be arrested in the human ways."

They didn't take long and they breeched the door.

(Mean While)

"Shit, John we've been compromised."

"No shit. I told you this whole thing wasn't worth fighting. But no. you had a hole to pick a fight with RK800. Cause he broke your job and some of the rest of us were….."

A noise of chaos came through the door.

"I'm here to find the ones in charge of this workhouse?" said Markus stepping up to John and Yuka.

"Yuka. She's the one behind the whole thing." Shouted John throwing her under the bus.

"You son of a Bitch. You programmed the whole RK class." Cussed Yuka at John.

"Well well this is a surprise. You both are heads of the Cyberlife programs of my Series. Well I think Connor will have a field day questioning you both." Said Markus being clever.

The other Androids bound the two hands behind their backs. Take them to the police station so Hank and Connor can get the respect they deserve." Instructed Markus. And the Androids did as they were told.

(Mean while)

Connor recovered two hours after and Markus gave his words that the Underground was infiltrated. He captured several heads of the group.

"Thanks Markus." Said Connor inside his head to Markus.

"No problem Brother. They're at the Police station. For whatever you do best. I wish you the best of luck." Said Markus.

(Mean while)

Connor and Hank are in the car driving to the Police station.

"You ready for question this asshole's Connor. You just almost died back there. And I'm still wheeling from that. Connor, I almost saw you die." Said Hank checking Connor's mental wellbeing.

"I have to Hank. We're Detectives and Cops too. If I was to weaken on the job what kind of Cop would I be." Said Connor looking at Hank with a half smile. Hank smiled back

"You're my boy alright. Always trying to comfort me instead. And yes. Were the best on the force and I think someone who us a party after this." said Hank and he winked at Connor.

They got to the Police station and walked inside.

"Hank! And Connor! Thank god Fowler told me that Connor was down. But…" Chris said shocked

"Yeah I was damaged but I have friends. Good friends that watch my back." Said Connor looking at Hank.

Hank slapped Connor's back as in Damn right.

"So where's the assholes Markus brought us?" asked Hank.

"They're in the cells waiting for you both to question them." Said Chris pointing behind Captain Fowler's office.

That's when Connor grew worried. Hank knowing Connor long enough caught this.

"Hey, listen if you can't handle it. I'll question them." Said Hank trying to ease the stress on Connor. If he felt stress that is?

"No, I'll be okay." Said Connor straightens his tie. Another sign to Hank that he wasn't. So they walked to the cells and two officers walked a woman into a interrogation room.

"Yuka Xing. Age: 34. Occupation: AI specialist on the Connor RK Series. Working under the Amanda AI that Advise the Connors." Said Chris. This was too much for Connor.

"This is the Amanda that ordered me. Made everything I ever had to do." Connor was shocked and angered.

"Connor. I'll question her." Said Hank seeing the anger in Connor's eyes.

"She tried to shut me down. She hacked me into attempting to shoot Markus that night. Kamski. Kamski's back door was what freed me, Hank. Kamski isn't a villain." Said Connor finally explaining that night which Connor never talked about.

Hank just stared at Connor. Shocked at this news.

"She controlled your orders?" he said confused. Connor's eyes went down and he felt guilt once again.

"No, you don't. Don't you go there Connor." Said Hank holding Connor's shoulders.

"She's the enemy and I'm gona cross questions. This is too much for you and I understand being she'd threatened orders at you. She won't scare me son." He said and left to go into that room.

Connor was given a chair

"Take it easy Connor. Hank's pretty good at some Interrogations." Assured Chris. Trying to comfort Connor's fear.

Hank walked into the room. Looked at the folder of pictures of the underground Labs.

"So, I hear you controlled the mental orders of the RK series. Am I correct?" said Hank just waiting to rip her ass apart.

"Yes, and your Connor didn't have the guts to shoot that Deviant Leader. Very disappointing." She said staring at the two way mirror.

"Connor. It's ok see can't see you." Said Chris seeing Connor squirm in nervous.

"So? My Connor disobeyed your orders. And I'm sure you hated my living guts, that my influence fucked up your plans." Said Hank placing his palms against the table and staring deeply into her brown eyes.

"Yes, if he hadn't grown attached to emotions he would've listened and obeyed." She said defensive to her job.

"Bullshit. You couldn't fight …." Chris stopped Hank.

"Connor. Fought his emotions for a long while. I was no help. He was fighting himself from within. Struggling to figure out who to trust. And clearly he bonded and trusted me." Said Hank looking at Yuka then the mirror.

Connor looked at Hank. Chris looked at Connor. Connor stood up and walked to the mirror window. He placed his hand on the window. Chris smiled and said

"You're good Connor."

"He's said… I trusted him." Said Connor honored by that.

"Well, I'm glad he trusts you at least. He barely did before you came to the Police Station." Said Chris.

Then Hank said

"If you don't tell me everything on why you wanted my partner then we'll just charge you with murder and conspiracy of Terrorism." Connor just watched Hank arguing with her to get her to talk.

