It was a regular morning in the Detroit Police Department where you had been working for almost 4 years. You had been gone for 3 months to tend to a sick relative and it was your first day back. You had heard about the android revolution on TV, but you had been out of town when it happened.

You were standing in the breakroom with Detective Gavin Reed, eyeing through a magazine and drinking your morning coffee. He had been trying to get in your pants ever since you started working there, but you weren't interested in him in that way. Though you liked to tease him and had actually become quite good friends with him in your time at the precinct.

"Did you have a nice weekend, [y/n]? Gavin asked while taking a sip of his coffee.

You gave him a small smile and nodded. "Yes, if you call being home playing video games a nice weekend, sure!"

"Pfft, nerd" Gavin teased.

"Shut u.." You trailed off when you noticed a very handsome man talking to Lieutenant Hank Anderson.

"Oh, who is that hot guy? Is he new?" you said excitedly.

"Hi, Gavin" Gavin said in an attempt to be funny.

You playfully punched his arm. "Haha very funny...no, I mean him" you pointed towards the dark-haired man, now leaning over Hank's shoulder as he watched something on the monitor. They laughed and looked like they had fun.

Gavin's face went from showing disappointment to pure rage in a fraction of a second when he noticed who you were pointing at.

"For fuck sake, [y/n]! You gotta be kidding me!" He growled, clearly irritated.

"What?" What was wrong with thinking a man was attractive? It wasn't the first time you showed Gavin you weren't interested in him in that way. You were confused.

"It, not he, is a fucking android! It's made of fucking plastic! You can't seriously think a machine is attractive!" Gavin nearly screamed.

"You're kidding, right?" you asked, but you soon got the answer when the dark-haired man suddenly turned around and you clearly could see the bright blue LED on its right temple.

"You better stay away from that plastic prick" Gavin said. "You can't trust it"

"First of all why? Second, how is that gonna be possible when we work at the same place?" you raised an eyebrow as you spoke.

"Just fucking do as I say, [y/n]!" He was obviously annoyed from being questioned by you. He stormed out of the precinct and left you in the breakroom.

You sighed confused, drank the last sip of your now almost cold coffee and returned to your desk.

You browsed through the casefiles on your monitor when you suddenly heard a soft voice.

"I don't believe we've met" You looked up from your monitor and were met with the most dreamy hazelbrown eyes. If you thought he/it(?) was attractive from afar, it wasn't anything near what he looked like this close. His perfect symetrical face, dotted with tiny freckles. His eyes, his dreamy brown eyes and his soft-looking lips. You wondered what they would taste like...No [y/n], now is not the time for such inappropriate thoughts, you told yourself.

When you returned to reality and had picked up your jaw from the ground, you quickly responded

"Oh, sorry..I'm Detective [y/n][y/l/n], nice to meet you" you held out your hand towards him.

You could swear you felt an electrical shock when he took your hand.

"My name is Connor, I'm the android sent by Cyberlife" he said.

You noticed his LED turning to a bright red color for a few seconds when your hands met. What did that mean? The android froze for a second and then quickly excused himself and went back to his desk. What was that all about?

The hours went past and you found yourself glancing towards Connor more than once, where you sat at your desk letting your thoughts wander freely. There was something about him, something

you couldn't put your finger on. He was very attractive, yes, but there was something else aswell.

Suddenly Captain Jeffrey Fowler came out from his office and called you in.

What could this be about? you thought as you rose from your desk and walked towards the big office.

"[y/n], you will be working with Hank and Connor today. There has been a report of a homicide in an apartment downtown. Get to it!"

"Oh okay, Captain" you replied, realising you suddenly felt nervous.

You exited Fowler's office and walked towards Hank and Connor who were laughing about something.

"Hey, guys. I'm supposed to work with you today and there has been a homicide downtown. We should head out"

"Well, let's go then" The scruffy lieutenant sighed as he rose from his seat and grabbed his old-looking leatherjacket.

"Glad to have you with us" Connor said and gave you a warm smile.

It gave you butterflies in your stomach and your cheeks turned a light pink. How was a machine able to make you feel like this? Get a hold of yourself, [y/n]!

Hank pulled up outside an old-looking apartment in a not so friendly neighborhood. It almost looked abandoned, if there hadn't been a few lights on in some of the building's windows, you would have thought so at least.

Hank went inside the building with Connor and you following closely. The smell hit you like a fist in the stomach. Sure, this wasn't the first homicide case you had been on, but you would probably never get used to the smell.

"So, what have we here?" Hank asked an officer who was reading on a tablet.

"Victim's name is Eric Johnson, age 34, male, accused of drugdealing and assault" Connor stated before the officer had a chance to reply. He then walked around the apartment analyzing evidence.

You watched as he bent down to touch something on the floor. He then moved his fingers up to his mouth and actually licked them. What the hell? "There was an android here" he said.

"Thirium?" Hank asked plainly.

"Yes, quite a lot of it actually. The trail goes from the victim and out that door" He pointed at the fire escape door.

"What's thirium?" you asked curiously. You couldn't see anything on the floor.

"You call it ´blue blood´, it's what's powering androids biocomponents" Connor explained. "It evaporates after a few hours and gets invisible to the naked eye, but I can still see it"

"Oh, that's convenient" you replied. Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing having an android assisting the police force. You had no idea why Gavin hated him so much and why he wanted you to stay away from him.

You went to the door and opened it. There was a ladder leading down, but no visible signs that someone had used it recently. You went inside again and closed the door.

Inside, Connor was stating facts to Hank. "The victim was attacked, probably by the android. He got his throat slit with that knife" He pointed on a knife which was placed beside the victim.

"Well, whatever happened, the android must have taken off, since you said the trail of thirium goes through the door" Hank sighed.

"Did the victim own an android?" Connor asked while rubbing his chin in thought.

One of the other officers who you didn't know the name of replied. "Yeah, an HK300. Went by the name 'Theo'."

"Well then, make a report of a missing HK300. I think we're done here" Connor headed for the front door.

-3 months later-

After working with the lieutenant and Connor for 3 months, you had become quite close to them both. You even occasionally crashed on Hank's couch the nights you were out and had a bit too much to drink. You couldn't handle alcohol that well. You soon realized that you really liked Connor. He made you laugh and his smile made your heart skip a beat. Everytime you saw him you got butterflies in your stomach. But the reality hit you hard. Even if he looked

and sounded human, he were in fact an android. You weren't even sure he was able to feel love. You would never be able to make him happy, you thought, and that made you sad.

One day, the three of you were on a case. You were in an old abandoned factory building. Connor and Hank stood on a catwalk 5 floors up and tried to calm down a teenage boy who hysterically begged for help. You were standing on a metal beam sticking out from the catwalk.

On the other end of the beam was a teenage girl. She was crying and seemingly afraid. You approached her slowly with your hands held towards her.

"Everything will be okay, you just have to move towards me. I will help you" You said reassuringly.

As you approached her, she suddenly let out a sinister laugh and pulled out a gun. She pointed it directly at you as you heard a loud bang. You looked down and noticed a growing dark red spot on your shirt. You stumbled, and like in slow motion, you fell. The last thing you saw was Connor's terrified face as he screamed your name, then everything went dark.