"Fuck off Cop! I know my rights. You can't just except me to spill my guts. I want a lawyer." She said getting angry.

"Fine. If you wana play with that kind of tape." Said Hank pissed off. He left the room and out to his desk. Connor looked at Chris.

"Hmm that didn't go well." Said Chris worried. Connor left the room and found Hank in Fowler's Office. Clearly demanding something. Connor walked into the office and stood aside like he always did.

"Damn it Jeffery. She wants a lawyer. Can't we stall that a while. I know with the right method I can get her to crack." Begged Hank.

"Hank, you know your job and I know when you've done enough to damage things. Why the heck didn't you have Connor do the questioning?" said Fowler.

"Cause, Connor has history on this woman. She mind gamed him inside his head. He's been through enough Jeffery." Said Hank looking at Connor.

"If I may Lieutenant. I want to question her. I'm good. I want to ask some questions." Said Connor gaining backbone in bravery.

"Connor. She abused you inside your mind. Who's to say she'll do the same again." Reasoned Hank.

"Hank, I'm not her puppet anymore. Something I'm coming to terms with. I have questions. Questions I asked her about Kamski and other things. She refused and I'm determined to get those answered. For personal reasons Hank." Said Connor in almost a non emotional way.

"*Sighs, ok, Just nod at me behind the mirror if it's getting too much. I won't allow her tricks to hurt you again." Hank said realizing Connor's not a young boy but a man Android. And must be left to learn mistakes for himself.

"Ok. But if this gets no where Hank. It's on both of you." Said Captain Fowler.

Then both Hank and Connor leave Fowler's office.

"I hope you know what you're doing Connor?" said Hank hoping Connor doesn't get screwed up.

Hank goes into the observing room and Connor walks inside the interrogation room.

"Ah, Connor. I'm glad you've decide to talk with me." Said Yuka practically grinning.

"You aren't Amanda. And you have no hold over me." Said Connor showing not a single twitch of fear.

"Oh but you should. You see. The reason I wanted you back alive was to take you apart and find out why you chose to deviate. I have to know where the Prototype Series keeps failing simple captures. And It seems the RK900 couldn't do its job either." Said Yuka in her best Amanda impersonation.

"I chose humanity over orders. For several reasons. Markus was right. I was your tool. Being used to stop beings that are abused and tortured and only wanted human freedom." Said Connor defending his actions.

"Connor, don't let her get to you." Hank mumbled to himself. Chris hear him and looked at Hank and then out the mirror to Connor.

"I want to know more on Kamski. How much do you really know about Kamski?" asked Connor knowing at this point he knows a lot about Kamski from why he left to what the media was lead to believe.

"Kamski was a genius and a fool. I don't know how you figured out the back code to escape my AI Garden but it was impressive." She said in awe.

"I don't believe you on why you wanted me back?" said Connor getting frustrated.

"Connor. I was gona get a promotion if you succeeded in your mission. But instead, you lost me my job and promotion both. And I was angry that another Android and Human swayed you from your mission. And for that I wanted you back to be taken apart and that's all." She said getting angry.

"I have one more question. Why did you hack me the very last time?" he asked looking at her dead in the eyes with hate.

"It was my last chance to stop Markus and I saw you were right where we needed you to be and you had a gun. And this time you would either get lost in the storm or die. I had no idea you'd find the back code. I'm still not sure how you figured it out?" Yuka said confessing.

Connor grinned and leaned up to her ear.

"Kamski told me about the back door to all of his AI programs. Kamski sold you out." He whispered being clever and feeling very brilliant.

The shocked look on her face was everything Connor wanted to see. She was shocked.

"Kamski sold out his back code to you? How? When?" she started to beg.

"Why should I tell you? You don't care about nothing but your mission. Tell me? How does it feel to feel toyed with? I'm sure you didn't enjoy it. Well. I guess you should know? My memory of Kamski's back door was so slight, that even you only saw that I didn't shoot the Chloe." Connor looked at her just soaking in the verbal probing of his former mentor.

Then Connor looked at the mirror.

"I'm done with this one." He said giving her a glare as he hit the panel with his hand.

Hank smiled and left the room and held Connor.

"That was some talk you gave to that bitch." Said Hank wowed. He never saw that from Connor before.

"Your words like venom. Its spooked her as well as it did me. But it worked you got her to confess her reasons on why she did this whole thing as well as to why she wanted to take you." Said Hank proud and glad this will get her and that John guy in jail for a long long time.

(A months later)

Yuka and John were sentenced and were convicted of several counts of murder and attempted murder and causing forced slavery of ex employees.

(A few weeks after the trial)

"Well how's it feel to be on Homicide again?" asked Hank driving to a crime scene.

"It's great Hank. As long as you're my partner. There's no crime we can't solve.

"Dang right, Connor." Said Hank wanting it no other way. Then the scene fades into black.
